152. Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their birds, cats, or other animals as members of their family. In your opinion, are such relationships good? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer
Many people like pets, such as dogs, cats, birds or other animals. They have a close relationship with their pets. These people give their pets clothes, foods, toys. They treat them as members of their family. But in my opinion, having a pet or not having a pet both have advantages and disadvantages.
First, pet can cause some diseases, especially, when there is a pregnant woman or an infant in the family. Pet can be very dangerous for them. It’s said that some women had strange fetuses just because they were too close to their cats or dogs. Some pets even bite infants’ penises. Any of them can put the family in a great sorrow.
Second, pet can harm environment. In China, most cities have had a lot of environment problems. There are still a lot of people who do not have the sense to protect environment. They will let their pet pee or shit anywhere. Therefore our environment will become even worse.
Finally, it is also the very important, taking care of pet needs a lot of spending. There are still a lot of people living very poor. They can not eat enough, they do not have enough clothes, they can not pay their tuitions to get basic education. Why not put the money in charity to help more people?
Though sometimes pets can be our friends, they can bring a lot of fun to us. They even offer help sometimes. But from what has been discussed above, I would say keep a distance to your pets, do not be too close to them. |
