Topic 20 My View on Keeping Pets
Recently, more and more people begin to keep pets. They argue that keeping
pets brings several advantages. First, a pet is a good companion, especially to
old and lonely people. Second, a pet in the family can always bring amusement
and entertainment. What’s more, getting on well with pets could make a person
more careful, considerate and responsible.
Keeping pets also brings many problems. To begin with, we have heard too
many instances of pets, such as dogs and cats, injuring people. Once bitten, the
victim should receive treatment as soon as possible. Moreover, pets may also
spread diseases because they cannot be always clean. Finally, many pets are too
expensive to keep. We must be surprised to know how much it costs to buy and
keep a rare dog.
From what has been discussed above, we can see clearly that the
disadvantages are more obvious. The government should control the total number
of pets, and the owner should take care of his pet lest it pollute the
environment or spread diseases or even attack people. |
