Răspuns/Answer:

In my opinion, having a pet is a great advantage for people, but it certainly comes with some disadvantages as well.

First and foremost, a pet brightens your day and makes it special. A pet becomes your close friend and it has been demonstrated in many cases that having a dog or a cat determines children and adults to be more responsible, more caring, but also more sociable. In addition, by cuddling and striking a pet, the heart rate lowers and this can be a therapy for ill persons, by reducing stress.

On the contrary, having a pet sometimes is as if having a little child to protect: you need to take it to the vet for expensive health analyses, you need to vaccinate it and to assure a healthy diet for it, and also medical treatment when the animal becomes ill. Having a pet reduces the budget of the owner and, in certain cases, pets may aggravate health problems in humans, determining asthma or allergies. On the second hand, depending on how the pet owners educate their animals, some pets may be jealous of children and small babies and they can hurt them.

In conclusion, the decision of having and raising a pet should belong to adults, because they can establish if their budget allows for medical care of pets and they can decide if they are able to educate and to make the pets behave smoothly with children.

Succes!
