Pets are beloved by almost everyone. If you ask 100 people, I believe 99 of them will say they love pets. Nowadays, you can see various pets in almost every household. Some have cats, some have dogs, and others have different kinds of birds. These pets bring joy, happiness, and peace into their owner's lives.

Do you think pets are acceptable?Give your argument.

Yes, I believe pets are acceptable. They easily build heartfelt relationships with their owners. Their presence can bring us peace and happiness. Here are various reasons why I accept pets:

🔹Pets easily establish a relationship with their owners. They become a good companion with whom the owner can spend joyful moments.

🔹Research shows that people with pets at home have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and do not experience loneliness-induced depression.

🔹Interacting with these pets greatly reduces our mental stress. Playing with cats or dogs releases oxytocin, which brings us mental peace.

🔹Pets teach us good lessons like empathy, responsibility, and how to care for others.

🔹Pets are the best friends who never intend harm and never leave us. Some pets, like dogs, are very loyal to their owners and help in many ways, such as guarding the house. When I lived in the village, I had a pet dog with whom I have many memories that still make me laugh and cry.

🔹I once read a story in my childhood that a house with a cat has no mice. So, having pets at home is very good. These pets are very beneficial for our environment. They teach us to be humane and awaken humanity in us.

What do you think should be how food of pets?

Every animal needs food to survive. Without food, no animal can live. Pets require good quality food. Healthy food keeps pets in good condition. Here are some tips for selecting food for pets:

🔹Different animals require different types of food. We should give them the food they need to maintain a balanced diet.

🔹We need to ensure that the food for pets contains quality ingredients.

🔹The food should have balanced nutrition.

🔹Pets must be given clean water to stay hydrated.

🔹Pets should be fed at specific times.

🔹The feeding bowls should be clean and germ-free.

🔹We should monitor the pet's weight monthly.

🔹If the pet has any problems, we should consult a good doctor and get proper treatment.

Do you prefer to see animals caged or free? Why?

Your question is quite controversial. To answer it, I will discuss a few points and then give my opinion.

For animals being caged :

🔹For educational and research purposes, we often cage animals. This is very necessary for us.
Sometimes free animals become ill and need to be caged for treatment.

🔹In zoos or some parks, animals are caged for display.

🔹Sometimes free animals pose a threat to humans, so they must be caged.

For animals being free :

🔹Keeping free animals caged is an inhumane act. It is a form of mental pressure or torture for them.

🔹Sometimes animals become ill or die due to not getting a natural environment in captivity.

🔹Free animals live longer than those kept in cages. Caging is a threat to their life.

So, I would say we can cage or free animals according to necessity. But we must ensure that we are humane towards these animals and that they do not suffer any harm.
