Discuss the arguments for and against raising pets.

Keeping and nurturing domesticated

animals

has always drawn public attention and sparked controversies.

Although

its benefits are proven, the negative effects on

pets

themselves are undeniable. On the one hand,

pets

are well-known for their playfulness and are assumed to have positive effects on their

owners

’ health. Nowadays, people tend to live apart from families in order to work or study.

Therefore

In other words

, raising

pets

have been considered to be a mental therapy.

In addition

,

pets

themselves receive attention, care and love in return.

Hence

, the beneficial impacts are equal for both

owners

and

animals

.

On the other hand

, it is necessary to recognise the fact that there is no guarantee that all domesticated

animals

live happily with their

owners

such

as space, exercise or contact with members of the same species has become a pervasive problem with keeping

pets

pets

are being kept for inappropriate reasons, one of which is as a manifestation of affluence and status of the

owners

pets

may not be cherished and are likely to be abandoned or killed when the

owners

lose interest in them. In conclusion, raising

animals

as

pets

is beneficial for humans as well as

pets

themselves. Despite
