Some people believe that all children should have a pet or an animal to look after. Other people disagree, however, saying that this depends on a child's circumstances. Consider these opposing views, and give your own opinion

It is believed that all

children

should own a

pet

or an animal to take care of. Others disagree,

however

, some think

this

is decided by the child's conditions.

This

essay will discuss the debate and give a concluding view. The various reason why keeping

pets

can be highly beneficial is that

children

can understand nutrition, and learn about biology, and daily routines,

for instance

, food selection and exercise activities,

in other words

,

this

adds greatly to a child’s all-around education.

Furthermore

, the emotional support that

children

receive from

pets

helps them feel more secure, which boosts their confidence.

However

, not all

children

live where

pet

keeping is advisable, or even possible. I would start by saying that the expense of maintaining a

pet

may be prohibitive. The fact that many

children

live in unstable family environments,

for example

, families that have unemployment or political turbulence, not only is unfair to keep

pets

but

also

dangerous because they would probably suffer neglect. The

last

point that I would like to mention is not all young people want to keep a

pet

, which is to say, their interests

elsewhere

,

therefore

, these youngsters’ ownership not be encouraged.

Overall

, it appears likely that a child’s interests, ability, and family circumstances should be taken into consideration when deciding whether to get a

pet

rather than a general view that ‘ all

children

’ should have animals. It seems

this

serves the interests of both the

children

and the

pets

involved.
