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.

, I believe that a recommendation of having a

still far outweigh the drawbacks. On the one hand, there are two main reasons why people might disapprove of the suggestion that all

children

should have a

to look after. The first objection is some families cannot afford a

pet

for their

children

due to

financial difficulty. In specific, raising a

pet

requires a huge amount of money, which might hurt one’s budget significantly.

For example

For instance
