Most people keep different pets. Their number is rising from year to year, but there are some considerable minuses of keeping pets.
Firstly, some pets, dogs for example, dislike little children and they can hurt them, so it’s dangerous to keep it, if you have a child.
Secondly, pets might cause some discomfort. In fact, a lot of people face this problem. To avoid it they have to look after their pet and try not to keep it in the rooms which are full of valuable things. For example, they may damage furniture, clothes and shoes. Besides there is a lot of mess from pets, so you have to clean after your pet. Also a pet may make a noise, so you must think many times to understand what pet you want.
Thirdly, some people can’t keep pets because they are allergic to smells and fur and can’t live with a pet in the same room.
Last, but not least, when a pet dies it’s a great emotional stress for the owner, because pets live with their owners for a long time and they became part of their family.
To conclude, though keeping a pet has certain pluses, its disadvantages can make it unacceptable for somebody. We are responsible for those whom we love.
