Topic- pets should be treated as a family member. agree or disagree?
Animals that had been living in wild are now at our home eating what we give. Nowadays, animals are our friends unlike the past time. Living in an apartment, it is not difficult to see family raising not only their children but animals. In my opinion, pets should be treated as one's family member. I will explain about this with followings.
First, animals behave similarly as its' family members. Since pets breathe same air, sleep at the same environment and live in a similar life pattern, pets and its' family members become alilke.For example, according to the research from one of many Korea's University, pets and humans have much in common especially about habits. Just liek the owner who yawn before the dinner, the pets have a same habit. By looking at this, pets and family members have some thing in common. By this reason, as pets and family members behave so alike, animals should be treated as their family members.
Second, pets are close to humans like a family. Pets play an important role in someone's life. From long time ago, people have thought of dogs as honest and faithful animal. In case of my country Korea, there are alot of nuclear family. As a result, most of old people are living alone. This has triggered many social side effects such as insomnia, depression etc. However,dogs and other pets have became the old people's friends, family and even partnets, In addition, to many young people, pets are their friends who are faithful enough to have a heart to heart conversation. By this point of view, pets should be treated as a family member.
Last, dogs are sometimes good teachers. Recently, as many people are suffering from finincial problems, a lot of pets are on the street abandoned and thrown away. For example, in Korea, to raise a pet, people need average of $200. As a result, many people threw their pets away that made the pets suffer from coldness and ignorance. In fact, this has been a social problem too. So many dead bodies are on the streets that are making people feel bad and disgusting. We can get a lesson from this phenomenon that pets make people responsible. Once a person gets pets, that person must be responsible of his/her decision and one's life.
In conclusion, I think pets should be treated as a family member. Because pets have a lot of common with humans. Furthermore, they are very close friends who make peopel have responsibility,
