Many people have a close relationship with their pets, like family members of their family. Are such relationships good? |
There is a controversy over whether it is good for people to have a relationship with their pets or not. Some people believe that having a good relationship with pets is important for their lives. However, I am certain that such relationships are not beneficial to people. This is because this relationship can cause serious mental problems, deprive people of time, and do harm to neighbors. Above all, having a relationship with pets can bring about a serious mental problem. To explain, people are likely to have their time with their pets, not people so that they do not have much time to share their thought or experience with other people. For example, one of my friends, who really like to spend his time on playing his dogs, has a problem communicating with his friends because he did not like playing with his friend, causing him to have difficulty getting along with friends. Hence, people should spend their time more on people’s relationships. Moreover, having a close relationship with pets has a negative effect on managing people’s time. In other words, they do not have much time to do other important tasks because they pay too much attention to raising pets, such as taking shower or beauty treatments. Therefore, people, who usually care for their pets when they have some free time, can hardly get opportunities to enjoy other hobby. It is hard for people who have pets to have another hobby because they do not have enough time to do other things. For instance, my uncle has always come back his home after finishing working and had much time with his kitten, so he do not have any hobby that might relieve his stress in a different way from his kitten. Finally, pets often damage to neighbors with physical and mental problems. What I mean by this is that pets noisy are very loud and irritating people when midnight. In addition, there were many accidents that a dog bit people’s leg in my apartment so they had to go to the hospital and took some meditations. Also, people let their pets hang around in the park without any regulations that might cause a sanitary problem such as dealing with excretions. These examples clearly show that relationships with pets are not necessarily desirable for people. To sum up, I firmly believed that a close relationship with pets is not valuable for people because of the reasons that I mentioned above. |
