答案 Should Raising Pets Be Banned? With the steady growth in the country’s economy as well as the people’s living standard, a great many city dwellers take up the hobby of keeping pets. In their mind, pets bring great happiness and fun to their life. In reality, pets have become a member of the pet owner’s family. However, recently this phenomenon has triggered a heated discussion as to whether city people should be allowed to raise pets. There are people on both sides of the argument who have very strong feelings. The pet lovers claim that raising a pet benefits us a lot. First of all, a pet is a faithful and obedient companion to its owner. Pets are affectionate and cute. Secondly, they possess the inborn ability to entertain people, providing a rich source of pleasure and fun. They help people rid their loneliness and ease the tense life pressure. Moreover, keeping a pet does good to children’s psychological development, because it teaches children how to care for others and how to appreciate life while help them to cultivate a strong sense of responsibility. Pets also have some practical uses. They can be a loyal companion, a doorkeeper or a guide dog. In some special cases, pets even act as the protector and savior of the owner. In a word, there arc many advantages of keeping a pet at home. On the other hand, there are also many opponents who strongly condemn this hobby. From their point of view, pets bring far more harm than good to us city dwellers. To begin with, it is a costly and time-consuming hobby. You have to accommodate them, care for them and spend time with them Moreover, it is very dirty. They litter everywhere and may carry some fatal viruses, which are great threats to human health. They even spread some infectious diseases to their owners and sometimes even those people around them. What’s more, they are troublemakers to the neighborhood. Some pet dogs and cats enjoy barking or miaowing at midnight, which is an irritating disturbance to the neighbors. Pets may sometimes attack neighbors and passers-by. On any accounts, they are unwelcome and troublesome. Just as the saying goes, "so many people, so many minds", it is quite understandable that views on this issue vary from person to person. As far as I am concerned, it is advisable not to keep a pet in a city, because this hobby brings us more drawbacks than merits. If there were too many pets running on the streets, barking at night, littering everywhere or biting the pedestrians, could you put up with it? Therefore, we had better give up this hobby for the common good.
