How do you think people benefit from having pets?

They can be great companions to people especially to those who live alone. Spending time with a pet can make someone feel calmer, happier and more confident. Children also learn how to be responsible when they have pets to take care of. What is more, people who need to take their pets outside have a chance to meet other pet owners that they can talk with. Going out and walking or running with a pet, can also help a pet owner keep fit.

I don't think that using animals in sports and entertainment is right. These animals are taken away from their natural environment and are kept in captivity. What is more,  they are often treated badly or kept in poor conditions. When animals are under pressure to achieve a certain goal that humans have set for them, they may become stressed or depressed and their behavior may change. On the other hand, some people think that animals used in sports and entertainment are healthy and happy because they get exercise. There are also sports in which animals are not harmed and which they actually seem to enjoy. Others say that some of these forms of entertainment, such as bullfighting are part of a country's culture and for this reason, they should be kept alive.

Why do you think some people don't want pets?

# data[].attributes.body
People who don't like pets are probably scared of them. In fact, not everyone is used to being around animals and touching them. Another reason could be that these people don't want the responsibility of having a pet and taking care of it. Also taking care of a pet can be very expensive and takes time too. Not to mention that pets can sometimes be annoying if they make noise or make a mess around the house.

I'd like to have a parrot, because parrots have beautiful colors and they make funny noises. Parrots are very clever and if I had one, maybe I could also teach it how to talk.
