Keeping Pets
There is no denying the fact that keeping pets is a hotly debated topic today. Some people claim that keeping pets is a good thing to do. They believe that pets, like cats and dogs, can help relieve the loneliness suffered by senior citizens and other social members who are confined to their homes for this reason or that. They also argue that keeping pets helps mankind understand animals’ world and develop positive feelings toward them.
Others, however, hold the opposite view. They regard keeping pets as a useless but harmful thing to do. First, pets can transmit diseases. Secondly, the noises and dung of pets are sources of pollution. Last but not least, as many rare birds and animals are kept as pets, they will surely be hunted on a large scale, which means a threat to the balance of the ecosystem.
Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the latter. Anyway, we can lessen our loneliness and express our love toward animals in other ways. And it is my belief that only by placing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a lively and colorful world.
養寵物
無可否認，養寵物是一個激烈爭論的話題。有的人認為養寵物是做好事。他們認為，養寵物，像貓和狗這樣可以幫助減輕，老年人和人都局限于自己的這個原因或寂寞等社會的成員出現家園。他們還認為，養寵物有助于人類了解動物世界的發展和積極的感情。
其他人，然而，持有相反的觀點。他們把飼養寵物作為一個無用而有害的事。第一，寵物能傳播疾病。其次，噪音和寵物糞便污染的來源。最后但并非最不重要的，許多珍稀鳥類和動物作為寵物飼養，他們一定會找一個大的規模，這意味著一個生態系統的平衡的威脅。
權衡雙方的論點，我傾向于同意后者。無論如何，我們可以減輕孤獨感和表達我們的愛對動物的其他方面。這是我的信念，只有在人類和其他物種平等的基礎上，我們才能期望有一個活潑多彩的世界。
