Too much attention is paid to and too much money is spent on keeping pets, while people throughout the world is starving.

* Discuss the arguments for and against keeping pets.
* To what extent do you agree?

In today's world, pets have been quite popular amongst the society ranging from the youth to the elders. There are many different reasons for people to keep pets, with the most common reason would be the need of a company. While some people, especially the elders, keep pets as a guidance and a guardian. Trained dogs could guide blind people and guard the doors. But some people pour too much time and money for the sole sake of maintaining their pets' needs. Hundreds of dollars are spent on pets' saloon and/or their food. While the riches could afford of said luxury, has it ever crossed their mind that instead of spending all those money on their pets they could perhaps donate some to the poorer people out there?

Pets could be useful at times. For when you need a friend and there seems like no one is there for you, its presence could prove to be not worthless. Basically, people just need to fulfill their primary needs, like food, love, and shelter. It's not like your pets demand you to drive them to the pets' saloon if they have never been there before. However, untrained pets are quite a bother, for they could run around your house and thrash everything in their way. So keep pets on

In my opinion, comparing keeping pets and paying attention to the starving people in the world is rather far-fetched. Because it's not like the officials totally abandon humanity helps and go for the pets. Besides, helping people is solely based on our own consciences.
