AGREEING & DISAGREEING
Agreement &
Disagreement
You should
never give pets as presents. Do you agree with this statement?
I am not sure because people don’t know how to look
after a dog. Often dogs are mistreated, abandoned or left aside. The moment you
get a pet, you have to worry about it; you have to feed it, you have to bathe
it, caress it, walk it.. It isn’t a stuffed animal.
The education of a puppy requires a lot of time and
dedication. A dog is for life and not just for Christmas. An animal isn’t a toy
that is thrown away when you get tired or old; it is a living being that needs
a lot of care and a responsible owner. A dog is a companion that will accompany
you throughout your life.
I totally agree. Pets as presents are one of the main
reasons of pet abandonment.
Maybe, but if the person who receives it, looks after
it/ takes care of it and doesn’t abandon it, why not?
I agree with giving pets as presents if the person who
receives the gift is responsible, affectionate and good with the pet. But I
disagree with this statement if the person is a bad influence because a pet is
a living being and can’t be returned.
I disagree because an animal is a living being and a responsibility.
I totally disagree. That they give you an animal as a
present can make you very happy, an animal is like a friend and it’s a great
present idea.
