Pets should be treated like family members.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons to support your opinion.

With the rapid development of social economic, more and more people have the money and condition to raise a pet for their interest. Then, there comes the problem that whether we should treat our pets like family members or just treat them like normal animals. Different people have different ideas upon this problem, but as far as I am concerned, I strongly agree with the idea that we should treat our pets like family members.

First of all, pets are chosen by us for accompaniment, and they give us the selfless warmness like family members, of course we should give back them family member’s treatment. That is not to say that we should eat together or sleep together with them, because some special kinds of pets such as snakes are very dangerous, then what I think about family member’s treatment means that we should respect and love them just like we do for our family members.

Secondly, I think pets also have emotions, they need to be loved by their owners, and they deserve the family member’s treatment. We can easily find films that show the concept that pets are our good friends and sometimes good family members. For example, in a film called Heart Is, a little girl and his brother lose their parents in a car accident, so they have to live on their own. One day, the girl finds a little lovely dog in front of the door and takes it home, then the dog becomes a member of the family. They live together and overcome many problems together, there are many times that the dog protects the little girl and their family from bad people’s destruction. What we can see from this film is that even pets have emotions, if we treat them like family members, they will feel it and they will give back at the very tough moment.

Last but not the least important, the reason why we have pets is that we want to live more happily with them. So if we just treat them like normal animals and just give them what they need in time, how much happiness can these boring and troublesome activities bring to us? However, if we regard them as family members or friends, we can talk to them when we have something that is not convenient to tell human beings, and we can also share our feelings about life with them, because they are usually good listeners.

To sum up, pets are our good friends, since they can always bring warm accompaniment and good state of mind to us, they deserve the treatment like family members.
