养宠物的坏处(最好是英文的有中文翻译的)
The disadvantages of pet ownership
Finances:The initial cost of an animal is minor compared to the MAINTENANCE involved.
At vets in my area the office visit is $27 - and that's just to make the appointment and be seen.If they do anything,such as an exam ($60),or vaccinations ($65),or teeth cleaning with anesthesia($150-$200),those are all additional costs at the time.Low cost spay/neuter clinics can usually do a spay or neuter for under $50.
Please remember the recent pet food recall.Many innocent owners and their pets had to rush to the emergency vet and have their pet hospitalized for 3 days or more due to kidney failure from poisoned food (cost approx.$1,000) and even then the pet died!So bear in mind that things like this can happen.What if a pet were to get hit by a car,mauled by a dog,come down with kidney failure,etc?A chronic long-term problem is expensive.
Lifestyle and time:When you are away from home for hours in school or work,who will be at home with the pet?Do both parents work?It is unfair to take a pet away from its loving mother and siblings,only to leave it in solitary confinement in a new and strange and frightening environment away from everything he/she knows.On the weekends,do you go off with friends?Spend time with your pet?Will the novelty wear off in a month?This is not a toy,but a living being!This is a LIFETIME COMMITTMENT.You can't get tired of caring for the pet and dump him/her at the pound.
Remember,you want a good fit - not only for your family but most of all for the pet since he/she cannot speak for themselves and have to rely on the maturity,caring,and RESPONSIBILITY of the family that adopts it.All living beings require more than good intentions and well wishes.They have an absolute requirement as all living creatures do for food,water,shelter and medical care.So think carefully about whether or not you can afford to properly care for a pet.Remember,it is their RIGHT BY LAW to receive proper medical care.
