131 A NATION OF PET-LOVERS

Julia Elliot discusses the English love of pets.
A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family there spent more money on its pets than on its children. This

is a rather shocking statistic. It is possible that Americans are unique in caring for their pets, but the information we have would suggest that the English too do their best to take good care of their pets. This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost as much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone. It is difficult not to feel sad about this when one thinks what the same amount of money could do for poor or old people, especially when I read about another old person who has left all his/her money to a dog or cat home. There are a variety of reasons why I, personally, find the popularity of British pets alarming. First of all, they cause physical problems. An example of this is London, where there is great difficulty in getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies – a disease with no known cure - that has made the English government take some measures by restricting animals coming into the United Kingdom. Another problem is the carelessness of some pet owners. Most little children want a dog or cat. It is only when the 'sweet little thing' has been brought home that parents realize how much time and money must be spent on 'Bonzo' or 'Bulky'. Therefore, many of these owners abandon their pets. Pets which are allowed to run free are not sweet at all. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet. You may think that I dislike all pets, but this is not true at all. We are a nation of pet-lovers. Wouldn't it be betiü to be lovers of human beings?
