Pets

Pets are domesticated animals kept for companionship, enjoyment, and emotional support. Unlike livestock, which are raised for food or labor, pets are primarily valued for their social and emotional benefits. Common examples of pets include dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. They are often considered part of the family and can provide affection, joy, and comfort to their owners. Pets also contribute to their owners’ mental well-being, often reducing feelings of loneliness and stress. They require care, which includes feeding, grooming, and providing medical attention, making the bond between pets and their owners both nurturing and dependent. The practice of keeping pets dates back thousands of years, reflecting a long-standing human-Animal relationship.
