| What is a pet? |
|
A pet is an animal kept for amusement, enjoyment or companionship, usually a domesticated animal, as opposed to livestock, laboratory animals, working animals or sport animals, which are kept for economic reasons. Many rodents such as fancy rats, fancy mice, and syrian hamsters are commonly kept as household pets.
The most popular pets are noted for their loyal or playful characteristics, for their attractive appearance, or for their song. They become the object of our affections, often times even more so than other humans.
Pets also generally seem to provide their owners with non-trivial health benefits; keeping pets has been shown to help relieve stress. There is now a medically-approved class of "therapy animals," mostly dogs, who are brought to visit confined humans. Walking a dog can provide both the owner and the dog with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction.
Animals such as reptiles are typically considered exotic pets. This may change in the future, as 'exotic' pet ownership is increasing rapidly. Some of these animals, such as green iguanas, large monitor lizard species, and large birds, do not make suitable pets for the average person as they require extensive housing and diet. |
