उत्तर
Our Finest Friends: Birds and Animals
Birds and animals are as much a part of the ecosystem as human beings. They too have the right to enjoy nature’s gifts like us. As pets, they give us the love and affection we need to live a happy life. They are the source of comfort in times of distress. Their positive energy is hard to miss. For example, a dog devotes his life to serving his owner. He loves his owner unconditionally and strives to make his life better. His loyalty cannot be compared to anything else in the world. The happiness on his face when he sees his owner at the end of a long day is priceless. He becomes his owner’s best friend and builds his world around him. Animals are a joy to have as pets. They make our lives better in ways we can never imagine. They provide us with a sense of protection and security. They cheer us up and make us better individuals. Animals do not hurt us or threaten to destroy us. Therefore, it becomes our sole responsibility to be kind and compassionate towards animals.
We humans need to understand that a world without animals will not be worth living in. We will not just be lonely without them; we will in fact be lost.
