　　Under current circumstances, the feeling of solitude prevails among the young and old generation as a consequence of lacking time to stay with them for the middle ages. In this case, some people may insist on the belief that it is necessary to raise a pet to driver away the sense of loneliness. However, I choose to go against the opinion and there are several reasons and examples to support what I believe.

　　For one thing, the tremendous economic pressure makes it less practical to raise a pet for a common family and there is less time to take good care of the pet. To be more specific, average citizens are constantly on the path to accomplish their professional assignments and the increasing prices of daily commodities and anything else will exert a heavier pressure on them than before. Thus, to deal with their occupational tasks more efficiently, citizens are supposed to bury their heads in their offices, leaving no time to take other things into account. What an ordinary citizen has to engage in their everyday life can reveal the hardship and the deficiency of leisure time. My friend serves as a software engineer, with higher paycheck than other careers as a whole, however, he always turns to me to complain how occupied he is and it inclines to be impossible to do what favors him, like going on a trip or raising a pet. Except for that, the necessity of paying back the house and car loans confine him in the plan of his future career promotion since he dreams to be a painter since his childhood. The reality lashes his dream, necessitating his fully concentration on his current profession. Obviously, the society has thwarted people in many areas.

　　For another thing, raising pets will pose a potential threat to the physical health of people, especially the younger and older. More specifically, pets that could carry the possible bacterium and virus will infect children, especially infants owing to the less maturity of physical conditions that leads to the less mature immunity system. A happening example may demonstrate my standpoint that epidemic virus called Zika has caused massive damage and panic among the general public and even the local government has issued an urgent policy to alert new couples not to get pregnant. The virus cannot disseminate between people, but, they can spread by the flying mosquitos that will carry virus after biting someone infected with Zika. Nowadays, there is no vaccine and effective way of treating the disease and the patients hit by the virus will show no apparent symptom just a common fever and headache, making it more difficult to judge whether the virus has appeared in some regions. By analogy, pets can be a virus carrier and endanger their hosts and others when their owners hang out with them. Obviously, raising the pets will increase the hardship of curbing the spread of virus once some rampant diseases erupt.

　　Admittedly, to some extent, raising pets can somehow create some benefits. While walking a pet, people can lead a different life from their normal workday. The increasing physical exercises can help avoid some common diseases that can occur to the middle such as high blood pressure and heart attack. It seems to be possible, however, it cannot be regarded a convincing reason to keep a pet. A growing number of citizens have become aware of the importance of keeping fitness and there will be a number of citizens who try to participate whatever kind of sports like playing basketball or going hiking. Thus, the health issue will be not a problem in the future coincident with constantly strengthened consciousness of keeping fit.
