Actually, they can. Remember, I am not arguing it is allway's harmful, I am arguing it is not allway's useful. Now, sopose a car is coming across the road, if you are under presure, you may fall over, and become unfocased, however, if you are not, you won't, and will dodge the car in time.
Another example is education, most people do better when not under presure.
Now please look at the debate topic.
Having a dog being apart the family isn't a very good idea. Pet's could not use the right's anyway.
Should we give them their own banks? No. They can't use them, they are better off when we pay for them.
Give me one good reason why they shouldn't be part of the family besides not doing certain things that we can do.
You say this because you know I have a very good reason.
Also keep in mind that a pet can protect your house from intruders and protects your family and the pet looks after you and your family. So if that doesnt sound like a family member, I dont know what does.
That is not being a part of the family. Some pet's attack anyone if you are intrested. If someone next door decides to protect you, is he a family member?
Now, it is you who has to explain. Why should dogs be legally treated as a part of a family? They do not need to be a part of a family to be treated well. If you wan't to sell a dog to someone else because you don't like it, what do you do? It is illegal to sell family members. So if you supourt this view, then animals should be wild.
Yes it is. Animals can't think like us, they can't use the rights.
Also, before you say 'yes, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't have respect' you must remember that the topic is about wherever or not pets should be treated as a part of the family.
And interestingly enough, pet's aren't so Innocent.
