Here is my essay that I wrote it in two version a bit long one and short one. 

Some people feel that too much attention is paid to and too much money is spent on keeping pets while people throughout the world are starving. Discuss the arguments for and against keeping pets.

It is quite common to see that some people spend a huge amount of money on raising pets. While many people are suffering from starvation, I honestly think that such costs are unnecessary.

The major reason that some people tend to keep domestic animals probably is because of the sense of loneliness. In such fast-paced lifestyle that individuals have no time to each other, it seems that cats and dogs can be a good companion. Individuals try to spend their time with pets instead of other people who probably are so much busy that cannot share their time with them. Furthermore, it is said that raising pets is also benefit for the health of human.  There is evidence that raising up and stroking pets can reduce the blood pressure and stress.

However, on the one hand, there has been always immoderation in taking care of domestic animals. Many people waste a huge amount of money on raising up pets. To them, it seems that keeping animals is to show their affluence. Every year we can see that many exhibitions hold to show animals dressing up and new models of animal hairs. When it comes to animal clinic and veterinary medicine it is worse. Pet owners should check their animals regularly. Nor do we give up the shared diseases between animals and human. They are really cause serious diseases that squander millions of pounds every year to cure. On the other hand, these sums of money can spent on starvation, which many people are struggling with it in all around the world.

To sum up, I think it is very likely that owners of pet squander a lot of money on keeping their animals. This money can go to address some problems such as poverty and starvation to help to lift disadvantaged people out of starvation.
