Persuasive Writing - Why we shouldn't have pets!

We have been working on a piece of persuasive writing. We got to choose if we wanted to write for pets or not for pets. I chose to argue agents pets. Here is a piece of my writing.

I don’t necessary believe that we shouldn’t have pets.
Title
A Short Statement about the topic.
eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’

I am Against Pets



Overview/ Statement of position
A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.

I strongly believe that having pets is a really bad idea.







Series of Arguments
Reasons
Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments.

Remember
-argument
-supporting detail, reasons, examples


Primarily, pets can be dangerous! I am against Pets because they can be well behaved and then they can just attack you. I would be scared. For example, dogs can be vicious. This is dangerous . We need to do something about. Sometimes Kids can pat dogs and then they can take the poor child’s hand off! Another example is, my mother was walking along the footpath one day and a dog shot out of the house and bit her on the leg.

Secondly,pets make a mess! They can rip sheets and do their business on the carpet or in the house. I am certain that you don’t like coming home to torn up pillows and broken furniture. I know that puppies are cute but they make  a mess. We should keep pets outside or under a shelter outside! Or even better don't have pets at all.




Thirdly, they cost a fortune to look after. They need food and they need a kennel  and they need TLC. TLC cost a lot of time and money. Kennels can costs up to 100 dollars but small kennels can cost about 90 dollar .Also big kennels cost around 200 dollars!!!! I would not want  to spend that much money. Some people love their animals so much they take them to have their feet massaged and pedicures.I understand if they are sore but sometimes they do it to make them look good. What a ridiculous thing to spend money on!
Finally, they take a lot of time to look after. Dogs especially are energetic and I am certain that pets would want to go for a run or a play with the owner at least once a day. Pets are energetic animals and they need to go for a run every morning and night. Also sometimes owners think they can fit time for a play and a run with a pet but they don’t have time sometimes and that's bad. It's better not to have a pet because they take a lot of time.

Concluding statement
Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.

In conclusion, I think that people shouldn’t have pets because pets can be dangerous, pets can make a mess,  and they can cost a lot of money. Also they take a lot of time. I don’t believe that people should have pets!
