In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to
animal hospitals to give them injections(注射) so that they won't carry diseases. There are many special
animal food stores, though people can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend
around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people's houses, they will
be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every
family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcome to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against
killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to be hurt by a
car, people would be very sad about it.
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own lives. Then the old will
feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
