Ex. 8. Read the blogs and say if you are an animal person or not.
I’m not just an animal person
I have nothing against animals in general and I really enjoy wildlife programmes on TV. Working animals like guide dogs are very important, of course, but I can’t see the point of keeping pets. To me, they just make a mess and cost you a lot of money. And some pet owners treat their animals like children, dressing them up and feeding them the best meat or fish. It’s just crazy! What really gets me is when people set up a blog ‘written’ by their dog or cat. Why do they pretend that an animal has opinions to share with the rest of the world? As I see it, if you want to communicate, talk to a person, not a pet.
