A
pet is an animal that is kept (mostly by humans) for
companionship and enjoyment, as opposed to livestock,
which are kept for economic reasons. The most popular
are noted for their loyal or playful characteristics
or their attractive appearance or song.
The term "pet" may also be applied to humans,
usually in an endearing way by a lover, significant
other, or partner. Calling another person a pet, though,
can just as easily be considered an insult (see "plaything").
While in theory one could keep any animal as a pet,
in practice a small number of species of mammals,
especially dogs and cats, and other animals such as
birds have dominated the pet scene for a very long
time. Fish have joined them more recently. Many of
these are domesticated while others, are often considered
exotic pets such as reptiles.
The glofish, a genetically modified zebrafish with
a bright red fluorescent color is the first genetically
modified (GM) animal to be engineered as a pet.
Pets can provide their owners with many health benefits.
The keeping of pets has been shown to help remove
stress. Walking a dog can also provide its owner (as
well as the dog!) with exercise, fresh air, and the
opportunity for social interaction. |
