Most British households keep some kind of pet. ‘The most popular pets are dogs and cats; there are over 7 million dogs in the UK, which make them the top British pet. Famously, the Queen, Elizabeth Il, has her own pet dogs, a number of corgis, who often accompany her fon her travels. Other popular pets which are easy to keep in the home are rabbits, hamsters, mice, gerbils, tropical fish, budgerigars and small turtles. However, some people keep more unusual pets like snakes, spiders, chameleons and other types of reptiles and insects! Households with gardens or an area of land can keep larger animals like ponies, donkeys or horses. Most children love animals.The responsibility of owning pet can be of great benefit to a child; it can help them to learn the responsibility of animal welfare, teach lessons in life cnd help them to nurture a respect for life. Pets are so popular and so much part of the family that more than a fifth of British pet owners admit to buying Christmas and birthday presents for their furry friends. British pet owners spend nearly £3.5 billion a year on their animals. Of course, looking after pets properly is a very important aspect of keeping a pet. Just like human beings, animals have their rights and there are organisations to help protect animals from abuse and cruelty, for example the RSPCA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty ‘to Animals).

Battersea Dogs’ Home Is another famous institution that has been protecting abandoned and mistreated dogs in its London home since 1871 (www.dogshome.org). Many parts of the UK are farming areas and farmyords are a traditional aspect of British culture. Cows, sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, chickens and geese are all common domestic farmyard animals. Nevertheless, eighty percent of people in the UK live in urban areas with a population of over 10,000 and consequently some children only see ‘animals rarely Nowadays, however, there are farmyards that are open to the public, where families from the cities can take their children to see the animals and learn ‘about farms. These farms have often been created to promote organic food and to promote the protection ‘and well-being of animals as well as wider environmental issues. Visiting wildlife parks is also very popular with both children and adults. They are different to 200s. Zoos Usually keep the animals in more confined spaces or cages. Although the animals are well looked after, their environment is not as natural as that offered by the larger open spaces of the wildlife park. You can often drive through wildlife parks in your vehicle and see the animals, as if you were on safari! You mustn't get out of the vehicle or open the window, of course, as some ‘animals, lke lions, are very dangerous! Point out to pupils that because so many people love
