I think it is good that many families keep animals　1.　pets. Unfortunately, some people do not take good care of their pets. Some do not feed their pets enough so they become　2.　. Others do not give their pets a good place to　3.　in and the animals can get too hot or too cold. There are also a few people who　4.　their pets. I feel this is wrong. People should not treat their pets badly.

The government of the UK is thinking of 　5.　to help protect pets – it’s about time! It wants a set of instructions on 　6.　 to take care of different kinds of animals. The instructions would　7.　 explain how to keep animals happy! That is good news for pets, don’t you think so?

The UK government also wants to create some 　8.　‘pet police(政策)’. They can go to people’s homes to check whether they are taking care of their pets　9.　. If they find someone treating an animal badly, they can take the animal　10.　. People who hurt their pets can even go to jail(監(jiān)獄). I hope more people will now try to take better care of their pets.
