I believe that the law of buying a pet at a certain age, such as not allowing children under the age of 12 to own a pet in the UK, is a necessary measure to ensure the well-being and safety of both the pet and the child. Young children may not have the maturity or responsibility required to properly care for a pet, and this can lead to neglect or even harm to the animal.

By setting a minimum age limit for pet ownership, we can help prevent impulsive decisions and ensure that pets are placed in homes where they will receive the proper care and attention they need. It also allows children to develop the necessary skills and understanding of pet care before taking on the responsibility of owning a pet.

Overall, I support laws that promote responsible pet ownership and prioritize the welfare of animals.
