There is a lot of controversy regarding whether it is right or wrong to own pets. I don't just mean cats and dogs either, I'm referring to any animals that are kept as pets. Some people see it as a selfish act while others see it as a way of giving the pet love and care. What do you think? Personally I'm not sure, I can see reasons for it to be right but also for it to be wrong so my opinion is neutral.

I feed my dog healthy human food often and he is very healthy compared to others of his breed. He happens to love eating plain vegetables, meat, and fruit. It's funny when he wags his tail in anticipation when I chop up some plain raw broccoli haha! 
Couldn't imagine life without him, I can guarantee that if his day comes before mine I'll cry for days before settling down. It's hard to explain without sounding like a wuss honestly haha. Come to think of it my pet turtle may not be considered domesticated but I raised him from a tiny hatchling and he sure does have the personality of a domesticated animal. He has never shown one single sign of aggression since I began raising him and doesn't resist handling. He actually seems eager to be held and even knows how to ask for food! His species only grows 1inch per year but in the future when he becomes larger I plan on constructing a large pond to suite his preferred habitat.
