In Canada you can find dogs, cats, homes etc, in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and regard them as their good friends. Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them needles so that they won' t cant diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people's homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a hint feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They're free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a ear, people would be very sad about it.
