The idea of children's pet ownership is a debate the first side of which advises that doing so had better be generalized to every single child no matter what his or her situation is; however, the second side insists on considering the factors required for children.

The idea of children's pet ownership is a debate the first side of which advises that doing so had better be generalized to every single child no matter what his or her situation is; however, the second side insists on considering the factors required for children. While the latter seems to be more logical, both points of view will be discussed as follows.
