　　The Truth about Cloning Cats and Dogs

　　Cloning is always a controversial topic.Is it right to clone a pet cat or dog?

　　When I first read about the controversial topic of pet cloning, I was shocked by the topic that was published on the Internet.Such services would have consumers believe that to clone their pets is to extend time with a beloved friend.These merchants mislead pet lovers.In fact，it is not sure that pet cloning will result in an animal that has the same appearance or personality as the original animal.

　　Thus，it is done purely to further the purpose of reproduction through the cloning process，and not to find cures for diseases.It does not benefit animals or humans.Considering the millions of homeless cats and dogs each year，it is irresponsible (不负责的) of "clone your pet"companies to create more through cloning.The money that will be spent to create one animal would go a long way to help thousands of homeless dogs and cats to provide shelter.

When it comes to cloning animals for commercial purposes，the only benefit is the money made by cloning companies.Consumers wrongly believe that a loved one will be brought back to life，while millions of dogs and cats that have already been born naturally wait in shelters to be adopted.I hope that customers will do their own research on the topic，rather than falling for clever marketing.
