The Domestic Animals of Bangladesh
The animals that we keep in our houses for various purposes are called domestic animals. In Bangladesh, there are many domestic animals such as cows, goats, sheep, buffaloes, and horses. We also keep some pet animals like dogs and cats. Most of these animals are very useful to us in our daily life.
Among all domestic animals, the cow and buffalo are the most important. They are used for ploughing land and pulling carts, especially in rural areas. They also provide us with milk and meat. The goat and sheep are also very common and useful. They too give us milk and meat, and their skins are used to make leather products.
The horse is another domestic animal known for its strength and speed. Though not very common nowadays, it can carry people and goods from one place to another. Among pet animals, the dog is valued for guarding houses, especially at night. It protects us from thieves and strangers. The cat is also useful because it kills rats and harmful insects in our homes.
Unfortunately, the overall condition of domestic animals in Bangladesh is not very good. Many animals are weak, sick, or underfed. Only a few are properly looked after. Most animals do not get enough food, and many suffer from various diseases due to poor care. As a result, some even die early.
Domestic animals are a valuable asset to our country. We must take proper steps to improve their condition. We can do this by giving them enough food, clean water, medical treatment, and proper shelter. If we keep our animals healthy, they will serve us better and help improve our economy.
In conclusion, domestic animals play a vital role in our lives. So, we must take good care of them for the benefit of both the animals and ourselves.
