Some people think people can exploit animals for any purpose they need, while others do not

think
so. What is your opinion?
The discussion about whether or not animals should be used for the benefit of humans is a very
debatable one. Some individuals are of the opinion that we can exploit animals for our benefit.
Others hold the opposite view. It is necessary to look at both sides of the argument before forming
an opinion.

Animals have always been used by humans in many different ways, for example, as food, for work,
and in research. Using animals for food reflects what happens throughout the animal kingdom
where carnivorous, or meat-eating, animals kill other animals for food. Humans have achieved
dominance over animals and are able to use them to work, for example in the fields or to pull carts
and other transport. Animals undoub
tedly suffer during medical research, but this research may prevent humans from suffering in the
future.
Many people, however, argue that it is wrong to cause suffering to animals for the benefit of
humans. Meat is not a necessary part of our diet, and there are many healthy vegetarians around the
world who prove this. Technology has largely replaced the use of animals in the fields and for
transport. Research carried out on animals is often not valid for human cases as an animal's
reactions may be very different from those of a human. There are useful alternative forms of
research available now, such as the use of tissue cell cultures. More and more people are unhappy to
cause suffering to animals if there is an alternative.
Conclusion 1
In my opinion, though, it is necessary to use animals for the benefit of humans.
Through their use, the quality of life for humans can be improved, and this is more important than
the quality of life for animals.
Conclusion 2
In conclusion, I believe that animals should not be used for human gain. It is
time to concentrate resources on developing alternative sources of food and methods of research,
and allow animals a pain-free existence.

Conclusion:

Far too little has been done to prevent animals and plants from dying out, although people have
been aware of this problem for a long time. Why do people do so little about it? Give your
suggestions on how to solve this problem.
It is irrefutable that people know about the endangered animal and plant species but dont take
enough efforts to save them. In the following paragraphs I shall discuss the reasons why people are
so indifferent towards this problem and suggest some ways forward.
There are many reasons why people are doing so little about it. Firstly, people nowadays are very
busy coping with the pace of the 24/7 society that this global village is offering. They are running
mad in the rat race of material comforts and working hard to achieve them. They have become
victims of this consumerist society and as a consequence, have become workaholics. They dont
have time to care about animals and plants. They dont even know that their luxuries are at the cost
of animal and plant life.

Furthermore, they are unaware about the consequences of the extinction of animal and plant
species. For instance, they dont know that if the ecological chain is disturbed, it has an impact on
them only in the long run. For example, there are many bat species that are becoming extinct. Such
bats help keep the insect population in control. If these bats die then the insects will increase a lot
and destroy our crops. So, we will have nothing to eat. In addition, many animals, like rodents, help
in the dispersal of plant seeds and in the pollination of plants. Some of these plants are important for
medical research and the development of medicines.
The solutions need to be implemented on a war footing. There should be increased awareness about
consequences of this phenomenon. Secondly, with funding, biologists and naturalists can use their
years of knowledge to help in the breeding of various animal species. Furthermore, since people are
often responsible for habitat destruction, it is only right that they use some resources to help
preserve whatever important wildlife habitats are left. Trees should not be cut for housing and
furniture. Instead, high rise buildings should be made and aluminium doors and windows should be
used.

Summing up, people should be made aware of the consequences of animal and plant extinction and
active steps should be taken to preserve these species.

Conclusions:

Some people think that using animals for experimentation purpose is cruel, but other people think
that is necessary for the development of science. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Animal experimentation has been a debated issue for many decades. Some people believe that
scientists locking up animals in a laboratory environment is not what nature intended and they are
probably right. Others believe laboratory animals perform a great service for humankind.
For many years now, scientists have been working hard to develop cures for diseases.From time to
time, new medicines and drugs are created which may be a solution to a serious illness affecting
mankind. In order to determine if there is any level of danger in these drugs, these are first tested on
animals. For example, who has not heard of the Thalidomide case? In 1952, a drug was used for
vomiting of pregnancy. Obviously, it was not tested properly. All the children born had seal-like
limbs. By the time it was known that thalidomide was responsible, it was too late and much harm
had been done.

Another reason for justification of animal experimentation is that the life span of guinea pigs used
for experimentation is very small, only 3-4 years and so the effect of drugs can be tested over
generations. Even if humans volunteered for testing, it would not help to test whether the effect
passed from one generation to the other.
The arguments against animal experimentation are that animals are also sentient beings and we have
no right to exploit them for our selfish motives. Secondly, they are very different from humans and
so what is tested on animals cannot be applied to humans. Finally, unnecessary experiments are
done just for new cosmetics which are not even needed, which is bad.
Summing up, animals are not humans. Although the life of animals in a lab is regrettable, I much
prefer a guinea pig to die than a human being. The human need must always come first. It is sad that

any living thing must suffer but the use of laboratory animals in testing new products made today
goes a long way toward helping humankind enjoy a better tomorrow.

Conclusion: Animal experimentation is justified

Wild animals have no place in the 21st century, and the protection is a waste of resources. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
I disagree with the notion that wild animals are redundant in the current century and therefore we
need not waste our precious resources in protecting them. I believe that the conservation of these
species should be our top priority as they are our most precious resources. A number of arguments
surround my opinion.
The most important reason for saving wild animals is that they are part of our ecosystem. Every
species of wildlife plays a role to maintain the balance of life on Earth. Thus, the loss of any species
can affect us directly or indirectly. Let us consider species to be like a brick in the foundation of a
building. We can probably lose one or two or a dozen bricks and still have a standing house. But by
the time we have lost 20 per cent of species, we are going to destabilize the entire structure. That's
the way ecosystems work.

Secondly, wild animals provide many valuable substances such as medicine and fur. The horn of the
rhinoceros has medicinal value and the fur of the mink is very valuable. The recreational viewing of
animals at zoos is also a source of revenue. Thus, the financial value of wild species is important to
the economies of many nations.
Finally, wild animals have aesthetic appeal. They are beautiful creatures of nature and are a part of
our bio-diversity. Their beautiful and mysterious life has enchanted mankind since the dawn of
evolution. Scientists have been awed by observing their behavior. Such study has helped scientists
understand how the human body functions and why people behave as they do. Scientists have also
gained medical knowledge by studying the effect of many drugs on these animals.

In conclusion, the protection of wild animals in the 21st century is by no means a waste of
resources. In fact it should be the most important global priority today. I pen down by a quotation
Scientists know we must protect species because they are working parts of our life-support
system.
