In the modern world, it is no longer necessary to use animals as food or other products, such as medicines and clothing. Do you agree or disagree?

Bài mẫu 1:

The argument over the use of animals to provide food, medicine, and clothing has been ongoing for years. Some people consider the killing of animals to produce food and other products to be unnecessary. In my view, I agree with this idea and will discuss several compelling reasons in this essay. 

These days, we are faced with many public health challenges regarding poor health conditions, including cancer and heart disease, caused by excessive consumption of meat on a regular and long-term basis. Experts are calling for a change in human diets so that people can enjoy better health. Fortunately, many alternative meat products are available on the market. In fact, vegetarian diets are being favored by a growing number of people and can provide the same amount of nutrients for consumers. In particular, mushrooms and tofu contain high levels of protein, a kind of nutrient presumably only found in meat, and can therefore be used as a substitute. 

Furthermore, medical experiments on animals and medicines manufactured from 

animals’ body parts received little endorsement in the past. Nowadays, herbs and many other types of plant-based medicines, such as ginseng, can cure many diseases, prolong human life expectancy, and aid medical practitioners in the treatment of many illnesses. More seriously, thousands of wild animals, such as tigers and minks, are killed each year, with their fur taken to produce coats and accessories for the fashion industry. There are now similar products made from plants and artificial materials that can fulfill our needs. Animals do not have to suffer for our needs anymore. 

In conclusion, I think that our needs and desires do not justify the suffering of animals and animal products are no longer necessary. We can choose a different source of nourishment, medicine and clothing without any toll on wild animals.

The exploitation of animals has been an unavoidable aspect of human life for most of our history. We have raised and hunted animals for food, used their fur and skin for protection from the elements, and even used their body parts for their supposed medicinal benefits. However, as society advances we need to consider our effect on other living things, and it seems that we should try to limit or even eliminate our reliance on animal products.

Like all living things, humans need a source of food and protection from the surrounding environment. When we lived as hunter-gatherers and in early agricultural societies, animals were an essential part in our survival, providing us with protein and keeping us warm. Conversely, in a modern context there is minimal need for this. We can get adequate nutrition from vegetarian sources and food scientists are developing lab-grown meat that will soon be indistinguishable from real meat. When we add in the suffering that animals experience in factory farms or in battery cages and the devastating environmental effects of intensive farming, it seems extremely difficult to justify using animals for meat and clothing.

The other major use of animals has been in medicine. Before the advent of modern medical science, people relied on traditional doctors who often used various animal parts to allegedly cure different maladies. Nevertheless, we now live in a brighter world where we not only have better alternatives, but we can demonstrate that these traditional animal-derived treatments are absolutely ineffective. Users and promoters of these types of medicine highlight the worst aspects of human nature as their stubbornness and selfishness leads to the extinction of many of the most majestic animals that have ever walked the earth.

Broadly speaking, in a historical context, the use of animals as a food, clothing, and medicine seems understandable. However, in a supposedly enlightened modern society such practices highlight that many of us still think and act like we are nothing more than hairless apes. (329 words)
