B2 Essay

THE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS IN OUR WORLD TODAY

This is a complex question. Many people depend on animals to live, whether they eat meat or just keep a cow or a goat for its milk. This essay will consider farming, as well as discussing the role of zoos and endangered wildlife.

When zoos first opened, they had a real purpose – to educate people. There was no television and in this way people got to see wildlife from other places. Now we don’t have the same need for zoos and it is cruel to lock creatures up there. For this reason, all zoos should be closed in my opinion.

In terms of endangered wildlife, man is often to blame for the disappearance of species. Pollution from factories and cars causes severe problems. Some chemicals are being released into the environment, which are harmful to bees, for example.

As for agriculture, it is true that some farmers look after animals well, but many don’t care about the conditions that they live in. The best farmers give them plenty of space and fresh grass to eat.

To sum up, we could treat animals better without a doubt. We need to respect all living creatures.
