What do you think of the way people use and treat animals?
I think most people treat animals well, but we are often cruel to animals. When we raise animals for food, the conditions they live in are often poor.
Perhaps people should stop eating animals. We could grow more crops.
What would you do with all the animals? You couldn't just let them go. Besides, some people would still hunt them. Meat has become an integral part of our diet.
We could provide them with better conditions anyway. We should certainly try to improve the conditions at zoos. We should try to recreate the natural conditions as much as possible.
That's true. I think it is a good idea, because zoos allow people to get close to animals. I think it's good for kids to see wild animals.
I agree. I'm an adult and I love going to the zoo. I don't like animals experiments though. I believe that we can do tests in other ways.
I read that the number of animals being used in experiments is falling dramatically as new techniques are being introduced.
That's good news. The good thing is that most people treat their pets well.
Sometimes you read about people who have been cruel to pets or other animals, but those stories are rare.
Have you every given money to any of the charities that take care of animals.
Yes, I have. They do an excellent job.
