A growing number of people feel animals should not be exploited by people and that they should have the same rights as humans, while others argue that humans must employ animals to satisfy their various needs, including uses for food and research. Discuss both the views and give your opinion

#people #animals #rights #humans #food #research
There is no doubt that myriads of animals have been used by human beings for different purposes
such
 as for research, food and various other products. While some people believe that there is no harm in doing so, I would argue that
such
 exploitations against animals should be strictly forbidden and they should
also
 have the same right of independence as humans. On the one hand, people who believe in using animals and their by-products for various purposes might argue that it is the necessity because humans and machines are not fit for certain jobs, and
therefore
, using animals there to their full potential is mandatory.
For instance
, horses are used to carry carriages because currently we have not invented a machine which can efficiently do
such
 work.
Additionally
, manpower is completely unfit for
this
 job. To illustrate it
further
, rats are used for research of some medicines to see its effects on them because the probability of failing in
this
 scenario is more. If a medicine passes
this
 test, it is likely to work on humans.
Hence
, the use of some animals in some fields is inevitable.
On the other hand
, I opine that all living beings should be treated equally, whether humans or animals.
This
 is because each living organism has a particular role to play on the Earth, and if an external interference is done in
this
 natural process, it will disturb the whole cycle.
For example
, if a particular animal
such
 as a lion is killed for its skin, it will lead to the extension of these species, and
consequently
, the entire food chain will be disrupted, which will give rise to various problems
such
 as an increase in the number of some herbivorous animals, and ultimately there would be scarcity of foods and crops for human beings.
Hence
, it is best not to touch or exploit any living entity. In conclusion, while some think using animals in fields
such
 as research is indispensable as Science has not made
such
 progressions that it can be replaced by machines or other human beings, I firmly believe that touching natural habitat of animals can cause disturbances to the environment, and
therefore
 should be avoided.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
