There are many extinct animals’ species in the world. Some people think we should protect animals from dying out, while others believe we should spend more time on problems of human beings. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

A highly controversial issue relates to whether to have animal protection reinforced or not. In
this
essay, I am going to examine
this
question from both points of view and
then
explain why I believe the arguments for animal defence is stronger. It is commonly believed the benefits of animal protection considerably outweigh its disadvantages. The main reason for believing
this
is that thousands of animals have been dying around the world, which includes domestic and wild ones, in the
last
decades. It is
also
possible to say that animals
such
as human beings have rights for surviving in good conditions. To illustrate, there are several organizations as Greenpeace, WWF and suchlike, which combat thousands of whale hunters yearly that look for them in order to sale their skin to the black market.
On the other hand
, it is thought by some that protecting animals is only a matter of wasting people's money. It is often argued that despite the money come from humans it is not used for their purposes. They have
this
opinion because by using
this
money to help animals will not bring about any benefits for humans at all. A
second
point is that animals are not important for human development but entertainment. A good example here is the Zoo, which is considered a hub for bringing together people owing to get to know different types of animals. In conclusion, I believe that both arguments have their own merits. On balance,
however
, I feel that animals should be protected at any cost since they are living beings; as a consequence, they own the same rights as humans so they need an exclusive defence since they can not do it for themselves.
