Some people regard eating meat as completely wrong. To what extent do you agree?

Meat
consumption
is seen by some as undebatable wrongdoing, which needs to be changed in favour of a vegetarian diet. I firmly agree with the stated viewpoint as I believe in the ethical standpoint that
animals
shouldn't be killed.
Furthermore
, the end of
meat
consumption
would help the ecosystem. In
this
essay, I will try to explain my point of view.
First
of all, the main argument, for why eating
meat
is wrong, is animal rights. Take
for example
, on daily basis loads of
animals
are bred and grown up only to be used as
meat
.
Therefore
, the animal has neither dignity nor any joy in life and is doomed to die in order to serve our tables.
This
situation
subsequently
gives the grave question of whether our lives matter more than those of
animals
who cannot defend themselves.
On the other hand
, the choice of vegetarianism would make
this
discussion obsolete, since they find animal life as valuable as humans.
Moreover
,
meat
consumption
is harming countries with famines.
This
is due to the fact that the liquid used for
animals
could be used to water many fertile grounds and grow plenty of edible plants
instead
. Let us consider the liquid from the animal farm which provides one hundred people with food (let us hypothetically suppose that they get all the calories from
meat
) was
instead
used to water the plantation that with the same amount of water could provide approximately 160 people with the needed daily norm of calories.
Hence
, the global focus on plant-eating would result in fewer people suffering from famines across the world. To conclude,
meat
consumption
is wrong not only on an ethical level that argues that
animals
shouldn't face death because of us.
Besides
, eating as a vegetarian could provide more food overall, resulting in fewer famines.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
