Humans
have
two
fundamental demands: spiritual and physical
life
. Both of them play a vital role in a balanced
life
. Raising
animals
is one of the ways of servicing those demands. Should
animals
be more important in spiritual
life
as a friend or in physical
life
as
food
? It has some arguments in
two
aspects. I suppose either of them is reasonable.
First
of all, all of us have to eat for a living and not all of us are vegetarians,
meat
is one of the most important foods for
humans
. The
food
supply to
life
from the
animals
comes from
such
as the marines, the birds or the cattle. And for the sustainable supplement,
humans
have raised the
animals
to get their eggs, their fur and most important their
meat
.
Animals
have been the sources of
food
for
people
in the world from the old days up to now and maybe in the far future until
humans
could find alternative
food
sources. Nowadays, the livestock industry is more intensively growing than ever.
For example
, Vietnam exported 40000 tons of poultry
meat
mainly chicken in 2020,
two
years following, the number has increased by nearly double.
Moreover
, based on the BBC, beef and pork are the
two
most consumed cattle
meat
worldwide.
On the other hand
, in terms of mental
life
,
humans
need
friends
for sharing emotions or spiritual support. Some
people
chose
animals
to be their
friends
, especially in modern
life
when the young generation wants to narrow their social networking and just stay alone. In
this
case,
animals
,
in particular
, dogs or cats, even birds or others, are chosen to be their
friends
for sharing the stories
,Remove the comma
show examples
and emotions in daily
life
. In some hospitals, the therapeutic treatment for patients had mental problems is using
animals
to cheer them up and help them to express their painful feeling. In these cases, the
animals
are used like
friends
who are not judging, not critical of your mistakes, or your past, just listening to your words.
Therefore
, it is not dubious that some
people
consider
animals
as a friend or a member of their family.
Opinion, I respect both ideas. It is based on the demand of each
people
, some want to eat
meat
so raising
animals
for a
food
supplement while some want to have
friends
for taking care of them or sharing their daily
life
, they can raise
animals
as a member of their family.
However
, I suggest just eating several kinds of familiar
animals
such
as pigs, cows, sheep or some poultry like chicken, and duck; some
animals
like dogs, cats are more popular and considered like human pets so eating them will cause an argument in terms of
animals
’ rights. In conclusion, eating
animals
is considered in the culture of the country or nation you are being.
