SPEAKING EXERCISE - QUESTIONS ON ANIMAL RIGHTS

Discuss the following statements.

1. Animals have the same rights as humans.
2. Vegetarians shouldn’t wear leather shoes, buy leather handbags, and wear fur coats.
3. Other animals eat each other so why shouldn’t we eat animals? We’re animals too after all.
4. Animals should not be exported: they often stay on board trucks for days at a time, sometimes stuck under the burning sun or in the freezing cold, and nobody even bothers to feed them or give them some water.
5. Through urbanisation, people have become too distanced from animals and thus over-sentimental about them. Hunting used to be necessary for survival, now it is a legitimate form of pest control, and anyway it’s an excellent sport.
6. It’s better that animals suffer than humans. The list of things that have been achieved through experiments with animals is almost endless: blood transfusions, vaccines, insulin, cancer drugs, organ transplants, the contraceptive pill, treatments for mental illnesses, intensive care for premature babies.
7. Animals don’t feel pain like we do.
