Blog prompt>>>>

Q:You are a student activist for animal preservation. You strongly believe animals should not be hunted for their body parts as medicinal ingredients.Draft a speech which you are going to make at a public forum on preventing cruelty to animals.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am making a speech on the cruelty to animals. Have you ever thought how it feels to have your arms chopped off and you have been thrown onto the streets to survive on your own? That is exactly what happens to sharks been hunted for shark's fin. Rhinos have been killed just to get their horns for medicine while its body goes to waste. Animals also do have feelings. Though they are not as intelligent, they are still living things. They do feel pain, do feel scared. Can you imagine ending your life full with fear and pain?

The Moon bear, is kept in cages so that their bile can be extracted. The bile is used as a Chinese medicine. The life of the bears are worst than death. They are unable to move about and they will lose their freedom forever. The last thing they would probably see would be the cages. In a crude way of extracting bile, the bears are forced to lie flat on the bottom of cage for more effective ‘milking’. Often a metal ‘crush’ forces the bears to remain in the flat position permanently, in some cases for years at a time.

I hope you could understand that animals need you to end their sufferings.
Thank you.
