In Your Own Words(blog prompt)

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.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Today, I shall be talking to you about preventing cruelty to animals.

Sometimes, we must remember that even though animals are, well, animals, but they are also living, breathing creatures just like us humans. If you put yourself into their shoes, how do you think you will feel if someone cuts off one of your body parts just because it can be used as a medicinal ingredients? Moreover, the cruel people who do these type of things just throw the poor animals back to where they came from, slowly leaving them to die instead of ending their pain straightaway.

Another point: sometimes, the medicinal values of body parts of some animals may just be rumours. For example, the rhinoceros. It is rumoured that their horns have great medicinal value just because their horns have calcium inside them. If that is the case, why don't we pound up our nails and use them for medicinal purposes?

Thus, I would like to advise everyone: do not follow blindly just because someone says so or it MAY work. Think of the beautiful creatures that you will hurt. Thank you
