A: what do you think of the way people use and treat animals?

B: I think most people treat animals well, but we are often cruel to animals. When we raise animals or food, the conditions they live in are often poor.

A: Perhaps people should stop eating animals. We could grow more crops.

B: What would you do with all the animas? You couldn’t just let them go. Besides, some people would still hunt them. Meat has become an integral part of our diet.

A: We could provide them with better conditions anyway. We should certainly try to improve the conditions at zoos. We should try to recreate the natural conditions as much as possible.

B: That’s true. I think zoo are a good idea, because they allow people to get close to animals. I think it’s good for kids to see wild animals.

A: I agree. I’m an adult and I love going to the zoo. I don’t like animals experiments though. I believe that we can do tests in other ways.

B: I read that the number of animals being used in experiments is falling dramatically as new techniques are being introduced.

A: That’s good news. The good thing is that most people treat their  pet  well.

B: Sometimes you read about people who have been cruel to pets or other animals, but those stories are rare.

A: Have you every given money to any of the charities that take care of animals.

B: Yes, I have. They do an excellent job.
