2B1 Opinion compositions
Dear students,
have a look at some good compositions that your classmates have written.
SHOULD DOGS BE BANNED IN CITIES?
The positive influence of pets, such as dogs, in human health and well-doing has been well recognized, but there are people in the cities that think that dogs are dirty and transmit diseases. Personally, I don’t think so.
Firstly, dogs are domestic animals. There are pets and in some cases, such as those that accompany blind people are essential for life. Besides, dogs work with humans, for example with the police, because they have some senses developed in a very effective way.
Secondly, the company of a pet is essential for people who live alone: they reduce the stress of their owners, reduce the feeling of loneliness and make their owners to be related to each other. However, veterinarians should advise for responsible ownership, as there are health risk in human-animal relationships.
To sum up, if there is health control, dogs are not dangerous for our health when they live with humans, and the city can be a natural environment for them because they are integrated into our lives, so they should not be banned in cities.

Nowadays, in my country, there are hundreds of dogs in all cities.
Some of them live in the street because they have had bad luck and they have been abandoned.
Unfairly, others have irresponsible owners that do not fulfill their obligations. However,most of them live with a person who take care of them or whom they look after. So..should dogs be banned in cities?. Personally, I don't think so.
Firstly, dogs are the most faithful animals and they keep company with the person who lives alone and they help old people not to feel depressed. Besides, they are very useful for blind people. If dogs were banned, blinds would lose their independence.
Secondly, they are, in many cases, as if they were another member of the family and it would be a
really familiar drama if dogs were banned.
To sum up, I think that people who leave their pets in the street should be punished, and the owners who do not pick up the excrements of the dogs should be fined, because they are the only responsible of their dogs.

In most cities today you can see many dogs walking in the street with their owners; dogs from different breeds such as golden retrieved, boxer, bulldog , foxterrier, etc. Personally I am afraid of dogs but the fact is that I understand people who like dogs.
Firstly, dogs are the best pets for everybody, especially for children and for old people because they can live together, sharing all the time in the same house. Besides, they are a good companion for lonely people. Therefore many psychologists recommend having one and keep it close .
Secondly, we cannot forget the work developed by dogs when they guide blind people. What is more, people who love dogs always say: “they will never leave you”.
To sum up, I am against banning dogs in cities because they can live in a house the same as people do and they need to walk in parks and in streets although they should be trained by their owners to avoid disturbing other people.

HUNTING AS A SPORT
Currently in Spain, hunting is legally considered a sport. Furthermore, even it has a Federation although, fortunatelly hunting is still not an olympic discipline. Personally, I am absolutely against sport hunting.
Firstly, sport hunting is not a sport. Generally speaking, the sport consists of a physical activity where you decide to participate and animals has not freedom to choose. Besides, sportsmanship means respecting the opponent. Animals are not respected but killed.
Secondly, sport hunting destroys ecosystems because the hunt leads to the extinction of the species. As a result it could be a serious problem for the planet.
Finally, although many people think that hunting can promote rural economy, there are other ways to do it without having to kill animals. For instance: hiking, climbing, canoeing, rural tourism, etc.
To sum up, I think sport hunting is a cruel activity whose goal is killing for fun.
Nuria Pérez
For centuries, men have been hunting animals as a means of survival. However, in recent years this activity has begun to be considered as a sport. Personally, I am totally against this fact.
Firstly, I cannot consider killing animals as a sport, as long as this practice causes the death of innocent and harmless animals. I think this is very cruel, unfair and unnecessary. These animals are not dangerous for the human race and they are totally defenseless.
Secondly, the majority of hunters do not kill for subsistence, as in prehistoric times, it is only a pleasure for them. What is more, in many cases, hunted animals are not consumed as food, they are only kept as trophies or awards for hunters.
Finally, I think this kind of fun promotes violence and the use of arms, that, in my opinion, it should be used in totally necessary cases, such as wars.
To sum up and as far as I see it, hunting as a sport should be made illegal always that involves death or suffering of an animal.

SHOULD ANIMALS BE USED IN MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS?
Nowadays, animals are used in medical experiments all over the world. Chimpanzees and rats are, perhaps, the most used, but there are many other animals, whose immune system is studied by men, that are used too.
Could man perform medical experiments without using animals? Personally, I don't think so.
Firstly, I believe that there is no way to test drugs before being administered to humans. Animals, such as the chimpazees, have got an immune system very similar to man's.
Secondly, laboratory animals, that are used for the experiments, are bred for this purpose. Besides, animal experiments not only serve to cure human diseases, but also they serve to know and eraticate diseases that affect other animals. In addition, they can prevent its appearance.
In conclusion, although it may seem cruel, if we want to know why certain illnesses appear and find a cure for them, we previously need to know how the illness has been originated and find a remedy for it, and we have to try this remedy in the laboratory with animals as a previous step towards using it with humans.
