Первый, третий, пятый и шестой аргументы

I don't think you should kill animals for fur. First of all, in the principles to think that every life is priceless, above all and inhumane to kill animals, if a person is able to create synthetic fur. Think about it, if people were skinned?

Я считаю, что не нужно убивать животных ради меха. В первую очередь, в принципах думать, что каждая жизнь бесценна, превыше всего и бесчеловечно убивать животных, если человек способен создать синтетический мех. Подумайте сами, если бы с людей сдирали кожу?

Answer 2

Essay:

Killing animals for their fur is wrong. Not only is it cruel to keep animals in captivity for their entire lives just to kill them for their fur, but it is also unnecessary in the 21st century. With advancements in technology, we can now make man-made materials that are just as warm and attractive as animal fur, and at a much cheaper price.

My point of view is that it is unethical to kill animals for their fur. First of all, keeping animals in captivity for their entire lives is cruel and inhumane. Animals should be free to roam and live their lives as nature intended. Moreover, the conditions in which these animals are kept are often cramped, dirty, and completely devoid of any kind of natural environment. This leads to animals becoming stressed and agitated, which can result in aggressive behavior and even death.

Furthermore, above all, it is simply not necessary to kill animals for their fur. We have the technology and means to create man-made materials that are just as warm and attractive as animal fur. The use of these materials is not only more ethical but also much more cost-effective. The fur industry is a billion-dollar industry, and much of the money goes toward breeding and raising animals in captivity, which is completely unnecessary.

Some arguments that my opponents might use include the fact that animal fur is warmer and more attractive than man-made materials, and that wearing fur is natural since humans have been doing it for thousands of years. However, these arguments do not hold up under scrutiny. Firstly, man-made materials can now be just as warm and attractive as animal fur. Secondly, while wearing fur may have been natural in the past, we now live in a world where we have the means to create ethical and sustainable alternatives.

In conclusion, killing animals for their fur is wrong and unnecessary. It is cruel to keep animals in captivity for their entire lives, and it is not necessary to kill them for their fur. We now have the means to create man-made materials that are just as warm and attractive as animal fur, so there is no excuse for continuing this unethical practice.
