Topic: Should people stop using goods that are made from animals?

Points: Animal rights, Tradition

【解答例】

I don't think that we should stop using goods made from animals. I have several reasons for that. Some people may argue that animals have their right as we humans do so we should not take their lives. But, we cannot live unless we kill and eat them. And in order to make full use of their lives, we should be allowed to make goods such as bags and coats from their hides or fur. Second, there are a great variety of traditional ways of living in which people wear clothes made from animal hides and fur around the world. If those people stop wearing such traditional clothes, that means they have to give up their tradition. But, each of their traditions has a long history, so I think they should be respected. For these reasons, I think that we should be allowed to use goods made from animals.　(149 words)
