Band 5+: Some countries have laws that prohibit animals being used in circuses or other forms of entertainment because it is cruel to keep animals in an environment that can cause them stress. Should all countries have laws to prevent animals being used in circuses and similar forms of entertainment?

Animals’ usage by human species has been a part of most of the cultures of planet earth since ancient times. However, recently a group of nations have prohibited animals being part of the circus or similar enjoyment activities. This has been done in the hopes of reducing animal cruelty and stressful situations. This practice should be adopted by all other countries as well and this following discussions will delve into the reasons for this belief.

Primarily, with the advancement of research, it has been found that animals are capable of many emotions just like humans. When they are made to work in exhausting conditions they feel pain and being burdened as much as people as well. With people awakening to this new knowledge, individuals have been trying their best to not disturb animals and keep away from their natural habitats. This can be seen from the protests being held against new residential colonies, malls or airports being built. So when everyone is going to this extent to help wildlife, they certainly do not want them to be caged and be used by human society for their own pleasure.

Additionally, with natural habitats being destroyed to use wildlife as employees, it disturbs the balance in food chain, because wild creatures are unable to perform the duties assigned to them by the nature. In this situation, humans also suffer from diseases that develop due to this disturbance. For example, once a famous scientist said that if all bees go extinct, all human race will also perish within 3 years. So authorities of all countries of all human inhabited continents need to make laws from protecting the fauna to keep the natural processes working smoothly.

Conclusively, continental domains that still lack in protecting wilderness should do so urgently. This has to be done to protect the animals’ emotions and mental state in life threating and unsafe circuses and zoos. Protecting food chain process and reducing human interference while doing so will result in humans not being sick and keep other living beings flourishing.
