To be or not to be that is the question

  We, human beings, have hugely depended on animals' sacrifices. For example, we consume a lot of animal's meat every day. Moreover, we use animals for medical experiment in order to create new medicine or get new useful information. In addition, sometimes, we hunt animals just for fun.
  Our standard of living has been retained by those countless different lives. However, some people have tried to challenge this long-lived traditional conventions. Their movements have gradually changed current the situations surrounding animals. For instance, some regulations on making foie gras have been set in order to protect ducks in various countries. They say that we can live without the animals' devotion. According to their assertion, we should eat crops, vegetables or fruits instead of the life. However, some ironic people criticize them on the ground that those apathetic things also have life.
  On the other hand, some people point out that we should take advantage of the benefits as long as we use them humbly.

Should we harm animals for our convenient livings?

                              or

Should we stop harming animals?

We would like to search and discuss this topic from now on.
