Animals are very important part of human's life. Thay are source of our food, they helped us in our farms, they are our friends and enemies. People needed them so much that we even domesticated some of them. We have got a lot of similarites. We need each other to survive, we are all gregorious creatures.
On the beginning the animals were the aim of the hunters. They were very strong and dangerous. But even then , in ancient times there were some species which were helpful for people. We kept them in a homesteads and after some time they got used to the people's presence so much that they are not able to live without human's help. We feed our animals, give them shelter and take care of them. This domesticated animals are pigs, cows, sheep, goats, chicks, horses.
Domesticated animals became our food. Unfortunately, we keep those animals mostly for meat. Nowadays, it is really cruel because human beings created large stables were those animals are kept in very bad conditions to be killed. People are feeding them with special kind of food to make them fat but not healthy. That is the reason why there is more and more vegetarians in the world. Those people refuse to eat meat because they feel sorry for animals which are killed in a terrible conditions. This is one of the impact that animals have on our lifes.
From ancient times animals helpped people to move from one place to onother. People are small and weak and animals are very strong and much bigger. Horses, mules, camels, elephants were used to carry things for people. They are much more resistant so people were using them as means of transport. Nowadays animals are no longer used in such way. They are used in recreation. The best examples are horses. There is nothing better than ride on a horse back through the forest. Thanks to the animals people were able to move and that helpped in our development. Now, we have got cars, buses, plains, trains, underground, ships, etc.
Animals have got one more function. Those which were able to get used to people very much are called pets. This animals live with people in their houses, are their friends and even the members of family. The best example is dog. It is the most faithful and friendly animal. It is said that the dog is people's best friend. But there are also other pets like: cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters, mouses, birds, snakes, etc. there is really a lot of them. People keep them in their homes to have company. They walk them out, talk with them, even sleep with them. Very often we can see dogs which are dressed up or that had their hairs cut. It was proved that stroking and petting animals help people to relax, there are less allergies when there is a pet at your house and people are healthier because they need to go out with them.
Animals are very important for human beings. Their impact on our life was great and it is hard to say what would happen to us without their help. On the other hand people are harming animals very much. There are many species which are just about to extinct and those who have already extincted because of pollution and poachers. We should help animals to survive as they helpped us.
