         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>1. Value Judgment <br></strong>Ans) Experimenting on animals is always unacceptable because it causes suffering to animals the benefits to human beings are not proven. Any benefits to human beings that animal testing does provide could be produced in other ways.<strong><br>2. Fact<br></strong>Ans) There are three known species of monk seal, all of which were thought to belong to the genus Monachus: the Hawaiian, Mediterranean, and Caribbean. The latter went extinct in the 1950s due to hurting and other causes related to humans.<strong> <br>3. Prediction <br>4. Opinion <br></strong>Ans)&nbsp; Yes I do think that people can enjoy a non meat diet. I myself am a vegetarian and have received the nutrition I need. One might claim that meat products such as chicken and fish provide a lot of protein, however there are non meat options that provide a good amount of protein as well such as pulses and sprouts. Moreover, in the long run, excess meat consumption can lead to heart failure risk and cancer. Sources also say that the excess protein meat provides isn’t good for the body, thus several athletes such as Virat Kohli and Serena Williams have turned vegan and have claimed that there has been an increase in their fitness level. Many people argue that meat is extremely delicious. However, there are several vegetarian options which are very tasty as well and from my experience, one doesn’t know what he’s missing if he doesn’t have meat.<br><strong>5. Fact </strong><br>Ans) The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of the world ocean basins. Covering approximately 63 million square miles and containing more than half of the free water on Earth, the Pacific is by far the largest of the world's ocean basins. <br><strong>6. Opinion <br></strong>Ans) According to me, one must avoid the usage of fur coats as it is made from skin on animals by slaughtering. This is in a way, cruelty and injustice.<strong><br>7. Prediction <br></strong>Ans) 8. 90 percent of all large predatory fish– including tuna, sharks, swordfish, grouper (above), cod and halibut – are gone. If over fishing continues, more species will be driven to extinction and aquatic ecosystems will collapse.<strong><br>8. Opinion <br></strong>Ans)Some animals can be more important than others as some may have different uses to us humans and could help with the development of products made by the animal itself, but all animals should be treated the same because they are what hold our ecosystem stable. Extinctions of animals would help with the destruction of ecosystems.<strong><br></strong><br></div>]]></description>
