https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa Year 8 will be undertaking a persuasive writing project this term about whether all animals are created equal. The stimulus for this topic is George Orwell's Animal Farm and was recommended by Kyle as a text/video that would be good to study. en-us 2017-11-01 14:51:55 UTC 2017-11-14 12:25:21 UTC hello@padlet.com dannyeduk https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/202538134 2017-11-01 14:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/202538134 dannyeduk https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/202838608 No, some get slaughtered and are born because people like to eat meat products (bacon, chicken, sausages).]]> 2017-11-02 11:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/202838608 dannyeduk https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/202839013 No, because some animals get eaten and some do not.

Also, animals are all involved in food chains and some are higher up in the food chain (tertiary consumer and top consumer) and some are lower down in the food chain (primary and secondary consumers).]]> 2017-11-02 11:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/202839952 dannyeduk https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/205724515 No, because some animals are domestic and some are wild.

- some animals are bred solely to be butchered and eaten.
- some animals are wild
- some are domesticated
- some are predators; others are prey

Although, I do think that animals should all be treated in a kind and caring way and that  when they are eventually slaughtered it should be done  in a way that minimises their pain.

Every animal is born with the potential to succeed. Natural selection decides whether the animal ends up as food or feeder. Animal farm gives the animals human feelings and characteristics so maybe the question should be "Are all humans created equal" ]]> 2017-11-13 08:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/206126738 https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/206140862 No I don't believe all animals are created equal. 

Firstly I don't believe that animals are "created". They have evolved over millions of years. Because of this animals are all different and have a different necessity on Earth. 

For example- bees are very important to pollinate the plants , however wasps (which look very similar) are just mean and want to sting you.

I also as a human being and being at the very top of the evolutionary ladder believe that different animals lives are more important. For example I would be happy to kill and eat a chicken but I would never kill and eat a dog. ]]> 2017-11-13 09:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/206140862 https://padlet.com/dannyeduk/s0tzgz9azwxa/wish/206184648
