In ancient times, there was no opposition to the exploitation of animals. But now many animal-right activists object to consumption of animals as sources of food and clothing. I would not go along with their viewpoint. It may be true that animal consumption poses threats to our lives. For instance, not only is the hunting of endangered species such as whaling blood-thirsty, it can also ruin the ecosystem. Since citizens are increasingly aware of the far-reaching impact of the extinction of endangered species, it is reasonable for the government to regulate the consumption of endangered species as food and clothing.
