my second debate

my second debate is that chooks are better than cats

Good afternoon parents, carers, teachers,

 And, of course, our fellow Students, as you know, we are debating whether Chooks are better than cats. Being on the affirmative team, we believe that this Topic is true and should be taken into account.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have looked on the positives and negatives of cats and chooks, we took it into account and figured that chooks are much preferred than cats. Being the second speaker, I will be talking to you about My grandparents’ cat. it moults, rips up their carpet, climbs on their flyscreen and doesn’t thank you for feeding and caring for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will also be talking to you about chooks and how you only have to feed it weekly, easy to get someone to feed it while you’re on holidays, don’t get as attached to a chook as you would a cat so when it dies you won’t feel as sad and how they make a fairly good house alarm if you have an intruder or a robber in the garden.

 

 

 

You can’t say much good things about cats, well you could say that cats are better because they’re fluffier and cuddlier and better to play with that’s it. You know, you could say a lot of things that are good for cats but you can’t say why. You need to tell people why, otherwise it doesn’t make sense, there are many things saying that cats are bad and explaining why for example.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My grandparents have a black cat at their house.  Instead of meowing and sitting next to a door when it wants to go outside, It uses actions rather than noises, so when the cat wants to go outside, it goes right along the hallway and tears up the carpet for as long as it has to Until it gets let out,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When it wants to come in, it climbs up the flyscreen tearing holes in it. It also leaves its fur on the carpet and furniture when it moults, it will moult all around the house and there will be cat hair everywhere. It is much less trouble to feed chooks because you only need to fill up their food and water containers once a week, whereas you have to feed cats twice a day, and wash out their food bowl.

 

 

 

 

Chooks are a lot less fussy when it comes to dinnertime, they are happy to eat your leftover fruit and vegetable peelings and other food scraps. With cats, of course, you have to buy separate food because they would find our food revolting and would never eat it.

 

 

 

It is easy to find someone that would be looking forward to looking after the chooks while you’re away because they would get the eggs, everyone is tempted by free food,

 

 

but, if you want someone to feed a cat while you’re away, they wouldn’t say yes as much because there’s nothing to look forward to.

When cats go to the toilet it will mean that you can’t grow a plant there ever again.

 

 

 

It will cause trees and plants to die and never come back which could become crucial to our living existence. We need to be careful with our land and don’t want it to become any worse, if we keep polluting the earth then eventually there will be an extinction of all human existence.





Also chooks are far cheaper than cats, all you have to do is feed them with your old food scraps. Whereas Cats need food of their own, getting nueted, worming, vaccination and paying for reparing the things that they break.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cats Never greet you when you come back from shopping, they will never thank you for buying their favourite cat food for them, they don’t thank you for anything you would do for them and can’t be bothered to notice you.

 

 

 

I believe, my team believes, hopefully you will believe, that Chooks are officially better than cats.

Thank you

 

 

 

 

My Debating Life!

I decided to join the debating team for our school,
it's really great, we come in after school every tuesday
to get given what our debates' topic is, the next week we 
debate it with other schools, so far we've lost every 
debate, we are really bad at getting them to be the right 
time, anyway here is my debate zoos should be banned!

Good afternoon chairperson timekeeper and adjudicator,

Today’s topic that we are debating is zoos should be banned,

By zoos we mean animals that are being distressed and annoyed by humans in an enclosed space,

 

 

I will be talking to you about how animals hate small spaces and can get very annoyed by humans, My second speaker Harry will be talking to you about how animals have no freedom in cages and never see their family, My third speaker will be summing up the debate, he will be re-enacting what we are about to state just now,

 

 

Lots of animals that live in the zoo can’t be introduced to their natural environment, What about those camels from the desert, they would be freezing, especially with those air conditioners in the cages to cool them down even more.

 

 

 

Even animals in captivity are gradually phasing out, for example the circuses, cirque de soleil, one of the most famous circuses of all time, now have no animals, I’ll tell you why, because the RSPCA believes that making animals do silly tricks to impress an audience is definitely cruelty to animals,

 

 

 

You know even taking animals to the zoo can be cruel, listen to this story I’ve got to tell you about the Asian elephants, the elephants that were coming to Taronga zoo sat in quarantine for twenty months, how long is that? Nearly two years, after that they went on a plane all the way to Australia,

 

 

can you imagine that, these elephants would be getting airsick all over the plane in this really small space where humans are supposed  to be sat to maybe go to other countries! Then they had three months in quarantine before going to the zoos, think of all that hard work to eventually bring the elephants to a place where they don’t want to be.




 

 We believe that having zoos around Australia is a really bad idea and we should just animals be free and do whatever they want,

Those are just a few of the reasons why zoos should be banned, listen to my second speaker for more details,

Thank you

 isn't it good?
