Possible version:
As to animals rights, differerent people have different ideas. Some hold the view that animals should have their own rights, while others don’t think so. But I think that animals should have their own rights.
First, just as human beings,they are living things. So they have right to live.
Second, they can provide food and fur for us. Besides, they can help keep the balance of nature. If one species die out, another one that lives on it would also extinct.
In a word, animals are very important to human beings, so they should have their own rights. And all of us should try out best to protect them and treat them as our friends.
