Here is my discussion text about the rainforest:

Should rainforests be cut down?

How would you like your house cut down? Deforestation is a big problem They should not be cut down! Here is why deforestation should not be allowed:

There are 30 million species of animals living in the rainforest; chopping them down could make them endangered or even extinct. With no food to eat, they have a smaller chance of surviving. On top of that, the trees give us oxygen and if they are chopped down, we will not be able to breathe properly.

However, we need land for more houses. Cutting the trees will increase the chance of taking people off the streets but reduce the chance of animals like butterflies, frogs and toads, toucans, jaguars, sloths and parrots having a home.

Some people think that zoos are best for the animals, but they are best in there natural habitat. They can get stressed and agitated with people looking at them all day.

So are you for or against this argument?
