Good afternoon everyone. Welcome to today's debate on the topic "Should we promote the adoption of stray animals instead of buying pets". My name is Wang Yu Le and I will be your moderator. Today's discussion revolves around whether promoting the adoption of stray animals is a better approach.

　　Now we invite the debaters to introduce themselves. We have a debate ahead with three debaters on each side. We will begin with the "promote adoption" side. Please introduce yourself.

　　I am Liu Keyu.

　　Some discussions and preparations regarding recording

　　Thank you. Now let's hear from the team supporting the purchase of pets. Please introduce yourself.

　　I am He Li Chen Qi.

　　To start, we will hear from the side that supports promoting the adoption of stray animals. Each debater will have three minutes to present their opening statement. Yao X fe, you may now present your opening statement.

　　Hello everyone. I'm Yao Song. I'm honored to speak on behalf of my team. In our opinion, it is better for us to adopt an animal rather than buy a pet from a shop. First, it is beneficial for the animals. When we are in the park, it is not uncommon to find several beautiful animals looking for food. Most of them are abandoned by their owners and used to living with humans, so they can hardly survive in the wild. However, annual rescue and adoption can solve this problem. By the end of 2023, the National Stray Animal Rescue Week has rescued 80,000 stray animals and provided 30,751 stray animal shelters in 116 bases, which gives animals a home and provides ways for people to take them home. Therefore, when we adopt an animal from a rescue center, we save a homeless life and give it the opportunity to regain love and companionship.

　　Second, it is beneficial for our society. In China, 40 million people are bitten by dogs and cats every year, and most of these animals are stray due to hunger and other reasons. They may hurt and disturb our living conditions. So, it is necessary for us to adopt a stray animal. By doing this, we can reduce the number of stray animals, which can improve the social climate of the pet market and contribute to building a civilized and harmonious society.

　　Next, it is beneficial for ourselves. First of all, we can get a healthy and desirable pet at a lower price. In the rescue centers, there are various animals, and most of them have received a health check and prevention. Besides, we can keep our adopted pet simpler and learn a lot from the process of getting along with the pet. As described in a book, numerous adopted pets have had the experience of being embraced by people, so they are more familiar with humans than those in the pet shop. They can adapt more quickly and gain our trust. Therefore, we can keep them more conveniently and learn more about responsibility and care.

　　Therefore, adopting a pet is not only a respect for life and a contribution to society but also a growth of our inner selves. Let us choose to adopt a pet to experience the beauty of the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature and to improve our sense of responsibility for society and life.

　　我们的观点是，应推广购买来自繁殖者或宠物店的动物，而非选择领养。首先，这一做法不受经济条件的限制。关于流浪动物的领养环境，其改善需要饲养者的责任心，这样能减少动物的二次遗弃。目前，许多动物救助组织面临资金短缺问题，推广购买行为能为这些组织带来一些财政支持，有助于改善收容所的条件。提高医疗护理标准，增加动物福利项目，并进行明确的年度改革，这并非以盈利为目的。最后，对购买宠物的行为进行严格监管，使其通过合法且明确的渠道进行，从而加强对整个行业的规范，减少非法繁殖和交易，间接地保护更多动物免受虐待。以上是我们的观点，谢谢聆听。付新宇

　　Thank you to our debaters for their opening statements. We've heard arguments from both sides. Now it's time for the rebuttals, where debater two and debater three from both sides will have an opportunity to respond to the points made by the opposing side. In this section, each debater will have three minutes. This is a chance to address any point they disagree with and strengthen their own position.

　　Hello everyone. I'm honored to further reinforce our position that promoting the adoption of stray animals over purchasing is a vital step towards a more compassionate and sustainable society.

　　First, addressing the core issue of reducing the number of stray animals. By advocating adoption, we directly address the root cause of the problem. Every time a stray animal is adopted, it is taken off the streets, reducing the burden on animal shelters and local communities. This not only ensures their safety and well-being but also prevents the breeding of more unwanted animals, thereby breaking the cycle of promiscuity.

　　Secondly, adoption offers these animals a second chance at life and a permanent loving home in a warm and caring environment. Stray animals can flourish, overcoming the trauma of their past. This transformation is not just beneficial for the animals but also enriches the lives of the humans, fostering a sense of responsibility and a deeper connection with nature.

　　Moreover, promoting adoption also has a positive impact on the pet market by reducing the demand for newly bred pets. It can discourage irresponsible breeding practices that prioritize profits over animal welfare. This, in turn, encourages the development of more ethical and sustainable breeding programs where the health and happiness of the animals are paramount.

　　In conclusion, adoption is a winning solution that benefits both the animals and the society as a whole. It reduces the number of stray animals, provides them with a loving home, and fosters a more responsible approach to pet ownership. We urge everyone to consider adoption as their first choice when adding a pet to their family. Thank you. Thank you, 刘科宇.

　　首先，我想指出道路外的猫和书与我们的讨论范围无关。我的观点分为以下几点： 　　第一，为人们提供更多选择。宠物让人们能够根据自己的喜好和需求选择合适的个性、外貌等。这种选择对许多人来说很重要，尤其是那些对特定品种有偏好或需求的人。 　　第二，支持正规繁育者。更多的宠物繁育者注重宠物的健康和质量，并通过科学的繁育方法和购买测试，减少遗传疾病的发生。这使得他们能够继续投入精力和资源进行优质繁育，从而推动整个行业的健康发展。 　　第三，促进经济循环。宠物市场的繁荣可以带动相关产业的发展，如宠物医疗和美容护理等行业。这些行业的发展不仅为社会创造了就业机会，还促进了经济增长，平衡了供需关系。 　　虽然推广领养是减少流浪动物数量的有效手段，但它不能完全取代购买。在某些情况下，如对特定品种宠物的高需求以及领养资源有限时，购买仍然是满足人们需求的重要方式。因此，领养和购买应该携手并进，共同构建一个和谐的宠物市场环境。 　　最后，当公众购买宠物时，消费者往往会更加关注宠物的来源、健康状况和护理知识。同时，负责任的繁育者和销售者应提供相关教育和指导，帮助消费者成为更好的宠物主人。 　　我的陈述完毕，谢谢。（发言人：李晨琪）

　　尊敬的评委、各位团队成员以及在场的每一位：我是 Josehan，今天作为正方三辩，站在这里参与这场关于流浪动物的辩论。我们想要探讨的话题是，应推广流浪动物的领养而非购买。

　　首先，我们必须从伦理角度来考虑这个问题。每个人都应该得到尊重和妥善对待，在追求利益最大化的繁殖设施中，许多动物被置于恶劣的条件下，遭受着痛苦和忽视。通过选择领养的方式，我们为那些无家可归的生命提供了一个获得新生的机会，间接地减少了对这种繁殖操作的需求，从而产生了很大的积极影响。

　　其次，从经济角度来看，领养比购买更具成本效益。领养费用通常比购买宠物的相关费用低得多，而且大多数领养机构会提供必要的健康检查、疫苗接种和绝育服务，这可以为领养者节省大量的费用。总之，领养一只动物不仅可以确保动物的幸福和健康，宠物主人也可以用较少的钱获得一个好伙伴。

　　然而，购买宠物可能会满足一些人对特定品种的偏好，比如纯种、混种或其他受欢迎的动物，但这可能会导致一些动物被忽视或遗弃。我们应该正视这个可能导致动物受到不公正对待的问题。

　　周子翰，叶令一，You may now give your rebuttal.

　　Hello, I'm the third opponent. First, I give the first argument that to ensure animals will not be a threat to readers or pastors, ensuring that the animals are properly cared for and are in good health. These are subject to regulations and inspections, which help to ensure the welfare of the animals. In contrast, the conditions in many animal shelters and rescue organizations can be overcrowded and potentially expose pets to diseases or other issues.

　　Secondly, I see the predictability and variability. When purchasing a pet from a reputable source, buyers can have a clear understanding of the animal's temperament and any medical conditions. This predictability allows prospective owners to make an informed decision and better prepare for responsible pet ownership. Adopting a pet from a shelter, on the other hand, may involve greater uncertainty regarding the animal's character and behaviors.

　　The third argument is in favor of the responsible breeding. Responsible breeding plays a crucial role in the health of the pets. By purchasing from these sources, consumers can help enhance their breeding practices and contribute to the well-being of the pet industry. In contrast, the practice of pet adoption may have limitations that encourage irresponsible breeding and protection of the copy andment you.

　　Thank you. Thank you to all our debaters for their presentations. We've heard strong arguments from both sides, and now it's time for the free debate session. The debates will have the opportunity to debate with each other. The free debate session will last for eight minutes. Each side of the debate will have a total of four minutes. During this time, any debater from either side may speak, respond, or pose questions to the opposing side. Let's begin.

　　The importance of legal control. However, even within the legal market, there remains the possibility of inadequate attention. We change to annual government. The question then arises: How can we ensure with strong regulatory oversight that even within the framework of local and right matters of lawmaking, it is not invalid in the debate.

　　Hurry up. Liu Keyu: He said that in the pet shop, you can get much information about the pets. But I think the animal shelter can also provide this. Um, same as you guys talk a lot about the benefits of adoption, which reduces the number of stray animals. Um, but buying three animals also can do that. And again, research shows that you can get pets at a lower cost. So how is that different from buying them? And this is my first question. My second question is: How do you ensure that low-cost adopted animals have no health problems? And please answer these two questions.

　　Well, first, when you adopt a pet, all the people will tell you if they have health problems or behavioral issues. So you should not worry about their health. Again, I want to say we had left out the back at three cats and box on the side. This is out of the scope of our discussion. If you buy a pet, the store will have procedures to ensure that you don't abandon it. For this question, maybe we need to consider that.

　　And um, I will ask you that. You say that the cost of developing a three animal is extremely high. So how do you handle it? I think making people adopt it is not for profits because it is a great contribution to the society and those animals. Yes, but it doesn't guarantee financial gain and the authors find it difficult. Well, most adoption agencies, the workers are doing voluntary work, and they have regulations such as. They will check the pets, such as once a year, and they will ensure that they are not.

　　Thank you to all our debaters. For the three debate sessions, we've heard a range of strong arguments and exchanges. Now, as we move towards the conclusion of our debate, it's time for the closing statements.

　　Now, each side will select one representative to deliver a closing statement. These statements will summarize their key arguments and make any final points they wish to leave with the audience. Each representative will have three minutes to present their closing statements.

　　The remote adoption side, please go ahead with your closing statement.

　　Hello everyone, I am Yuke. As we conclude our argument, I would like to stress the profound impacts and benefits promoting the adoption of stray animals has on our communities and the world at large. Let's acknowledge that the choice between adoption and purchase is not mutually exclusive. However, our position is that adoption should be emphasized and actively promoted as a preferred option.

　　It is not to undermine the importance of supporting responsible breeders, but to highlight the urgency and benefits of addressing the issue of animal homelessness. The benefits of addressing the issue of stray animal homelessness are numerous. Adoption offers a wider range of choices and also contributes to the reputation of the pet trade, which is also thought to address its ethical concerns.

　　By promoting adoption, we send the message that every life matters and that there are countless animals waiting for a home, regardless of their breed, age, or appearance. Furthermore, adoption promotes the culture of compassion and empathy. It encourages individuals to see beyond the surface and recognize the unique personalities and potential in every animal. This helps build a more inclusive and understanding society where all living beings are valued and respected.

　　Lastly, the benefits of adoption are not limited to the animals themselves. Owning a pet can have profound positive effects on one's mental and physical health, providing companionship, reducing stress, and encouraging physical activity. By promoting adoption, we're not only helping animals but also contributing to the overall well-being of our communities.

　　In conclusion, promoting the adoption of stray animals is the compassionate, sustainable, and socially responsible choice. It addresses the urgent issue of animal homelessness, fosters a culture of empathy, and enriches the lives of those animals. We firmly believe that adoption should be the first and foremost option for those seeking to add a pet to their family. Thank you. Thank you, Liu Keyu.

　　Now we'll hear the closing statement from the other side.

　　Hello, I'm 发言人姓名 in today's debate. We discuss the issue of purchasing versus adopting stray animals. This supports the sense of purchasing as a solution, and this perspective has a rationality and necessity. Firstly, purchasing stray animals can provide them with a better living environment. Many shelters have limited resources, and the living conditions of the animals are often poor. By purchasing these animals, they can find a stable and loving home quickly, improving their quality of life. Secondly, purchasing stray animals can provide support to shelters. Many shelters rely on donations to operate, and purchasing can become an additional source of funding, helping them improve facilities and offer better treatment and care services. Furthermore, purchasing stray animals can enhance people's sense of responsibility and importance. This often leads to greater ability, which helps reduce the incidence of abandonment. Finally, we're not against adoption, although we prefer to emphasize diverse choices. Purchasing and adoption can work together to address the issue of stray animals. In conclusion, while the adoption of animals is a noble act, it should not be the sole focus when it comes to pets. By encouraging people to purchase from reputable and regulated sources, who can ensure the welfare of the animals, we promote responsible pet ownership and provide consumers with the ability they need to make informed decisions about pet ownership. We hope today's debate has provided a better understanding of the stray animal issue. Thank you all for listening. Thank you, Ye.
