what is the beneficial of animals to people?

Answer 1

Different animals give a wide variety of benefits to people. From the animals that provide meat, fish, eggs, milk, honey and other food items directly to our table, to secondary products such as leather, fur, wool, and even feathers used to dress ourselves.

There are also other, less direct benefits from animals. For many thousands of years, animals provided pretty much our only source of labour and transportation outside our own muscles. Without horses to ride, or oxen to plough our fields, human history would have been very different.

Even without using animals for meat or ploughing, they are still also important to agriculture. Animal droppings used as fertilizer have helped produce crops for many thousands of years. Not to mention the plant pollination carried out by bees, flies, bats, hummingbirds, beetles and other animals.

The bones, teeth and horns of animals have also been used by a wide range of cultures as tools and raw materials for millenia.

There are other benefits that even less obvious too. Predators, insectivores, and parasites help to keep populations of those organisms we consider pests in check. It's usually when we upset the balance and wipe out a predator that major pest infestations become a problem.

So much of human agricultural, cultural, and technological development has been dependent on animals that without them, even if we existed (which we wouldn't, since we are animals as well), we would remain simple bands of creatures digging roots and nuts from the ground with sticks, rather than the advanced, potentially world-destroying creatures we are today.

Dolphins helping children learn. Horses teaching kids to walk. Cats visiting patients in hospitals. What's going on?

These days, some really amazing animals are helping people--in very special ways. Here are some of the coolest service animals around!

A WET KISS

Chris has a disease called meningitis (men-in-JYE-tus), which makes it hard for him to speak. A dolphin helps him practice speaking. Every time Chris gives the right answer to a question from his teacher, he gets a kiss from the dolphin.

To help people like Chris, some companies bring them and dolphins together. They say swimming with dolphins relaxes people and helps them feel good. They also believe that being with dolphins may help people with learning disabilities try harder to learn.

It's hard for Caroline to walk or stand--she has cerebral palsy (sur-REE- brul PAUL-zee). But riding a horse such as Lucky helps Caroline. The horse's movements make her use some of the same muscles that she would need for walking. So being on a horse gives her the right kind of practice. Sometimes, she can even stand on her horse. Way to go, Caroline!

GAME, BOY?

Dallas the dog can pick up something as small as a dime or as big as a game controller for Josh. Josh has brittle bone disease, so he has to use a wheelchair to get around. Dallas pulls Josh's wheelchair. And if he and Josh go to a store, Dallas puts his paws on the counter and hands over the money!

With his dog nearby, Josh doesn't have to wait for people to help him. So he's sure to agree--it's great having an animal at your service!

PAWS THAT REFRESH

When Hobie Cat purred on Sean's pillow, it cheered him right up. Many groups bring cats, dogs, and even llamas to hospitals and nursing homes.

Scientists have found out that people feel better when they pet an animal. So a purring cat, furry dog, or other animal may be just the medicine a sick or injured person needs.

MONKEY DO

Becky broke her spine in a diving accident. She can't walk and now has a lot of trouble using her hands. Her monkey, Kristi, is a big help. Kristi can unscrew tops from containers, pick up anything that Becky drops, and get lunch for Becky from the refrigerator. She can even put a CD, video, or audio tape in a player and start it. Plus, Becky says, Kristi is great company!

Answer 3

haysoos hit on a lot of them...
In agriculture, they can provide food in the form of meat or milk. Some, like bees, produce food for humans indirectly. Fish and some wild animals are still used for food.
They also provide labor by pulling plows, or being used as a form of transportation.
In the wild, they are part of a living ecosystem. Wild animals regulate eachother and the plants in their environment. If you remove wild dogs from an ecosystem, there is nothing to control the population of rabbits. If the rabbits run out of wild plants, they will turn to human crops.
Even in our cities - we may not appreciate rats or cockroaches, but they quickly rid the ground of things that would otherwise rot and possibly become places for infectious bacteria would multiply.

Answer 4

If they are nice animals, they can keep you company, entertain you and go for walks with you. They have people who bring their dogs to the hospital and that really perks up the sick people.
