In the Bible it says that animals were put here to be of use to Man, that we are to shepherd them and use them as we see fit. How can I convince environmentalists that the true purpose of animals are to be of use to Man?

One way to convince environmentalists that the true purpose of animals is to be of use to Man is to point out the many practical benefits that our dependence on animals provides. Animals have been and continue to be essential to human survival, as we rely on them for both their products and services. Animals provide food, materials such as leather, wool, and fur, transportation, fertilizer, and even protection from predators. Additionally, they play a vital role in pest control, pollination, and even medicines. By drawing attention to the many benefits that animals provide, one can make the case that we must use them responsibly and not simply see them as an object of our destruction.
