In farming, animals like cows and horses have helped people for a very long time. They help to work on farms and carry things. Bees are very important because they help flowers and plants grow, which lets us get fruits and vegetables to eat. Today, dogs also help police and rescue workers find lost people or unsafe things.
Animals help scientists too. They help doctors make medicines that save lives. For example, scientists often use mice in labs to learn about sickness and try new medicines. Without animals, many important medical discoveries might not happen.
