The answer has been started below, you need to finish it off.
One Christian belief about the use of animals is that animals have been provided for the use of humans. They believe this because in Genesis, it states that ‘whatever Adam called every living creature, that was its name’ which show that God gave Adam control of the animals. Therefore, Christians believe we are able to use animals, within reason, for the benefit of humans, such as for food.
