Could someone please make a clincher sentence for me?
The conclusion of my essay(this is what needs the clincher to end):
In brief, health issues, loneliness, and many other problems humans faced many centuries ago, and still face now, have been reduced thanks to domesticated animals. Animals were found to be extremely helpful to humans, and are now kept as pets.
The rest of the essay(the essay is about the cause and effect of pets and owners):
Introduction - George Eliot has said, “Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” The pets that are now humankind’s companions today were once wild animals. They now benefit humans in many ways. Because animals were domesticated many centuries ago, humans then began to have them as companions and kept them as pets; this led to a reduction of loneliness and health issues.
Body paragraph 1 - Early humans domesticated certain animals many centuries ago. National Geographic notes, “Because most major acts of domestication began before recorded history, we don’t know much about the exact process behind the generations-long journey from wild animal to domesticated pet or livestock. What is clear is that the ancestors of domesticated animals must have already exhibited traits that made them somehow useful to humans—traits that may have ranged from tasty meat to warm coats to a natural affinity for people.” Animals showed a natural affinity for people many years before being domesticated. The National Academy of Sciences has researched that, “Domestication of today's barnyard animals proceeded as a result of pressure by these early hunter-gatherers as they intuitively sought to stabilize their food resources (17, 24, 25). Among the successful domesticates, most were behaviorally preadapted to domestication. Behavioral characteristics considered favorable and unfavorable are presented in Table 2. Barnyard animals descend from herd-living herbivores whose ancestors followed a dominant individual through a territory shared with other herds.” Based off behavior, “hunter-gatherers” selected barnyard animals to stabilize their food resources. Humans began to domesticate animals because of things like a shortage of food, a need for help, and such.
Body paragraph 2 - As a result, more and more domesticated animals became pets over the years. Certain domesticated animals were seen as tame, or capable of being tamed. We now have various types of pets today, because of domestication many centuries back. “More than half of the global population is estimated to have a pet at home”, Health for Animals has analyzed. It is very common to have pets these days. Further on, John Leonard, a writer for “Greece Is”, claims, “Within the home and garden, the range of animals kept as pets was almost boundless, including dogs, ducks, geese, caged birds, rabbits, hares, tortoises, goats, quail, and mice.” There was, and still is, a wide range of animals kept as pets. Many different animals were domesticated, and are now pets.
Body paragraph 3 - The benefits of having pets range from a reduction of loneliness and health issues to increased happiness and better social skills. “The unconditional love of a pet can do more than keep you company. Pets may also decrease stress, improve heart health, and even help children with their emotional and social skills.” News in Health states. There are many benefits of having pets, many pertaining to health. News in Health has also found that “Animals can serve as a source of comfort and support. Therapy dogs are especially good at this. They’re sometimes brought into hospitals or nursing homes to help reduce patients’ stress and anxiety.” [Animals, especially dogs, are in tune to human emotions and are good support. The benefits of having pets are vast, and increase more, and more, over the years.
