Animal and plants around us, nature
Animals are part of the environment, too. Milions of them are killed or treated cruelly by man every day. Animals are used for scientific research. Animals are killed for sport or for their fur or skin. Animals are in danger because the environment is in danger. They are often kept in cruel conditions on farms. Animals shouldn’t suffer.
Endangered species (animals in need)
Everyone now „Red Book of Endangered species”. There used to be a lot of different kind of animals few centuries ago. Indians hunted bison for food but when white men came they hunted it for fun. People hunt whales of dolphins for money. There used to be a lot of elephants in Africa but Humans nearly extirpate them. But it’s better now than few years ago. Special organizations care about endangered species and they helped them. They try to save what they can. Poachersare punished but sometimes it’s not enough.
