保护动物的英语作文

Animals Need Protecting

Animals

are

natural

resources

that

people have wasted

all through

our

history. Animals have been killed for

their

fur

and

feathers,

for

food,

for

sport,

and

simply

because

they

were in the way. Thousands of kinds

of

animals

have

disappeared

from

the

earth

forever.

Hundreds

more

are

on

the

danger

list

today.

About

170 kinds in the United States alone

are considered in danger.

Why

should

people

care?

Because

we

need

animals,

and

because

once they are gone, there will never

be

any

more.

Animals

are

more

than

just

beautiful

or

interesting.

They are more than just a source of

food.

Every

animal

has

its

place

in

the

balance

of

nature.

Destroying

one kind of animal can create many

problems.

For

example,

when

farmers

killed

large

numbers

of

hawks,

the

farmers'

stores

of

corn

and

grain

were

destroyed

by

rats

and

mice.

Why?

Because

hawks

eat rats and mice, with no hawks to

keep

down

their

numbers,

the

rats

and mice multiplied quickly.

Luckily, some people are working to

help

save

the

animals.

Some

groups

raise

money

to

let

people

know

about

the

problem.

And

they

try

to

get

the

governments

to

pass

laws

protecting

animals

in

danger.

Quite

a

few

countries

have

passed

laws. These laws forbid the killing of

any

animal

or

plant

on

the

danger

list.

Slowly,

the

number

of

some

animals in danger is growing.
