We all know that the animals are very important to us. The creator made them to beautify our world. After he had finished making them all, he told us to take care of them. So now e need to love and care each animal.
But some people could never care for them. They even catch them and tie them or prison them inside a cage. For short, they do not have freedom anymore. And the worst thing people could do to them, is killing. Yes we know that they are helpful to us. Reasons why people kills them is that some parts of their body is helpful. An example is a sheep. Its fur can be used in making coats. The meat as food. The milk as a drink to help us improve our health. But we need not to do this. I have a question. “How many lives can be wasted just for a coat?”. Because of this, a lot of people in the world joined their forces upon depending the rights of every animal. I just read a news about the depending of animal rights. It says that people from different countries came to Italy. All of them were lying on the streets. And they were all naked. Each one of them were bringing banners with the shouts of animal depending. They were not afraid of expressing their feelings and being naked in front of many people.
This lesson asks students to focus on people's innate navigational abilities. They will first read about animal navigation and will then compare animal to human navigational capabilities. They will then create travel brochures for an Outward Bound-style company, providing customers with tips on how to find their way if they get lost and can't rely on their map and compass.
For the first time since 1995, the South African government is advocating killing elephants as one way of controlling growing populations. Without some kind of action, the animals will overburden many of the country's public parks and Marthinus van Schalkwyk, South Africa's minister of environmental affairs and tourism, announced the decision yesterday at Addo Elephant National Park near the city of Port Elizabeth (South Africa map). Van Schalkwyk insisted that culling (killing for management purposes), should be undertaken only as a last resort. "Culling may be used to reduce the size of an elephant population, subject to due consideration of all other population-management options," he said. Among the other options in the proposal are moving elephants to less-crowded areas, expanding parks, and administering contraception—all of which are costly, cumbersome, and not without their own complications. For one thing, the proposal says, elephant contraception's "long-term social, physiological, and emotional impacts on elephants are not yet fully understood, and current contraception methods are highly invasive and should therefore be used with caution." (Related: "African Elephants Slaughtered in Herds Near Chad Wildlife Park" [August 30, 2006].) South Africa's cabinet has already approved the "draft norms and standards for elephant management." The draft is now open for public comment for 60 days before becoming official policy. Though some conservationists decry the proposed policy as inhumane, others welcomed the elephant plan and even characterized the proposal as a bittersweet sign of progress"Our conservation efforts have been too successful," said Graham Kerley, director of the Centre for African Conservation Ecology at South Africa's Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. private reserves, officials and conservationists say.
This was another news I just read in the newspaper. Poor elephants, these creatures will surely cry when they will be hearing the news.
