+ 加入清单动物有其生存的权利,就如同人类有人权一样。而现代的社会主张人人生而平等,那动物呢?只因为他们的智商不如人类,只因为无法清楚表达,我们就可以这样伤害他们,剥夺他们生存的权利吗?
在现在如此动荡不安的社会中,有其中的一小部分是因为人类没有尽到保护生态的责任而造成的。人们总是为了自己的利益,去牺牲了动物自由生存的权利。我们为了满足自己的欲望,去商店购买宠物,一旦自己厌倦了,便随意放生;我们为了研发更新的药物,捕捉无辜的动物来试验,而它们最后也都成了这些药物的祭品;我们为了获得更美观的衣物、配件,去滥捕动物以获取它们的皮毛;更有些人,为了拥有更好的物质生活,用尽了各种不道德的方法来训练动物,成立马戏团。我们所做的种种,都使它们离绝种之路梗接近了。人类为何就是如此的自私呢?
面对这些伤害动物的行为,我们更应该要更积极的负起保护生态的责任。一、不像店家购买宠物,你能用钱买到你想要、你喜欢的宠物,但你却买不到它对你的热情,如果想要养宠物,不妨到流浪动物之家领养,如此一来,一举两得。二、避免实行动物实验,减少一些无辜动物的死亡。三、拒绝购买动物皮草,避免产生不必要的伤害。四、不要让你的胃成为动物的坟场,少吃肉类,多吃蔬菜,以减少杀生。
虽然保护生态造成的议题只是社会中的一小部分,但我们若再置之不理,只会让它变得更严重。保护生态不单单只是保护人员的工作,更是我们所有生存在这美丽地球的人的义务与责任。地球若没了动物,就如同蓝天没了白云,不要让我们的子孙只能在博物馆里见到今天的动物。

篇7:如何保护动物英语作文
全文共 5272 字
+ 加入清单The dog is one of the most popular pets in the world. It ordinarily remains loyal to a considerate master, and because of this the dog has been called mans best friend. Class distinctions between people have no part in a dogs life. It can be a faithful companion to either rich or poor.
Dogs have been domesticated for most of human history and have thus endeared themselves to many over the years. Stories have been told about brave dogs that served admirably in war or that risked their lives to save persons in danger. When Pompeii--the Roman community destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in AD 79--was finally excavated, searchers found evidence of a dog lying across a child, apparently trying to protect the youngster. Perhaps few of the millions of dogs in the world may be so heroic, but they are still a source of genuine delight to their owners.
A dog fits easily into family life. It thrives on praise and affection. When a master tells a dog that it is good, the animal happily wags its tail. But when a master scolds a dog, it skulks away with a sheepish look and with its tail tucked between its legs.
People in the city as well as those in other areas can enjoy a dog. Medium-size or small dogs are best suited for the confines of the city. Large dogs need considerable exercise over a large area.
Dogs are not always well thought of, however. In recent years dogs in the city have been in the center of controversy. Some people have criticized dog owners for allowing their pets to soil sidewalks and lawns, although in some cities laws oblige owners to walk their dogs along street curbs. In turn, dog owners have argued that the animals serve as protection against vandals and burglars and thus protect their detractors as well as their owners.
When a person decides to own a dog, he should be prepared to care for it properly. For a dog to stay healthy it must be correctly fed and adequately groomed, and its medical needs must be met. For a dog to be well-mannered it must be properly trained. It should never be ill-treated or mishandled. Otherwise, it will bite in its own defense.
The wild ancestors of all dogs were hunters. Wolves and other wild relatives of the dog still hunt in packs for their food. Dogs have retained the urge to be with the pack. This is why they do not like to be left alone for long. Some breeds of dogs still retain the hunting instinct.
Dogs exist in a wide range of sizes, colors, and temperaments. Some, such as the Doberman pinscher and the German shepherd, serve as alert and aggressive watchdogs. Others, such as the beagle and the cocker spaniel, are playful family pets, even though they were bred for hunting. Still others, such as the collie and the Welsh corgi, can herd farm or range animals. Each of the dogs just mentioned is a purebred. A mongrel dog, however--one with many breeds in its background--can just as easily fit into family life.
Dogs have been with humans since prehistoric times. Over the years they have performed various services. They have pulled sleds over snowy tracts. They have delivered messages, herded sheep and cattle, and even rescued persons trapped in the snow. Dogs have served as a source of food, too. The ancient Romans are said to have prized certain kinds of dog stew. The Aztecs of ancient Mexico raised tiny dogs, thought to be the forebears of the chihuahua, to feed the large carnivores in the private zoos of the Aztec rulers. In the past dogs have even been worshiped as gods. Recently, they have been used in drug research, medical experimentation, and space science. Soviet scientists launched dogs into space to test the ability of mammals to survive the rigors of space travel before people were sent up.
Dogs are trained as guard dogs in peacetime by the United States Army and other military services. Because of their keen sense of smell, dogs are used by police at times to track down escaped prisoners. Law enforcement agencies also rely on the dogs acute sense of smell to uncover illegal drugs. And specially trained dogs serve as the "eyes" of the blind, guiding the steps of their sightless masters around obstacles and hazards.
狗是世界上最受欢迎的宠物之一。它通常仍然忠于一个体贴的主人,因为这个狗被称为人类最好的朋友。人们之间的阶级差别没有生活在狗的一部分。它可以是一个忠实的伴侣,无论是富人还是穷人。
狗驯化在人类历史的大多数时期,因此球员很多。故事被告知关于勇敢的狗,令人钦佩的战争或冒着生命危险拯救的人处于危险之中。当庞培——罗马社区在公元79年被维苏威火山——终于被挖掘,搜索者发现一只狗躺在一个孩子的证据,显然试图保护这个年轻人。也许一些世界上数以百万计的狗可能是英雄,但他们仍然是一个真正的喜悦主人的来源。
一只狗容易符合家庭生活。在赞美和感情。当大师告诉一只狗,它是好的,动物快乐地摇尾巴。但当主人骂狗,它潜伏了一个羞怯的外观和它的两腿之间夹着尾巴。
城市的人们以及那些在其他领域可以享受一只狗。中型或小型狗是最适合城市的范围。大型犬在大面积需要相当大的锻炼。
然而,狗并不总是值得思考的。近年来狗在城市里一直在争论的中心。有些人批评狗主人允许宠物土壤人行道和草坪,尽管在一些城市的法律迫使业主限制他们的狗沿着街道散步。反过来,狗主人认为,动物作为防范破坏者和窃贼,从而保护他们的批评者以及它们的主人。
当一个人决定自己的一条狗,他应该准备妥善照顾它。狗保持健康必须正确美联储和充分培养及其医疗需求必须得到满足。狗必须得到适当的训练表现得彬彬有礼。它不应该虐待或处理不当。否则,它会咬自己的防御。
所有的狗都是猎人的野生祖先。狼和其他的野生亲缘狗仍然集体觅食的食物。狗有保留的冲动与包。这就是为什么他们不喜欢独处太久。一些品种的狗仍然保留了狩猎的本能。
狗存在大范围的大小,颜色,和性情。一些,比如杜宾犬,德国牧羊犬,作为预警和积极的监督者。其他的,如小猎犬和可卡犬,好玩的家庭宠物,尽管他们的狩猎。还有一些,比如牧羊犬和威尔士科基犬,可以群农场或范围的动物。每个狗刚才提到的一个纯种。一条杂种狗,然而——有许多品种的背景——可以很容易适应家庭生活。
狗自史前时代以来一直与人类。这些年来,他们已经在执行各种服务。他们已经把雪橇在雪大片。他们传递的消息,赶羊和牛,甚至救出被困在雪地里的人。狗也有担任过的食物来源。古罗马人据说炖珍贵的某些种类的狗。古代墨西哥的阿兹特克提出了很小的狗,认为是吉娃娃的祖先,给阿兹特克的私人动物园大型食肉动物的统治者。在过去的狗甚至被崇拜为神。最近,他们被用于药物研究、医疗实验,和空间科学。苏联科学家发射了狗测试能力的哺乳动物生存的艰辛太空旅行之前人打发了。
狗是训练有素的警犬在和平时期的美国军队和其他军事服务。因为他们的敏锐的嗅觉,狗被警察有时用来追踪逃跑的囚犯。执法机构也依靠狗的敏锐的嗅觉发现非法毒品。和受过专门训练的狗充当盲人的“眼睛”,指导的步骤失明的主人在障碍和危害。

+ 加入清单In fact, there are many things that can seriously pollute the environment: litter, spitting, grass and so on. The consequences are severe. But the waste of resources cannot be ignored. The worst is the waste of water.
At present, the reform and development of our country is at a critical juncture, and we should strive to achieve the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. But there are still some problems -- our living environment is seriously polluted; And the green resources are falling.
We do a lot of what the environment, such as: on one occasion, in a clean small garden, there have been some rubbish, gradually where there are a lot of people throw garbage, there is a garbage dump. It turned out that the trees were green and the flowers and grass were blooming. The bees and the butterflies were there, and there was a smell of enchantment. But now, there was nothing to do with it, and the smell of it was so bad that no one was willing to stay there any longer. Alas! It is a pity that such a beautiful garden is gone. If people notice that they dont pollute the environment, now, by the way, its a kind of escape. And, what a wonderful thing for people to have a rest and take advantage of the cold. But now its a junkyard, and the consequences of polluting the environment are terrible.
And there are a lot of factory waste is also pollute the environment, but the most serious is the pollution of water, I heard of such a story: there was a village, there was a clear pool. There were lotus flowers in the water and the goldfish, and it was so beautiful that visitors to the village would not forget to take a look at the scene. And people in the village wash and cook and drink water and water, so the water is very precious. One day, a businessman opened a factory near the pond, and the factory shut down a lot of waste water and garbage and went into the pond... The result can be imagined: the goldfish died, the water side became the sewage, the tourists no longer came, the people in the village moved away... Alas! The little pond has disappeared. The factory severely polluted the environment and made the environment in the village very bad and affected peoples lives. Its a story, but there are a lot of these things in everyday life, and the results are very serious, not just simple consequences.
In fact, there are many things that can seriously pollute the environment: litter, spitting, grass and so on. The consequences are severe. But the waste of resources cannot be ignored. The worst is the waste of water.
Now, Beijing is a city of severe water shortages, but there are a lot of people in the waste water, such as: there are a lot of people out of the water to wash the dishes and laundry water and reuse. In fact, although can only save a little water, economy is a lot of!
Also, people who sell fish in the market love to put a faucet on the side of the water, and when they use water, they will let the water flow freely. How much water they would waste if they went on like this!
The drink, the wine, etc., are now made with water. Some factories use a lot of water, so some of the water is wasted. Thats a lot of wasted water. This water can do a lot if you save it! You can also avoid a little water.

We all got up that morning, the people on board, is preparing to play water to wash shu. But the faucet for half a day on the boat were down only a few drops of water, one asked, originally is the boat ran out of water!

All this is all thanks to the human! Countries while in value, although the world in value, environmental protection, what and how much these things figure up attention? In my opinion, is rare. Although countries in so to speak, but whats the use of words and not of deeds? Did just a few, too! Dont grab from main reason! You see, the Yellow River water is not still contaminated? So the factory does not still pollute the atmosphere? Should grasp, starts from the quality of people, quality grab, but the country and the world to do so? No! Just like to do even when you are done. In the polluted environment is not so?
Animals are extinct, flash floods in explosion, dust storms still exist... It fully shows the environmental pollution!

So, we as the master of the 21st century, you should understand, what is the root of the damage to the environment, from the point to solve it. Work hard -- the 21st century we!
首先,我先给大家讲一个真实的事件。那是我随我的外公从宜昌坐船前往三峡时发生的一件事。
那天早晨,船上的人都起来了,正准备打水洗淑。可是船上的水龙头半天也只下来几滴水,一询问,原来是船上的水用完了!所以,大家只有排着长长的队伍,慢慢的等。我望着船下,船下虽然有着流不尽的江水,但却没有一个人愿意来使用它。因为江水太脏了,是那么的浑黄,又有谁敢去使用呢?只有慢慢的排队,慢慢的等!
如今科技虽然在高速发展,但这影响到了我们的环境。河流污染,大气污染,树木的减少,沙漠的增多……这一切的一切都是拜人类所赐!国家虽然在重视,世界虽然在重视,什么环境保护日,这些事又有多少人影起了注意呢?在我看来,是极少的。国家虽然在这么说,可是光说不做又有什么用呢?做了也只是少数罢了!根本没有从主要原因抓起!你看,黄河的水不是还在被污染吗?工厂不照样还在污染大气吗?抓,就应该从小抓起,从人们的素质,品质抓起,可是国家乃至世界这么做了吗?没有!即使做了也只是做样子罢了。环境不是照样还在被污染吗?
动物还在灭绝,山洪还在爆发,沙尘暴照样存在……这都充分说明了环境还在污染!国家只会去赈灾,而不去根本抓起,只会去赈灾,这又有什么用呢?各种灾难不还是照样在发生吗?我们应该像鲁迅一样。他当初从医是为了拯救中国人,而他发现,这解决不了根本,所以,他当了作家,去拯救人们的精神。因为这就是根本!所以,我们作为21世纪的小主人,就应该明白,什么是破坏环境的根本,从要点去解决它。努力吧――21世纪的我们!
篇11:保护鲨鱼的英语作文
全文共 7064 字
+ 加入清单Excuse me waiter, there’s a shark in my soup
Some 200m years before dinosaurs made their appearance on earth and thus quite some time before Homo sapiens began celebrating nuptials at extravagant wedding banquets, sharks swam the oceans. Sharks are older than trees. They have survived at least four planetary mass extinctions.
在恐龙在地球上出现之前两亿年左右,也就是在现代人(Homo sapiens)开始举办奢华婚宴之前相当久远的时候,鲨鱼们就已经在海洋中游弋。鲨鱼比树还要古老。它们至少经历了四次地球物种灭绝,一直活到了今天。
The link between these ancient predators and contemporary wedding receptions is that, among Chinese people, it is a sign of generosity and prestige to serve guests shark-fin soup. Since there are more than 1.3bn Chinese people, and since they are getting more affluent by the day, that is of no little consequence to the shark population. Some 70m sharks are killed each year for their fins. Much of the time, the fins are sliced off with a blade at sea and the bloody shark torso thrown back in the water to die.
这种古老的食肉动物和当代婚宴之间的联系在于,在中国人眼中,请客人吃鱼翅羹是慷慨与体面的标志。由于中国有13亿多人口,并且中国人一天比一天富裕,吃鱼翅对鲨鱼数量可谓影响重大。为了获取鱼翅,人类每年要捕杀约7000万条鲨鱼。大多数时候,人们在海上用刀把鱼鳍割下来,然后便将血淋淋的鲨鱼躯干扔入海里,任由它们死去。
The California state legislature is debating a bill co-sponsored by Paul Fong, a Chinese-American Democrat, to ban the sale, consumption and trade of shark fin. Hawaii, Oregon and Washington state already impose similar bans. California accounts for 85 per cent of shark fin eaten in the US. The bill sailed through the lower house assembly, but is being held up in the state senate because of concerns it discriminates against Chinese Americans.
加利福尼亚州立法机构正在讨论由民主党人、美籍华人方文忠(Paul Fong)联合提议的一项旨在禁止贩卖、消费和交易鱼翅的议案。夏威夷州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州已经实施了类似的禁令。加州的鱼翅食用量占到美国鱼翅总食用量的85%。州众议院会议已通过了此项议案,但因担心法案有歧视美籍华人的嫌疑,州参议院还未对其投票表决。
What people eat is, indeed, a sensitive topic and one that generates much hypocrisy. Different cultures have formed their own taboos about what is proper, and not proper, to eat. Muslims and Jews don’t eat pigs, Hindus don’t eat cows and most Americans don’t eat snake or whale. Jains, and vegetarians of all cultures, don’t eat any animals at all.
人们吃什么确实是一个敏感的话题,也会催生许多虚伪的作风。对于可以吃什么、不可以吃什么,不同的文化有着各自的禁忌。穆斯林和犹太教徒不吃猪肉,印度教徒不吃牛肉,而大多数美国人不吃蛇肉或鲸肉。耆那教徒(Jains)和各种文化中的素食主义者都不吃任何动物。
Westerners are particularly prone to turning up their nose at what other people eat. Their position is mostly illogical and sometimes offensive. They tend to mentally divide animals into those you eat (like pigs, sheep and chickens); those you cuddle or stroke (cats, dogs and horses); and those too ugly, unusual or intelligent to eat (say beetles, zebras and dolphins). Many profess to loathe barbarity – think clubbing seals – yet are happy to eat veal or to ignore what goes on in their friendly neighbourhood abattoir.
西方人尤其看不惯其它文化社会的人们所吃的东西。他们的出发点大多不合逻辑,有时可能还会触犯众怒。他们往往在心里把动物分为好几类:吃的(如猪、羊和鸡)、搂抱或抚摸的(猫、狗和马)以及太丑、太怪或太聪明而不能吃的(比如甲虫、斑马和海豚)。许多人都公开对残暴行为表示憎恶——例如用棍子猎杀海豹——但却爱吃小牛肉,或佯装对自己居住的友好社区的屠宰场里发生的一切毫不知晓。
Michael Moore, the American documentary film-maker, brilliantly – if possibly inadvertently – exposed this self-delusion in Roger & Me. In a scene that was meant to highlight the poverty of Flint, Michigan, a woman selling rabbits is shown asking customers if they want “pets or meat”. If the answer is “pet”, the cuddly bunny is handed over to a delighted child. If “meat”, the hapless creature is clubbed to death with a lead pipe and skinned on the spot.
美国纪录片电影制片人迈克尔?摩尔(Michael Moore)在《罗杰和我》(Roger & me)中绘声绘色地(也可能是不经意地)披露了这种自欺欺人的行径。在展现密歇根州弗林特(Flint)贫困状况的一个场景中,有个女人在卖兔子,她问顾客要买“宠物还是兔肉”。如果答案是“宠物”,她就把小兔子交给一个满心欢喜的孩子。如果答案是“兔肉”,她便当场用一根铅管把这个可怜的动物打死并把皮剥下来。
The richer societies get, the more finicky they tend to become. Many (including myself) waste half the animal they have had killed on their behalf, refusing to consume its organs, intestines, brain and so on. These parts are often eaten, and sometimes prized, in non-western societies, particularly in Asia. In their willingness to consume almost all the animal, both China and Japan score far better than most western countries.
社会越是富有,往往就会变得越挑剔。许多人(包括我在内)会浪费掉因为他们而被杀死的动物的一半,我们拒绝食用它们的器官、肠子和脑子等等部位。但在西方之外的社会、尤其是亚洲,人们通常是吃这些的,而且有时还会将其视若珍品。就吃下动物所有部位的意愿而言,中国和日本要远远排在大多数西方国家的前面。
Surely, then, one can’t object to eating shark fin? Yet one can and one should. The reasons are to do with conservation and our broader ecosystem. Some species of shark have been depleted by 70 per cent and a few, such as smooth hammerhead, bull sharks and tiger sharks, by 90 per cent or more. Sharks are the ocean’s top predators. Their absence causes havoc. Off the east coast of America, sharks used to eat bottom-feeding rays. With shark numbers massively depleted, the rays have had a field day devouring scallops, clams and oysters, rapidly reducing stocks.
这么说来,想必我们不能反对吃鱼翅了?不,我们可以反对,而且也应当反对。因为这关系到环境保护以及更广泛生态系统的保护。一些种类的鲨鱼数量已减少了70%,少数几个种类的数量减少了90%,例如平双髻鲨、牛鲨和虎鲨。鲨鱼是位于海洋食物链最顶端的捕食者。若没有它们,生态系统会发生混乱。在美国东海岸附近,鲨鱼通常以在水底觅食的魟鱼为食。由于鲨鱼数量急剧减少,魟鱼就会趁机吃掉很多扇贝、蛤蜊和牡蛎,使这些物种的数量迅速减少。
Once shark fins are dried and in jars, it is all but impossible to tell what kind of shark they came from or whether they were finned. At one store in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong, a city where half the world’s shark fin is traded, a salesman admits he has no idea whether the fins come from endangered species. His shop does not sell shark meat, and he says it could be true that the carcase is simply tossed into the sea. As well as the cruelty, there is also the incredible waste. The average shark stretches to about 10 bowls of soup.
鲨鱼的鳍一旦被晒干并放入罐里,便几乎无可判断它们来自哪种鲨鱼,或者是否是被割下来的。在鱼翅交易量占全球一半的香港,上环区一家商店的一位销售人员坦承,他不清楚店里的鱼翅是否来自濒危鲨鱼。他的店里不卖鲨鱼肉,并且他表示,鲨鱼的尸体被直接抛回海里可能是真事。岂止是残忍,这也是一种巨大的浪费。平均每条鲨鱼只能加工出大约10碗鱼翅汤。
Certainly, shark fin is traditional. As one writer points out, to ask people to stop eating it is the equivalent of suggesting Americans give up turkey for Thanksgiving. There is doubtless a case for banning other types of food, such as some types of caviar and some species of whale. But cultures are not immutable. Traditions change, especially when they are unsustainable.
不错,鱼翅是一种传统食物。正如一位作家所指出的那样,要求人们不吃鱼翅就好比让美国人过感恩节时不要吃火鸡。我们无疑有理由禁止食用其它食物,比如某类鱼子酱和某些种类的鲸。但文化也不是一成不变的。传统会发生变化,尤其是当它们难以为继的时候。
Fortunately, many of the most prominent campaigners against shark fin are Chinese, with Yao Ming, the recently retired basketball sensation, among the most passionate. In Hong Kong, where shark fin used to be de rigueur at Cantonese banquets, many young people refuse to eat it. Besides, sharks have less cachet now they are siphoned from the oceans on an industrial scale.
值得庆幸的是,在反对吃鱼翅的最著名活动人士之中,许多都是中国人,比如近期退役的篮球明星姚明,就是行动最积极的人士之一。在香港,鱼翅曾是粤宴上的必备菜肴,但如今许多青年人拒绝食用鱼翅。此外,在捕杀鲨鱼实现工业化规模的今天,鱼翅的身价已大不如前。
In Canada, more than a few ethnic Chinese couples have made a show of not serving shark fin at their wedding. Judy Lao recently told the Vancouver Province why she didn’t have it at her reception. “We don’t really care, our friends don’t care, and shark fin has no nutritional value anyway,” she said. “So why should we serve it?” Why indeed.
在加拿大,许多对华裔夫妇已做出表率,在婚宴上不供应鱼翅。Judy Lao最近向《温哥华省报》(Vancouver Province)解释了,为什么她的婚宴没有上鱼翅。“我们并不介意这些,我们的朋友也不介意,再说鱼翅根本也没有什么营养价值,”她表示。“所以,我们为什么要上鱼翅呢?”确实,这有什么必要呢?

最近,有很多关于的事件媒体揭露和报道。我认为人们应该从这些事件中得到一些启示,比如,提高和加强自我保护意识教育,特别是对于儿童和学生。
Children and students are hurt most in this kind of affairs. As a result, to enhance and strengthen their self-protection awareness is indispensable. In addition, to strengthen the awareness of defending danger is also important. If they can realize the potential danger from someone or something before it happens, they can make some preparations to avoid the danger and reduce the rate of being hurt.
因这类事件伤害最大的是儿童和学生。因此,提高和加强自我保护意识是必须的。此外,加强防范危险的意识也是很重要的。如果他们能在事情发生前意识到某人或某事的潜在危险,他们就可以做一些准备来以避免和减少受伤率。
Therefore, I advocate that parents should help their children develop self-protection awareness from birth, such as designing some situation for them to cope with. In addition, parents should teach their children to recognize the danger and how to avoid and reduce the danger from outside. Besides, children also need to develop an excellent ability of observation.
因此,我认为父母应该帮助他们的孩子从出生开始就培养自我保护意识,比如,设计一些情况来让他们应付。父母还应该教导孩子认识危险,如何避免和减少来自外界的危险。此外,孩子也需要培养优秀的观察能力。
In a word, to protect children needs both the effort of parents and children themselves.

Forests have been cut down, automobile exhaust emissions... The first will directly affect our lives, because they let we dare not breathe. So, the best way to deal with these problems is to drive less, ride bikes, and riding a bike is good for you! .

+ 加入清单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 careBecause 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. WhyBecause 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.

动物是自然资源,在整个历史过程中,人类一直在糟蹋着这种资源。人们杀死动物,获得它们的皮毛,把它们当作食物或运动方式,或者只是因为它们碍事。成千上万种动物已经从这个地球上永远地消失了。现在另外上百种动物也上了濒危动物名单。仅荚国大概就有170种被认为处于危险当中。
为什么人们应该感到担忧呢因为我们需要动物,因为它们一旦消失,就永远不会再出现。动物不仅仅是漂亮或有趣。它们不仅仅是人类的食物来
源。在维持自然平衡中,每种动物都有其作用。毁灭某种动物会导致许多问题。比如,农民们如果杀死为数众多的鹰,他们谷物和粮食的仓库就会受到老鼠和田鼠的破坏。 为什么因为鹰吃鼠类,没有鹰控制它们的数量,鼠类就会迅速繁殖。
幸运的是,有些人正在努力帮助拯救这些动物。有些组织筹钱以便人们了解这一问题。他们也努力使政府通过保护濒危动物的法律。很多国家已经通过了法律。这些法律禁止杀害濒危名单上的动植物。某些濒危动物的数目正在慢慢地不断上升。
