Reasons to be Kind to Animals

Humans have hunted many kinds of animals in the past for their fur or shells. The Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle is one of those animals. The estimated number of nesting females in the year of 1947 was 89,000 but it dove to an estimated 1,000 by the mid 1980s. It was listed as endangered for the first time in the United States on December 2, 1970. Another product from almost extinct animals was ivory. The animals that were killed for their tusks or ivory were elephant, hippopotamus, walrus, mammoth and narwhal. When these animals were nearly extinct the government put a law for not killing these animals. The elephant, hippopotamus, walrus, mammoth and narwhal were saved, but the Kemp’s Ridley turtle was already extinct. Now there are conservation groups who take care of these animals. These animal populations have improved a lot after the conservation groups were created. People still hunt for these animals illegally, but honest people always remain honest and follow the rules.

Animals are useful to us in many ways. Camels are used a lot for traveling in the deserts. Cows are one of the most used animals. They are in agriculture or farming for plowing in India. They are also the milk-giving deities. They produce a lot of products such as cheese and curd. Another animal is the elephant. It is used to lift heavy things like lumber or wood. Animals are useful to us in many so we should be kind to them and take care of them.
