Chopping down of wood!


I think people killing animals for fur and other selfish reasons like that is just wrong. When people cut down trees, they are getting rid of a source of oxygen as well as killing animals! People are getting better now as they do replant trees but 10,000 years of trees have been cut down in 30 years! Lots of animals are endangered because of this! When people buy new wooden furniture they don't think about all the animals being killed, for that wood!

Ligers


A liger is a cross breed between a male lion and a female tiger. (Not a Tigon, a female lion and a male tiger). Ligers are very rare as it is unlikely ligers will reproduce! Ligers are not hunted because they are very rare and the few that remain live in the world are kept in captivity!

Whaling!



Whales are one of the most beautiful animals alive and they are being killed off for soaps and margarine! It's horrible! These wonderful mammals are on the edge of extinction! In the mid 1900's the Blue Whales were almost wiped out! We have to do something before its too late!


"In the 1980s the IWC banned all commercial whaling, meaning that companies cannot catch whales and then sell them for a profit. However, the commission allowed some native peoples to continue hunting whales for their own use. Some countries, including Norway and Japan, continued to hunt whales commercially despite the ban."
