WALT: We are learning to write a persuasive speech.
Do animals deserve the same care as humans?
Imagine being some sort of animal sitting in a cage for your life. Well people treat animals like that. Imagine if that was you, would you like to be sitting in a cage for your life?
No, I don't think you would, so you need to stop being cruel to animals. If you have a dog or something that is always tied up let it off for a big run, take it for a walk or something. Help animals and stop being cruel.
Without some animals we would not be alive right now. Stop taking animals homes, like the forest. People cut down all the trees in forests and take everything away from it and then all the animals have no place to live.
4. Imagine a big animal coming into your home and destroying everything. That's how it feels for animals, but animals don't hurt you that much. They might attack you sometimes but that is because you are in their home.
5. They might think you're going to hurt them and they get scared so they attack but they don't attack for no reason. They only attack or do something for a reason.
6. If they attack or hurt you, don’t lock them away and start being cruel to them, think about what you have done to cause the attack. Try telling people to stop being cruel to animals and give animals a good home.
7. Also, don’t litter because if you litter all the rubbish will end up in the sea. And if it ends up in the sea all the animals that live in the sea will eat it, and if the animals eat the rubbish they will die. So you need to stop littering and tell people to stop littering. You need to look after animals. Over 1 million marine animals die from litter each year and that is not good, you need to stop littering.
8. Why do we need to take animals from the wild and lock them up in cages at zoos for people to come and look at them for their entertainment. It is not very nice for the animals.
9. What if you were that animal in the cage, would you like it if you were locked up in a cage for your life while people look at you?
10. Did you know that there are 600,000 birds and mammals kept in the world's zoos. That is not good, you need to stop doing that and try telling people to stop.
11. I hope all of us can learn to be more respectful towards things and animals. Animals have feelings and emotions too. They have families too.
12. We need to stop being cruel to animals, stop killing them and we need to be kind to them and help them. I hope you have all listened carefully to what I've said.
