Zoos by Jaden Shorrock

Today I want to talk to you about zoos and their purpose.  Should animals be kept in zoos?  What would happen to them if they were left in the wild?  There are people in foreign countries who kill these wild animals for their skins, fur and bones.  Some are used for medicines!  This is cruel. 

There are only around 2,500 Bengal tigers left in the wild.  The Javan rhino is one of the most endangered species of animal, with only 40-60 of them left.  The pagolin has been on the Red list since 2014 and is the most trafficked animal in the world! 

We need to support all the zoos in the world to make sure these animals have the chance to live a good life.  Why would you not want to save the wild animals?  Why would anyone not want to see these lovely animals in a safe environment? 

I feel we should support all our zoos and continue to keep these places alive to protect the animals.  We have a duty to give all animals a chance. 

A zoo keeps them safe.  There are breeding programmes in place to keep them going.  These animals need our support to make sure they never become extinct.  A zoo is a nice place to go for a day out as well as being a way for us to see these animals close up.  Without the zoos, we would never see them. 

I hope I have given you something to think about and that you will continue to support these wonderful places.  They will be there for many years to come - and hopefully with many animals kept from extinction! 

Thank you for listening.

We Should Get Rid of School Uniform

I hate a lot of things about the world: people going on their phones why I'm trying to talk to them, slow walkers, homework.  But today I'm going to speak about something that all children and even parents will agree with.  We should get rid of school uniform.  If we could change anything about schools, it should 100% be the uniform.  Children wake up every morning dreading having to wear that irritating, uncomfortable white shirt shirt with the strangling collar yet again.  It's a pain in the neck (quite literally!).  Even parents hat the thought of school uniform.  Every year you have to rush around making sure your children have all the correct uniform ready and worry that you have forgotten something.  Not only that, but it costs a lot of money to buy uniform.  My parents spent hundreds of pounds for mine and my three siblings' uniforms this year.  Not everyone has the money to do that.  This money could have been better spe...

An Animal's Worst Nightmare

As a child, there's nothing more exciting than hearing the phrase, "We're going to the zoo".  Even parents enjoy going because they get the chance to see animals they would never have seen otherwise.  However, as much as it is a pleasure for us, being in a zoo is an animal's worst nightmare. To start off with, keeping animals in cages is cruel.  They are supposed to have freedom and be in their natural environment.  In some zoos, there isn't enough room for them to roam, which will increase the animal's boredom.  This could lead to animal getting irritated and agitated.  An example of this is when you see lions pacing up and down after having children tap and bang on the glass enclosures.  These poor animals!  What did they do wrong in order for us to lock them up?  Personally for me, although I'm sure many of you will also agree, I would much rather see my siblings being kept in these cages - not these innocent, desperate animals.

Ignoring The Inevitable

Imagine a world where everybody could see what was happening and change the disastrous future.   What if you could learn the obvious fate and change it for the better? Did You know that every second a football field of rain forest is lost - seven of them by time you’ve read this? Well now you do. You could donate, reach your fingers to the keyboard and select the amount, saving trees, animals, and plants ,supporting the villages around them. But you just don’t care. We all must not do so. We all must change and help. Another example of ignoring the inevitable is cutting down trees for Biomass energy, conservable, that can be used again.   What’s the problem? The dirty energy that is needed for this, and the energy that   is needed when the trees are not in full supply. The fauna that evacuates from their homes, having to leave their nests that are doomed to fall from a great height, cracking the eggs with a squelch and the offspring falling down wi...
