How to protect animals
Animals are our good friends. But now more and more animals are in danger. As a friend of animals, what should we do to protect them First, I think we should learn to live with animals in peace, so we must stop killing wild animals. Second, we can't cut down so many trees, because we are taking away their homes. As a result, we should plant more and more trees. Finally the government should set up more nature parks for them. I think if we love animals and we are kind to them,our life will be better and better.
