When an animal attacks a person, there are always stories about it on TV and in the newspapers. But people are usually more
dangerous than animals. Every year, we kill approximately 100
million sharks, but sharks only attack three or four people, and
crocodiles six or seven. More people die in accidents with chairs!
Animals aren't really a problem for people, but we are a problem
for animals. We eat millions of tonnes of fish and meat every year.
But people don't kill animals just for food. They also hunt them
for fur or for fun. While you're reading this, people are hunting
animals all over the world.
At the moment, animals are becoming extinct in every part of the
world. The 'red list of animals in danger in Kazakhstan includes
species of horses, leopards, wild dogs, lynx, otter, bats and bears.
We aren't killing all these animals directly, but they are dying and
becoming
extinct because of human behaviour. Our pollution and
construction is changing the climate, and animals' habitats, and
time is running out for some animals. It's important to change our
actions now and save the animals! перевод
