• Writer’s position:
There needs to be a new law to protect
endangered species: People who are
caught buying or selling products made
from endangered species should be forced
to do community service.
Reasons: If people had to do community service wor
king with endangered animals, they might understand how destructive their business is.

ty service is necessary.
