Ways of Endangerment• Global Warming- unwanted waste in the air that unbalances the

climate and makes holes in the O-Zone• Human Causes-1. Deforestation- People destroy animals habitats, by cutting down

trees and forests2. Swamp draining- When people drain water from swamps, leaving no

water and harmful soil behind.3. Poaching- People killing animals for their fur, skin, and heads for

money.4. Food- People kill them to eat, so they can have yummy, tasty meals.5. Oil spills- Spilling oil in the ocean is harmful enough to kill animals6. Animal Testing- testing things on animals to try to find a cure for

diseases, but yet killing the animals. • Natural Causes- environmental causes of extinction of animals.

Some examples of this are: lack of genetic variation and natural selection.

Reasons to Save Them!

• Tourist attraction- Animals are a major tourist attraction. These

animals can bring up to $40 billion dollars a year. Animals are great for whale watching, zoos, aquariums, petting zoo’s, and many more.

• Foundation for a healthy ecosystem-With out animals in our ecosystem, ecosystems would fail. This would slowly cause Earth to crumble into nothing, but a lifeless planet.

• Helpers of humans- Some animals, like the dog, are very helpful

towards humans. Some animals can be eye seeing pets, money bringing pets, like in the circus, or even comforting pets.

Ways of saving animals!• Movements-

In 1970 there was a movement that tried to forbid from littering and killing animals. This movement was unsuccessful, though.

• Animal saving groups-There are many animal saving groups in the world, like PETA, ASPCA, The Humane Society, STARS, and ect. These groups work to spread animal compassion across the U.S.A. They also try to raise money, to save these injured, or poor endangered animals.

• Farm Sanctuaries-Groups of people who try to stop farm cruelties. Some farm cruelties are like branding, tagging, and animal labor.
