A lot of animals die because of people’s fault. The number of species is diminishing nowadays. The reason for it is the slighting attitude to ecology. But not everybody thinks that it is a serious problem.                                  

There are two opinions on this issue: some people suppose the animal’s death not to be a vital issue nowadays. Others disagree with them. I think that the latter opinion is right.

The disappearance of animals is a very important problem. Firstly, a lot of species are helpful for people. Animals give us food, clothes, and different materials. Secondly, every species is the result of evolution, and we destroy millennial legacy killing animals. Thirdly, no one living creature deserves death. Every being has the right to live.

But some people think that the rescue of animals is a waste of money. There are more important things to pay attention to. A lot of animals are also dangerous.

In my opinion, they are not right. The rescue of lives can not be in vain. The correct treatment of animals is the guarantee of your safety.

Luckily it is possible to save a lot of lives, and we will be able to do it if we want. But it was just my opinion. Unfortunately, some people think otherwise.  

Winter holidays are a very fun time. And let them be considered long, I did not waste time for nothing. Morning of my weekend began with a charge and a delicious Mom's breakfast. In the afternoon, my friends and I went to a skating rink, sometimes skiing in the city park. And on weekends, we and my dad traveled for the city, where we went skiing and tobogganing. As the dad explained to me, the tubes are rubber inflatable circles on which to roll from the mountain. From the speed I was breathtaking and I even screamed with delight! In the evenings, I played with my sister and sometimes sat at a computer, communicating through the Internet with my relatives from another city. Before bed I definitely read the book.
