Along with the development and modernization of our city, the environment is constantly worsening. Among all the problems, the most serious one we are facing now is the extinction of animals.
The products which are made of animal fur, or even body have become much more popular recently, for they are considered as the symbol of power and wealth on account of their rarity and high prize. So in order to make much money, more and more people are massively hunting down the endangered animal such as sharks for shark fin soup, elephants for ivories, rhinos for horns and so on.
First of all, there should be some propaganda explaining the consequences such behavior and correcting people’s wrong opinions of the products. Besides, the government should set up laws to restrict this trade and industry and anyone who breaks it will be severely punished. Last but not least, more wildlife reserves should be set up to prevent the hunters from killing the animals illegally.
All in all, human beings should raise their awareness of this problem for the earth belongs to ourselves, human can no longer exist if animals die out. As the proverb goes, “No trade, no killing.”Together, our actions can make a difference and lead to a better life when both human and animals live on the earth harmoniously.
