What danger does Millie think the wild animals face?
What idea does Millie’s mother come up with to protect them?
People hunt them for their fur, bones or other parts of the body. As a result, they lose their lives.
People shouldn’t buy fur coats any more.
It’s a great pity!

Dear Sir or Madam,
We are writing to tell you about some wild animals in danger.
Tigers are big and strong. They have very bright eyes. Tigers like to live alone. There are not many tigers in the world now. Tigers are in danger because people catch them for their fur, bones or other parts of the body.
Wolves are not very big. They can see, hear and smell things far away. They often work as a team. Sadly, they have fewer and fewer living areas, and people kill them because they think wolves are dangerous to humans. They are now in danger.
We think we should help these animals.
Yours sincerely
Millie Daniel
