Wild animals have no place in the 21st century.Some people think that preventing these wild animals from dying out is a waste of resource.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.Biological diversity has never been so threatened as it is today as a result of the process of human civilization.The various forms of pressure created by human activity have destroyed natural balance, led to the deterioration of natural habitats, genetic erosion and the rarity, even disappearance, of a number of plant and animal species.As the pace of civilization accelerates, more people, taking more space, needing to use more natural resources, engaging in ever-growing consumption, impose severe deterioration on the habitat of animals.An increasing number of people come to realize that the disappearance of animals will result in serious threat to the equilibrium of ecosystem.Simply put, the extinction of hawks, a rat-eating bird seen in many

regions, will result in the rapid propagation of rats.And rats, further, will destroy the prairies and threaten the other animals like gazelles, zebras and others, who live on grass and green lands.The coexistence of animals and human beings creates perfect harmony and brings about the vividness to our planet.It is hard to imagine what our world would be like without animals.Sociologists also point out that the disappearance of animals can cause social and economic problems.Animal trade, as a supporting sector to the world economy, was very active before.However, the situation is beyond control since animal trade is very profitable and alluring.Many species cannot escape the adversity of being killed.Certainly, our diet cannot be without meat.There are living stocks, which can provide us with sufficient and nutritious produce.Therefore, we need not to resort to wild animals, especially the endangered ones.To protect animals is to protect our living environment.Every individual should join efforts to keep the diversity of animals.资料来源:教育优选 http://www.xiexiebang.com/
第三篇:保护动物作文
一 保护动物
There are more and more endangered animals at present, so how to protect them has been our task of top priority.It's wrong for people to hunt animals for their meat and feather, for they are our good friends.We should protect them instead of killing them.First of all we should carry out rules and laws to protect animals.Secondly we should propagate that animal have the same basic equal living right as we do.What’s more we should stop destroying their homeland.Everyone should be aware of the point that without animal we can't make it alone.First should realize the importance of protecting endangered animals, to protect
endangered animals and habitats, to promote the wildlife conservation and management of the laws and regulations
首要应该认识保护濒危动物的重要性,自觉保护濒危动物及其栖息环境,主动向亲友宣传野生动物保护管理的法律法规
Second is to use the source of the endangered animals and do not eat, no, not keeping the source of the endangered animals or products, especially in the wild birds, turtles snakes其次是拒绝利用野外来源的濒危动物,做到不吃、不用、不养野外来源的濒危动物或其产品,尤其是野生鸟类、蛇类和龟鳖类

最后要坚决揭发破坏濒危动物资源的不法行为,积极为濒危动物保护部门或单位献计献策或捐资捐款,支持濒危动物保护管理工作
二环保
(energy)With the development of our society, energy in the world becomes more and more limited, so it is quite important for us to save energy and to protect our environment.There are a lot of methods we can do to save energy at home.For example, first, we can turn off the light as well as other appliances when we are not using them.Second, recycle the waste water, paper and other waste so that we can reuse them.What's more, it is suggested to use public transportation more instead of private cars.Above all, everyone can make a great contribution to our environment.I hope I can learn more to develop new and clear energy, like energy from the wind and solar
(pollute)With the development of our society ,the problems of environmental protection become more and more serious in recent years.One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil.the polluted air does great harm to people’s health.The polluted water causes diseases and death.What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot.Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution.Therefore, governments are
playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures.First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education.Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution.Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished.We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.保护环境 目前环保还存在着许多问题。最严重的问题就是空气、水和土壤的严重污染。污染的空气对人类的健康十分有害。污染的水引起疼病造成死亡。更有甚者随着现代社会的迅速扩建植被大大的减少。为了保护环境各国政府做了大量的工作。采用了立法措施控制大气污染保护森林资源和海洋资源制止任何环境污染。因此在当今的环保中政府起着最重要的作用。我的看法是为了保护环境政府应当采取更具体的措施。首先应当通过教育的方法使人们充分謒到环境保护的重要性。第二应更加努力把计划生育政策付诸实施因为人口多就意味着污染严重。最后要严惩那些故意破坏环境者。使他们破坏环境就是毁灭人类自己

第五篇:保护动物
拿什么拯救你小海豹?
张丹
加拿大每年都要商业猎杀几十万只海豹。几十万只无辜生灵让我们旗帜鲜明地对加拿大海豹制品说不!血染雪原的惨景相信曾令无数善良的人们过目难忘刻骨铭心。可这跟万里之外的中国有什么关系吗?有。因为中国正迅速成为海豹制品全球最大的新兴消费市场之一。
中国好像是被人给盯上了。什么人都哭着喊着要把自己个儿那不大兴盛的“国粹”贩卖到中国来。先有西班牙斗牛士公司要把在本国日渐式微的西班牙斗牛“原汁原味”地输出到中国来合资打造亚洲最大的斗牛场;接着日本政府为维持其捕鲸“传统”、解决其国内鲸鱼制品消费减少、库存积压的难题,跑到中国来“叫卖”鲸鱼肉;现在又有加拿大渔业部长因该国海豹制品遭欧盟等明令禁止进口而视中国为最大的新兴市场和救星,要把海豹皮、海豹肉、海豹内脏、海豹油、海豹鞭等一股脑推销给中国消费者„„谁让地球人都知道中国人民钱包鼓了,都知道中国人民热爱世界文化的“优秀成果”呢!
拜托!中国与虐待动物有关的问题够多的了,不需要任何类似西班牙斗牛、日本鲸鱼肉和加拿大海豹制品之类的“外援”。如果又以老掉牙的“文化传统”来忽悠人那还是趁早歇了吧,将心比心,要不要我们把活熊取胆、吃猫吃狗的“传统”也输入到你们那疙瘩去试试?!我们需要引进的是与时俱进、真正造福于千秋万代、所有生命共同体共享的世界文明的优秀成果,而不是类似加拿大海豹
制品这样的血腥产品。
但凡需要被保护的注定都是境况堪忧的弱者。被爱称为“大眼睛的海洋精灵”的海洋哺乳动物“海豹分布在全球各处海域,也出现在神秘的贝加尔湖。它们在陆地上憨态可掬,在水中却优雅自如;它们和人类拥有相近的体温,却将极地的严寒视若等闲。尽管拥有强大的生存能力和惹人怜爱的外表,它们却不能幸免于全球变暖和海洋污染的威胁,更不能逃离人类逐利的棍棒和枪口。为了保护它们,人们把每年的3月1日定为‘国际海豹日’”。这是一段在介绍海豹及国际海豹日时经常被人引用的文字。
让我们看看猎杀海豹是怎样一个营生吧。目前,全世界共有五个国家允许商业海豹猎杀,它们分别是加拿大、格陵兰岛、纳米比亚、挪威和俄罗斯。每年商业捕杀约30万只海豹的加拿大居世界之首,该国政府支持这一捕杀行动。近三年,加拿大猎杀了近100万头海豹。动物保护组织称,这意味着每出生3头海豹就有至少1头被杀。一年一度的海豹捕杀场面极为血腥。为了完整地剥下海豹皮卖个好价钱,许多海豹被顶端带有尖钩的棍棒活活打死,接近一半的海豹仍在清醒状态即被扒皮。海豹们遭棒打或枪击后不会马上死亡,而是承受着巨大痛苦慢慢死去。如果被杀的是母海豹则当场开膛剥皮、剥剩的血肉弃于原地。如是公海豹则用铁钩穿过脑袋上的窟窿拖到渔船上送进加工厂加工。如果这还不够惨,那么还有一个更令人触目惊心的事实是,被残杀的海豹中有80%是处于12天至1岁的幼年海豹-那些混沌未开、还没来得对这个世界说声“你好!”的毛茸茸、大眼睛的小天使们。近年来那些“聪明的脑瓜”
针对东方市场又想出了从海豹身上赚钱的新门路,那就是所谓的海豹鞭市场。其猎取手段也更加残忍——活生生地将雄海豹的生殖器用斧头剁下然后弃之如敝履。
在物质严重匮乏的年代,海豹曾因“浑身是宝”而使猎杀海豹在该国东海岸地区成为一项“传统产业”。而今加拿大早已步入最发达国家之列,猎杀海豹所获得的收益不及主要猎杀区纽芬兰省财政总收入的1%、渔业总收入的1.2%(美国人道对待动物协会和国际爱护动物基金会2005年数据)。根据加拿大政府网站公布的数据,2009年的商业海豹猎杀所带来的经济效益不足100万欧元。绝大部分加拿大人对此持反对态度,2005年的民意调查结果显示,69%的加拿大人反对商业海豹猎杀,而77%的人反对政府资助海豹猎杀。“海豹捕猎的最大受益者是部分政客,他们利用海豹贸易来赢得加拿大东部(主要是指纽芬兰省)的选票。”
对于这一堪称“当今世界上对于海洋哺乳动物最大规模的血腥屠杀”,全球各地的反对之声一浪高过一浪。经过国际动物权益组织数年的呼吁,2009年5月5日,欧洲议会以压倒性多数通过了一项法案,在欧盟范围内全面禁止进口海豹制品,其中包括海豹毛皮、海豹油及其所有相关产品,并于去年8月正式对27个会员国执行禁令。此举使得全球各地的众多消费者也纷纷开始拒买海豹皮制品,导致该国出产的海豹皮制品滞销,价格也随之大跌。一张海豹皮的价格若干年前为100多美元,目前已跌至14美元。各界有识之士强烈呼吁在全球范围内关闭海豹制品的消费市场,“这样就可以从源头上结束海豹制品贸易。”
面对欧洲、美国和全球各地的抵制浪潮,加国主管部门垂死挣扎,想出各种馊招。2010年03月12日晚,央视“东方时空”播出了题为“加拿大抗议欧盟禁令 国会办‘海豹宴’”的新闻。其中一个长着“标准鞋拔子脸”的男政客将一块海豹肉塞进嘴里大嚼,还夸张地闭上眼睛作出“好吃极了”的手势,那副嘴脸着实令人作呕,难怪被用作该条新闻的题图照片。为了“维持加拿大海豹皮业的生机”,世界最大的毛皮产品生产国和出口国、世界裘革最具潜力的消费市场中国被该国联邦渔业部长舍雅(Gail Shea)锁定为救市出路,咱们中国何其“有幸”!
虽然有地方政府和企业的支持(项目的合作方是我们这个共和国首都的怀柔区),西班牙斗牛项目二度在国内外的反对声浪中告吹;日本人似乎也未能成功地向中国人推销据说是高蛋白低脂肪的鲸鱼肉。现在,轮到我们在海豹制品问题上作出取舍了。
拿什么拯救你,大眼睛的海中精灵-海豹?
没有买卖,就没有杀戮。
该是结束这一残忍而过时的产业的时候了。
一件事,如果可以在开始不久的时候就把它做正确了,这样的机会不是天天都有。披头士乐队主力成员之
一、坚定的反猎杀海豹者保罗·麦卡特尼(Paul McCartney)说过类似的话:“成千上万只海豹的命运掌握在我们的手中„„不久以后我们就将遇到一次
历史机会,阻止海豹制品在我们的国家流通。”
这一回,多么希望钱包日鼓的同胞们旗帜鲜明地对加拿大海豹制品、对所有海豹制品大声而坚定地说“不”!
尊敬的消费者,请慎用、善用您每一次购物时的选择权、投票权、生杀予夺权。
请闭目片刻,想想您曾经在哪里看到过的那些图片,那些天使般的纯真眼神、那些雪白与血红„„
这是海豹的机会。
这是我们的机会。
