Helping animals

Most of people believe that this world is just for them, so they use all the resources,

cutting trees, contaminating rivers and oceans, in short, destroying the planet and the

animals’ habitat. However, this is not true, the earth does not belong to humans; it

belongs to any single living organism. For this reason, humans have to take care more

about the planet, measuring consumerism, but most important save animals, since the

planet is their home too.

It is a fact that evolution makes humans stronger that other species, but that is not a

reason for killing animals and destroying habitats. Humans say that they are not animals;

that they could reason and think, so this makes them better than animals, however this is

the biggest lie ever; humans are not better than animals, humans are just stronger

evolutionary speaking, nevertheless animals have similar rights, thus humans’ duty is to

protect them as equal. Some people would say that it is impossible to save animals, if they

could not even save themselves, so humans should start form the begging, taking care of

their problems, but at the same time taking care of the animals and the whole world.

Pollution, deforestation, contamination and global warming are some examples of

environmental problems, so humans need to be aware of these problems and start

putting in progress solutions. There are so many ways to solve these problems, for

example, recycling, disconnecting electronic devices that are not in used, using products

that help the environment, and many more. Putting in practice these solutions is not

something easy, but in the long term humans would not regret, because it would be the

salvation for animals and for them too.

In conclusion, humans are responsible for saving the planet; first because they have most

of the blame of the current condition of the earth; second because, as kings of the earth,

humans have to reign in a good way, taking care of their subjects; but most important

because this planet is humans and animals home, and it would be great that both of them

could live long and prosper.
