Should animals be used in show business?
Animals are being used in show business and you are probably thinking why is that so bad?
We all love watching TV and movies with animals.
But do you know how badly they are treated behind the cameras?
An elephant got wiped so hard that it fell over. A poor little dog got forced into a very strong current just for a movie. In Lord of the Rings, 27 animals were killed during the filming.
I disagree that animals are used in show business. I disagree that animals should be kept in small cages, mistreated and killed for our entertainment.
Animals in show business are taken from their natural habitat. They get one little cage and that one little cage never gets cleaned. About 70% of animals get kept in little cages for the entertainment industry. 35% of animals get taken out of the wild also for the entertainment industry.
Animals in show business are sad and mrisabale. 10 million animals die a year from being abused for human entertainment. In 2005 62% of animals in Greece were diagnosed with depression from being abused. These animals were punished for doing a trick wrong.
Animals go insane from being filmed to be in movies and TV shows. 9 animals went insane. Like a bear in a zoo was circling for ages and 4 elephants were swaying because of being treated wrong. This is wrong because animals do not deserve it,they can not speak for themselves.
In conclusion I disagree that animals should be used in show business just for out entertainment. Animals are treated wrongly like they don't get their natural habitat, they are sad and miserable and they go insane.
Dear Bobby,
Welcome to New Zealand. I must of been a long journey for you but I bet you will like this new country. Here are some show and what they sell Paknsave is were you can buy food, Farmlands you can buy stuff for your farm. Te Ahu is a library and movies and postie place is were you can buy clothes. I go to Ahipara school and my favourite pets are my horses Ori and shadow and charlie. My favourite food is hot chips and donuts and my favourite animals are horses! If I could go any where in the world I would go to NZ!
Today Shayelah came in to talk to us about her business of making cakes. Shayelah has been making cakes for 10 years and she is a good cake maker. I learned that she can make up to 15 cakes in a week. She is a sole trader which means shes does everything herself. Maths is very important in baking because you have to measure, and count money, pay tax. Here is a link to her website link! .
I live on a farm in Peria, Northland. This is a 40 minute drive from Ahipara. Farm life is a bit different to Ahipara.
In Ahipara there are beaches , sand dunes ,and lots of kids. In Peria, I see animals in paddocks eating grass and hay , motorbikes driving down the bumpy gravel , rivers rushing through the rocks and rusty old fences that need to be fixed.
Ahipara and Peria are different because Ahipara has beaches with big waves. On our farm there are a animals in paddocks and rivers rushing through the rocks. They are similar because they both get noisy from tractors and kids playing outside.
Country clothing
Country clothing is mainly checked pattern , worn out jeans , designed belts and gumboots. Lots of farm cloths are light so when you go do farm work you do not get to hot. checked tops prevent getting scratched from hay bales.
I notice that More than 2,000 migrants have crossed the sea on small boats in June that set a new record. I wonder if they used petrol or diesel and I also wonder how much the used? I think it is safe to cross if the person know how to drive the boat.
My least favourite part was making the movement because it was hard
Today we were doing flyers about our explanation. My explanation was on kiwis so I had to do a flyer about kiwis. I learned that cat are predators to kiwis. I really enjoyed decorating the flyer my lest favourite part was having to do it side ways.
