William's view of "Animal Allies"

Animals aren’t really my passion, but as all things, they deserve rights.  Just like in the 1960’s there was the civil rights movement, we need to campaign for the stop of animal abuse and mistreatment. Sure, people have been saying that we need to help animals for decades now, but we need to take initiative and really push to the point that animals don’t have a worry in their mind.

Why? First of all, animals have equal claim to this earth and its resources as much as we do. This means that we cannot destroy their habitats and hunt them down just for trophies. Have you ever seen a lion kill a human just so it could hang that person’s head on a wall? No! In fact, the only lions kill humans in the first place is because they are provoked.  Another reason is because people need the animals. If one falls, it damages an entire ecosystem, and due to the butterfly effect, it would affect us humans, which nobody would like to happen.   

After reading articles from organizations like peta and the website that chungtai found, I learned a lot more in specifics about endangered animals, habitats in jeopardy, etc. it’s taught me that there are many liable reasons that people should save animals and protect ecosystems, one, being its cruciality to all life, and also because animals have feelings, they have needs and wants, just like humans.  That I think was the most important thing I learned through research.
