My Reflection On The Process
I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to talk about when I first heard that we had to write a persuasive essay. I picked a topic about animals since animals mean a lot to me and everyone should treat animals with respect. The writing was not easy but the research was very fun. I felt it was easy to find a lot of information and pictures to go with the text. I learned a lot from doing this as a slideshow that I can use for more projects in the future.
My Essay on Poaching
PERSUASIVE WRITING
In my opinion, people are not doing enough to protect animals. People do a lot of bad things to animals like poaching, testing products on them and destroying their homes.
People called poachers are illegal hunters and they kill animals to earn money. Poachers kill elephants for their tusks. Then they use them for ivory, piano keys, jewelry and sculptures. People also kill whales for the blubber.They use blubber to make oil and soap. Sometimes people kill animals for fun. They just kill them so they can bring home so-called trophies and display them in their homes. This is so wrong and people don’t realize that this will lead to a lot of animals being orphans because they lose their parents. Also, some animals will eventually become extinct and it will mess up the food chain for the whole world!!
People test a lot of things on animals that hurt their eyes and skin. It causes the animals a lot of pain. They test different things on animals, like hair products, make up, soaps and lotions. This can cause painful skin burns. Also, a lot of medications are being tested on animals to make sure it is safe for humans.
People are destroying animal habitats all around the world. They are cutting down all the trees and then the animals will not have a safe place to live. People also pollute water by throwing garbage with chemicals into it. Animals also die by forest fires. People are not careful of their campfires and burn down forests with them
People smoke cigarettes and cigars and that pollutes our air, this air is dangerous for humans and animals to breathe in.
Global warming is melting icebergs which is forcing the animals to land away from their home and food supply like polar bears and penguins. This is causing animals to die and possibly lead to extinction
