comments 

Personally I don’t like the pets, I consider that they require a lot of time and care, I think that the pets need the same attention that children, they are like a son. There are cats which scare me like black cats and others who inspire me tenderly. I think that the cats are beautiful animals, but I would not have a pet in my house. If someday i have a big house, and a lot of time maybe I will have a dog like a pet but not a cat.

Technology Helps Save Elephants and Rhinos




Hello, my name is Angie Delgado, I´m a student of fifth level of English, and this is a reading and writing practice. this is my first new

I am going to talk about a new of a newspaper called voice of America .The current history is about technology invention that aims to save elephants and rhinos of hunters.

SUMMARY

Technology Helps Save Elephants and Rhinos 




This is an article that was written by  Jim Tedder, he presents a program of a group who are working to save the African elephants and rhinos from poachers. Initially they will focus their attention on Kenya
The group of  Wildlife Conservation Society pretends to achieve help from African governments to avoid the extinction of those animals.


They require from Governments around 80 million dollar in order to achieve the goal of reduce the killing. This investment will be for strengthening intelligence, technology GPS units for the rangers and microchip installation in animal bodies. On the other hand, Wildlife Conservation Society pretends to help rhinos too, those animals are persecuted by horns, the poachers sell the horns rhinos which are used for medical usage in others countries.


COMMENTS

I think that this is a good idea of Wildlife Conservation Society group, because recently many animals are involved in a constant abuse that only benefits to human. I think that every country should include in their government policies, different forms of protection to animals, and also protect the forest and prevent logging

In Colombia for example, the local government polices foster anti-bullfighting campaigns, and besides the parliament banned the use of animals in circuses, right now the circuses has two year maximum for stop working with animals.
