Animal cruelty should stop

by Carissa Imagine people hurting animals and punishing them for no reason. Please read on to find out why we should not do these things. I think animal cruelty should stop because people hurt their pets. People don’t give the proper care either. People kill them for no reason. Here are some reasons.

I think animal cruelty should stop because people hurt their pets. One time I saw a little puppy chewing on a shoe and the owner came outside and hit the puppy with a piece of wood!

Animal cruelty should stop because people don’t give them the proper care. Here is a reason. I think animal cruelty should stop because people don’t feed them how many times they should be fed. You’re supposed to feed them twice a day with food and water.

Animal cruelty should stop because people are killing them for no reason.

A year later they put the dog down just for protecting the family.

I think animal cruelty should stop because people are hurting animals, people don’t give the proper care for animals, and kill them for no reason! Now, bear with me no more animal cruelty. It should be against the law.

Do not litter

by Andrew Everyone should not litter because imagine an ocean full of trash two times the size of Texas. And that is what our ocean looks like right now. Our oceans should not look like that. We should not litter because it hurts animals and it looks bad.

One reason we should not litter is because our oceans are full of trash. The ocean is full of trash right now two times the size of Texas.

Another reason we should not litter is because it hurts animals. For example, It is killing off species of animals in the ocean.

The last reason we should not litter is because it looks bad. For example, It is not fun to clean up, so do not do it.

In conclusion, we have to stop throwing trash into the ocean and stop killing animals instead save the animals. You should tell your friends and family to stop littering. Everyone should not litter because it is bad for our communities and for us. You should not litter because it is not good for our Earth.
