DANGER! HUMANS!
Which is more dangerous: a shark, a chair or a person?
When an animal attacks a person, there are always stories about it on TV and in the
newspapers. But people are usually more dangerous than animals. Every year, we kill
approximately 100 million sharks, but sharks only attack three or four people, and
crocodiles six or seven. More people die in accidents with chairs.
Animals aren’t really a problem for people, but we are a problem for animals. People
hunt animals for food or for fun. While you’re reading this, people are hunting whales
in the Arctic and elephants in Africa. And every day we eat millions of tonnes of fish
and meat.
At the moment animals are becoming extinct in every part of the world. The ‘red list’
includes insects, frogs, chameleons, fish and bigger animals like bears and whales. We
aren’t killing all of these animals directly, but pollution and construction are changing
our climate and the habitats of animals. Now it’s important to stop and think the
consequences!
3) ABOUT THE TEXT. Answer the following questions:
1. How many sharks do we kill every year?
2. Why do people hunt animals?
3. What animals does the ‘red list’ include?
