«Have they got a future?«

Many animals and birds on the Earth are disappearing nowadays.Many of them are in danger.Indian tigers and African elephants are among them.People have hunted and killed many tigers in India and a lot of elephants in Africa.Why?

Tigers and elephants are often dangerous animals.Tigers can kill cows,sheep,other domestic animals and sometimes they can also kill men.Some people are afraid of tigers and kill them to save their domestic animals and their lives.But some people have often hunted tigers for fun and for their beautiful skin.They can easily sell the skin and get a lot of money as the prices are high.

The result is very sad.There are few Indian tigers on the Earth now.Many of them are usually old,sick animals.Most tigers don’t hunt people nowadays,but hide from them in deep,dark forests.Or they rather hid there earlier,because there aren’t many forests for tigers nowadays.People have cut down many trees.And the question is: «Have those animals got a future?«
