Be Kind to Animals Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We are here today to launch the Save Our Animals Week. Many species of animals are already extinct and many more will disappear from the face of the earth if we do not stop destroying them. Although the hunting of protected animals has been banned, there are still people killing animals as a sport or to make a profit. Pollution is also killing our animals. There is a great decrease in the amount of fish in our rivers because our rivers have become common dumping grounds. I call on you today to report to the authorities those that you know who are hunting animals. On your part, stop disposing rubbish into rivers. Remember that animals are living things like us and we should treat them as our friends instead of pushing them to extinction. Thank you. 7) The speech is most likely targeted at A people keep pets at home B people who have children C animal lovers D everybody 8) The phrase from the face of the earth means A forever C in certain places
