1As we all know，animals are humans’ best friends.Animals are valuable resources(资源) that
are helpful to us all through our history.However，many kinds of animals are in danger now！Animals
have been killed for their fur and feathers，for food，for entertainment，or simply because they are
in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever so far.Hundreds
more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in
danger.It is high time that we should pay more attention to how to protect these animals on the earth.
Why should we care about the animals in danger？Because animals help us a lot and we need
animals.Once they are gone，there will never be any more.Animals are more than just beautiful or
interesting.They are more than just a source(来源) of food.Every animal has its place in the balance
