Most people love animals because they are useful in many ways. They add more fun to our life.

   We find many different kinds of animals on the earth. Some animals, such as leopards, wolves, pandas and foxes live in big forests. They are called wild animals. Most of them are dangerous. Some others like cows and dogs live with men. They are called domestic animals.

      Animals are important to men. Men catch wild animals for fur and meat. Skins of foxes and crocodiles can be made into coats and shoes. People are now stopped from killing wild animals in order to protect their lives. Domestic animals can not only give men food, but also help men with some farm work. Without them, life could be less fun and mere difficult. People get meat from sheep and pigs. From cows, we get milk. Horses can take us to other places. On farms, animals are used to plough fields.

      It is dear that men can't live without animals. It's protect animals. They are our best friends.
