ЖивотныеAnimals

Ганди однажды сказал, что величие нации и ее моральный прогресс заключаются в том, как она обращается с животными. Каждый год миллионы животных во всем мире погибают или страдают во имя науки. Частные учреждения, косметические компании, научные центры считают это приемлемым. Тем не менее, проводить испытания на животных неверно. Невинные создания не должны страдать в целях безопасности человека. Животные должны иметь такие же права, как и человек. Слово “животное” имеет

латинское происхождение и означает “имеющий дыхание”. Многие люди используют это слово неправильно, относя его только к отличным от человека живым существам.

Существует ряд особенностей, которые отличают животных от других живых существ. Например, они многоклеточны и подвижны на определенных этапах жизни. Это отличает их от бактерий, растений и водорослей. Сегодня, дикая природа сильно страдает в ходе человеческих действий. В то время как некоторые животные используются для развлечения людей в зоопарках, на родео, в цирках, других жестоко убивают, чтобы человек мог себя украсить. Например, шубами и ювелирными изделиями. Дикая природа также страдает из-за индустриального прогресса. Миллионы водных организмов умирают из-за промышленных отходов или утечки радиации.

Вырубка лесов является еще одной причиной, по которой вымирают животные. Если вышеупомянутые действия не прекратятся, еще больше животных будут под угрозой исчезновения и даже вымирания.

Согласно общепринятой классификации все животные делятся на млекопитающих, птиц, рыб, рептилий, земноводных и беспозвоночных.
– Млекопитающие отличаются от других групп тем, что их тела покрыты волосяным покровом. Млекопитающие женского рода кормят своих младенцев молоком. Примеры млекопитающих: собаки, кошки, кенгуру, слоны.
– Птицы появляются на свет из яиц в твердой скорлупе и имеют перья. Подавляющее большинство птиц может летать. Голуби, утки, фазаны относятся к птицам.
– Рыбы живут в воде и имеют жабры. Это позвоночные с чешуей и плавниками. Анчоусы, карп, угорь, акула, камбала относятся к рыбам.
– Рептилии имеют чешуйчатую кожу. К ним относятся черепахи, ящерицы, крокодилы, змеи. Все рептилии хладнокровны и рождаются на суше.
– Земноводные могут жить как на суше, так и в воде. Они рождаются в воде и напоминают рыб. Они дышат жабрами, но с возрастом развивают легкие, чтобы жить на суше. Лягушки, жабы, саламандры относятся к земноводным.

– Беспозвоночные виды животных не имеют позвоночника. Более 95 процентов всех животных принадлежат к этой группе. Пауки, мухи, улитки, креветки, тараканы, дождевые черви все беспозвоночные.

Gandhi has once said that the greatness of nation and its moral progress lies in the way it treats animals. Every year millions of animals throughout the world are killed or hurt in the name of science. Private institutions, cosmetic companies, scientific centers find it acceptable. However, animal testing is wrong. Innocent creatures should not be treated badly in the sake of human safety. Animals should have the same rights as people. The word “animal” has a Latin origin and means “having breath”. Many people use the word incorrectly referring only to non-human living creatures.

There are some characteristics which distinguish animals from other living things. For example, they are multicellular and motile at certain life stages. This separates them from bacteria, plants and algae. Today, the wildlife greatly suffers in the course of human actions. While some animals are being used for people’s amusement in zoos, rodeos, circuses, others are being cruelly killed for human decorations. This includes fur coats and jewelry items. Wildlife also suffers because of industrial growth. Millions of water organisms die because of industrial wastes or radiation spills. Deforestation is another reason why certain animals die out. If the above-mentioned actions continue, much more animals will become endangered or even extinct.

According to common classification all animals are divided into mammals, birds, fishes, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates.

    Mammals are distinguished from other groups by the possession of hair on their body. Female mammals feed their babies with milk. The examples of mammals are dogs, cats, kangaroos, elephants. Birds are born out of hard-shelled eggs and have feathers. The vast majority of birds can fly. Pigeons, ducks, pheasants are birds. Fishes Live in water and have gills. They are vertebrates with scales and fins. Anchovy, carp, eel, shark, flounder are fish. Reptiles Have scaly skin. They include turtles, lizards, crocodiles, snakes. All reptiles are cold blooded and they are born on land. Amphibians Can live both on land and in water. They are born in water and remind fish. They use gills to breath, but when they grow up they develop lungs to live on land. Frogs, toads, salamanders are amphibians.

Invertebrates Are animal species without vertebral column or backbone. Over 95 percent of all animals belong to this group. Spiders, flies, snails, prawns, cockroaches, earthworms are all invertebrates.
