Good Evening friend...
Now I"ll share share an article about animals in city. Please read carefully and loudly.
One night in December 2018, a bear came into the city of Vancouver in
Canada. It walked through the city streets past houses, shops and
offices. Then it found some food in bins outside a restaurant and
started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the
police. The police came with a vet from the city zoo. They put the bear
in a lorry and took it to the mountains outside the city. Luckily, the
bear was safe. But what happens in other countries when big animals come
into cities? In Vancouver it is unusual to see a bear, but in some
cities you can see big animals on the city streets every day.
Big animals usually come into cities to find food. In Cape Town in
South Africa baboons come into the city when they are hungry. They go
into gardens and eat fruit from trees. They even go into houses and take
food from cupboards and fridges! Baboons are strong animals and they
can scare people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too.
Sometimes, cars and buses kill baboons in accidents. Human food is very
bad for the baboons’ teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are
Baboon Monitors working in Cape Town. Their job is to find baboons in
the city and return them to the countryside.
In Berlin in Germany, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for
food. They eat flowers and plants in parks and gardens. Sometimes they
eat vegetables from gardens and they walk in the street and cause
accidents. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water
to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and they want the government
and the police to stop them entering the city.
In Moscow in Russia, there are 35,000 wild dogs. The dogs live in
parks, old houses, markets and train stations. Some dogs live in groups
and others live alone. Many people in Moscow like the dogs. They give
them food and water. Some people make small houses for the dogs in their
gardens. This helps the dogs in winter, when the temperature in Moscow
is -10 ºC and there is a lot of snow and ice.
Many animals live in cities. In some cities, you can see birds,
insects, mice and squirrels every day. But sometimes, it is dangerous
when big animals come into cities to find food. We need to find ways of
stopping animals coming into the city without hurting them.
