My um... Other report


African Elephants
African elephants are beautiful animals that are being killed for their tusks which are made of ivory. Ivory is something valuable, something people want… we certainly don’t need it. That does not sound very fair to me, it is inhumane, cruel, and not to mention stupid! These elephants are very gentle and care for each other. African elephants are the largest terrestrial mammals. Lets hope it stays that way! There are about 400,000 – 660,000 individuals in the world. They are what you call ‘vulnerable’… I say we save the elephants! Don’t support the ivory trade!!!!

My Report on the moose and bighorn sheep....





Trading Places
By: Andrew Mancuso


The states of Colorado and Utah are attempting to control their populations of moose and big horn sheep. In Utah there are too many moose and not enough big horn sheep. They have people called moose muggers that drop nets out of helicopters and capture the moose. Then they tie up their legs. They put the moose in a bag and suspend it from a helicopter. The helicopter flies to Colorado and puts them in the forest there. The big horn sheep from Colorado are then moved to Utah. They are doing this to avoid over-population.
