               STOP SHARK FINNING

I think shark finning should be banned. By shark finning we are taking the shark species to extinction. It is also wasteful because we are not even using the whole shark.

New Zealand is one of a few countries that are not banned from shark finning yet. New Zealanders don’t even eat the shark fin soups. All we are doing is cutting the fins off these animals and leaving them to bleed to death.

We are taking the sharks most important body part; taking there fin away from them is taking away their life because they can’t swim without them .They need their fin to keep them steady.

 My opinion is that we should ban shark finning in New Zealand.

Should we keep the Gisborne-Napier Rail?

I believe we should keep the rail because not only it stops logging trucks from travelling on the  road but it also carries food on the trains. Without the rail all those trucks have to travel on the road causing traffic jams,car accidents,pollution and pot holes in our smooth kiwi roads.

Taking away our rail is polluting the air even more.

Is that what you want? Well I don’t.

I believe that the rail should be re-opened so there wont be as many trucks on the road and less pollution.

 So I think the Gisborne to Napier rail should be re-opened so Gisborne City will be happy again.

STOP POACHING!

I believe that poachers should stop poaching because animals like elephants , rhinos and the orangatang are becoming endangered because of poaching. They are losing more of their kind.

The poachers just take the horns off rhinos and the tusks off elephants and leave them to suffer. It is unfair that the poachers allow the animals to suffer and bleed to death. I think they should stop disturbing the animals because they will never harm us unless they feel threatened .

So don’t you think we should stop poaching?

I believe we should because later generations may never see the animals that are being poached today .Please leave the animals alone that are being poached
