English people like animals very much. Pets: dogs, cats,
horses, ducks, canaries, chickens and other friends of men have a
much better life in Britain, than anywhere else. In Britain they
have special dog shops, selling food, clothes and other things
for dogs. There are dog hair-dressing saloons and dog cemetries.
The English arrange dogs' shows and organize dogs' supper parties
for winners of dogs' competitions. They do all they can to make
animals feel well in their home and outside their homes too.
There were photographs in English newspapres of a mother duck and
her young family, crossing slowly the road from Hyde Park to
Kensington Garden. All traffic around was stopped to let Mamma
Duck and her little ones walked quietly from one park to another.
In recent years the English began to show love for more exotic
animals such as crocodiles, elephants, tigers, cobras, camels.
You won't be surprised, we think, when we tell you that London
Airport has a special "animal hotel". Every year thousands of
animals arrive at London Airport, some stay the night there;
others stay several weeks. In one month, for example, "the hotel"
looked after 47000 creatures: birds, insects, fish, elephants,
mpnkey and other animals. There are about 4,000,000 dogs, 6,000,000
cats, 8,000,000 caged birds and lots of other animals in Britain.
English people belive that they are the only nation on the Earth that is
really kind to its animals.
