My Speech so far

Did you know that over 150 billion animals die EVERY YEAR!!! That is more than 20 times as much as the world’s current population. And the only living things to blame are us, humans.

Hello, Kia Ora, G'day, my name is Lewis and I am here to inform you all on why animals should have some human rights. I’m not talking about WiFi or an Instagram account, things like some protection, endangered or not, but if animals don’t run around with guns shooting people, then why should we shoot them?

Some people kill animals for food, experiments, and the odd jerk that does it for entertainment, but even those people that live in the city that have never been hunting, are they responsible to?

My answer is that most people that live in cities don’t know that the are killing more than 30 percent of 150 billion. And the only thing they are doing is polluting the air, some without even knowing that they’re doing it. One thing for sure is that it is not getting better, and it probably never will. Now it is the animals turn to explain why they kill us. Well first if they are threatened they will react, and obviously there aren’t any animal psychologists to change that.

They don’t want to eat us, every adult always has tease you about how that massive shark lurks underneath you ready for a meal, but in fact sharks only attack us because they mistake us for seals or dolphins. Even though sharks live under water their water vision is about as good as ours and they don’t like taste of us either. But all sorts of sea animals die mainly because of pollution, but the majority die because of fishing.

Vegetarians save about 100 animals per year.  That greatful pig that any vegetarian out there didn’t eat wishes that he could say thank you but it comes out like this, (whatever a pig sounds like).

My Speech Topic

What rights should animals have is my topic for speeches and it will be funny and practical and suitable for all ages.

7MS Bugsy Malone

Last night 7MS did a shortened version of Bugsy Malone in production form.

I was the grim reaper and a gang member, it was a major learning point for me as I now have the confidence to stand up in front of a crowd.

Pottery in Brazil

Lol, literally a fish bowl!

In Brazil they make their clay out of mud from the local mangrove, and it makes your hands really dirty!!!

Another visit to the Mangrove

Today we visited the Vitoria Mangrove, we found a shallow spot and walked around and eventually ended up shoulder deep in mud!!!

Public Gym

Different Schools

Today we visited the local school to "bring back good memories" as my step mum attended, somewhere in the dinosaur era! We interrupted the english class and ended up staying for an hour and helping out, now everyone in that class has my email adress and my blog details! We will take some more pictures tonight when we meet them on their street to play football, or as they would say "futsal".
