Animal Takeover

AUDIENCE: middle aged, animal loving people. 
PURPOSE: Inform the audience about the endangered animals cause.



Did you know? That there used to be over 15,000 Grevy’s zebras but now there are just 2,500 remaining today. That on Santa Cruz Island the Channel Island fox has fallen from 1,500 to fewer than 100 animals with-in a five year period.

But of course you didn’t. It feels almost too late for these animals now and again. This is probably because we only hear a certain number of the endangered animal population calling for our help. We all know the tiger, the dolphin and the killer whale are in troubling times. We can’t help but know it with all of those charities pleading for support while we sit in our own comfort and watch the TV. While we sit there in our gluttony a lot of people may shrug their shoulders at such things as the WWF but worry when they see children in third world countries. Now that just is not fair.

There are people out there that do help the animals, but I haven’t seen a big animal charity having a night on the boxes that we all enjoy so much. But for charities aimed at the human population just happens to have many. How are people meant to find out about the serious problem that has occurred because of our hunger to live in complete luxury in a short advert? It isn’t really possible.

Don’t get me wrong, comic relief and children in need do an amazing job. Their work really helps. All the animal adoring public are asking for is a similar opportunity in the UK that they get in America. During my research I discovered that the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) have carried one out. It was on channel 7; pointless. Having it on the BBC will optimise the affect.

The magazine is currently working with the WWF to get a night for them during the winter next year. If you have any questions for us call 012345678957, anyone wishing to contact the WWF call this number: 01483 426444. Sign the petition to take over the TV:  www.petitionbuzz.com
