I was surprised that people use hippo teeth also elephant teeth to make sculpture. Also I was angry that people kill hippos and elephants because of their beautiful teeth. If people continue killing them, they will be extinct soon. We should protect them from being killed. I hope that people do not buy that many ivory .

Animal Cruelty
After watching the video, I am so angry and sad that woman treated the animals like that! I am so curious of why she punched the dog. We should treat them like our friends! They are living things so they can be angry and painful just like us. Therefore, we should be friendly to animals.

I think the woman should not strangling or punching any dog because dogs are living creature too. They also have lives and feels too. They can feel painful, sad and angry.  Human should abuse animals like kicking, punching or strangling them. We should take care and make friends with them.

After watching the video, I found out that dog's visions aren't good. Our visions are even better than a dog. Although they don't have good visions, they have a extremely sensitive nose. They can found out many things with their sensitive nose such as the direction of the smell source and where they are located. I think that human should train their nose too.

Find out how dogs explore the world using their extremely sensitive noses.

1 Have you ever wondered how your dog experiences the world?

3 Not terribly interesting.

4 But what she smells, that's a totally different story.

5 And it begins at her wonderfully developed nose.

6 As your dog catches the first hints of fresh air,...

7 ...her nose's moist, spongy outside helps capture any scents the breeze carries.

8 The ability to smell separately with each nostril, smelling in stereo,...

9 ...helps to determine the direction of the smell's source...

10 ...so that within the first few moments of sniffing,...

11 ...the dog starts to become aware of not just what kinds of things are out there...

12 ...but also where they're located.

This news talks about the elephant is not the only kind of animals which is under threat from the industry. Although the hippo ivory is cheaper than the elephant ivory, hippo also has been set up to protect. I learnt that elephants are not the only kind of animal we need to protect. We also need to protect the environment and the animals.

Animal Cruelty
I feel very sad and angry after watching the video.I think people found guilty of animals cruelty should be punished more severely because animals have lives, they also have feelings,they can be happy , sad , angry . We should not use violence to solve problems like punching them or kicking them. We should treat them as our best friends and care them using the gentle way.

I will share the new 'animal cruelty'. This disturbing new is about how pet were allegedly being treated at a groomers in Tai Po. There was a woman strangling and punching a white dog in a pet grooming shop.  The police have arrested one woman. A person found guilty of animals cruelty may serve up to three years in prison.

After I watch this video, I feel very sad because the animals is also a life, we should hit it or even kill them. I think the people found  guilty of animal cruelty should be punished more severely because it is a punishment for them. And it can make people don't do it.I have learnt that we should not hit or even kill the cute animals because them are  lives. And I think we should get along with the animals because animals are our good friends.

How Dogs see the world
Dogs see the world with their nose but not their eyes. They can just see things which are black and white but what they smell , that's totally a different story.That is amazing because we use eyes to see things but the dogs just use their nose to smell them.

After watching the video about animal cruelty, I felt very angry to the person because the woman strange and punch to a dog in a pet shop. And I thought the dog was very wretched. Luckliy, that someone report to the police if else there may be more pets get hurt. I hope that woman will not do that anymore.

I feel that any action about abusing of animals should stop, everyone is a life and should not be derespected because they are pets or food. I feel very sad and disappointed. The government should strengthen penalties for animal abuse. Hong Kong law has no effect on these criminals. Constant cases of abuse and even animal killings have emerged.

K9 CONTROVERSY Police deny service dogs suffered from tear gas
I think the police should not bring the dogs to the places where have tear gas because the tear gas is harmful to dogs. The dogs may get sick or even die. They should provide gas masks for the dogs. Dogs may be fear about the tear gas.

Police are saying none of their service dogs have died after suffering from the effects of tear gas. This comes after police dogs were seen deployed at Monday's protests in Yuen Long without gas masks...

This online footage shows a woman strangling and punching a dog in a pet grooming shop. Police have received reports of animal cruelty and tonight announced that they have arrested one woman. A person found guilty of animal cruelty may serve up to three years in prison.
I think the people who punch the dogs was very rude because the dogs also have lives and the dog are so poor keep punching it by its owner.

HIPPO IVORY Inside the lesser know, but equally threatening trade in HK | 新聞影片庫
It was surprising when I found out that people can use hippo teeth to make ivory products instead of using elephant tusk in the video. I don't understand why people buy ivory products because I think the products look strange since they are all white. Also, people can use tagua nut to replace elephant tusk and hippo teeth.
