The United States government list of endangered species includes alligators, tigers, grizzly bears, some kinds of whales, and over three dozen species of butterflies . What has led to the scarcity of these animals , which may become extinct without vital protections? One important factor is that many animals have been widely hunted and killed for food or for their beautiful skills. In accordance with the Endangered Species Act, it is illegal in the United States to hunt, sell, or collect endangered species. Thus, an expensive fur coat made from a tiger killed in Asia cannot be legally sold to a wealthy matron in New York or San Francisco. Some predators, which kill useful, more common animals, are threatened by ranchers who are concerned that predators will carry off chickens and young sheep, and use this fear to justify trapping or killing them. The butterfly is an accidental victim of man’s effort to control his environment . For long time collectors have searched for unusual specimens for their colour butterfly collection; now, there is an additional, more serious threat-widespread use of dangerous pesticides which farmers apply to their crops to control harmful insects. With various animals being killed for food, for decoration, and for the protection of domesticated animals, or dying because of unfortunate contact with human environment, it is not surprising that some are becoming scarce, that the number of species on the endangered list is growing every year. Man is discovering that his world includes the other animals in it, and one can only hope this discovery is not coming too slowly or too late. 1. Many kinds of animals are endangered by a. wealthy matrons b. man c.environmentalists d.alligators 2. A fur coat made from a tiger cannot be legally sold a. in New York or San Francisco, but not elsewhere b. in big city c. in any part of the United States d. in coastal cities 3. The word “Act” in the second paragraph is used in the sense of a. law b. control c. rule d. protection 4. Which of the following is NOT a predator? a. a lion b. a wolf c. an antelope d. an eagle 5. According to the writer, a. the government has taken no measure to protect endangered animals. b. polluted environment are the most serious threat to many kinds of animals. c. man has not fully realised the importance of the other animals in his world. d. all animals will soon become extinct.
