The American Rhea birds have escaped their "jails" in Argentina and Brazil, fleeing to Germany. Many farmers are being affected by these huge, feathered birds. They eat their crops and run through the fields, reaching speeds of 60 mph. However, Germans do not want to send these magnificent creatures back to South America where they will die of cold winters and abuse. Their numbers are declining and leading to extinction.
I feel bad for the animals because it is not their fault that they are not treated properly and need food and shelter. They should definitely not be sent back, but they should be taken as property of Germany so they can be provided with a nurturing environment where they can live and be free.

They really do need some kind of animal specialists to help bring these birds to their deserved habitat.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bella, the birds need the help of animal specialists, to find them a stable habitat so that they'll leave the farmers' crops alone.
ReplyDeleteI agree as well animals are living breathing things just like we are and they need to be taken care of properly
