"Pets"

The English people like  animals  very  much.  Pet:  dogs,  cats,

horses, ducks, canaries, chickens and other friends of men have a

much better life in Britain, than anywhere else. In Britain  they

have special dog shops, selling food, clothes  and  other  things

for dogs. There are dog hair-dressing saloons and dog  cemetries.

The English arrange dogs' shows and organize dogs' supper parties

for winners of dogs' competitions. They do all they can  to  make

animals feel well in their home  and  outside  their  homes  too.

There were photographs in English newspapres of a mother duck and

her young family, crossing slowly the  road  from  Hyde  Park  to

Kensington Garden. All traffic around was stopped  to  let  Mamma

Duck and her little ones walked quitly from one park to  another.

In recent years the English began to show love  for  more  exotic

animals such as crocodiles, elephants,  tigers,  cobras,  camels.

You won't be surprised, we think, when we tell  you  that  London

Airport has a special "animal hotel".  Every  year  thousands  of

animals arrive at London Airport,  some  stay  the  night  there;

others stay several weeks. In one month, for example, "the hotel"

looked after 47000 creatures: birds, insects,  fish,  elephants,

mpnkey and other animals. There are about 4000000  dogs,  6000000

cats, 8000000 caged birds and lots of other animals  in  Britain.

The English people belive that they are the only  nation  on  the

Earth that is really kind to its animals.
