Danger! Humans!

Which is more dangerous:

a shark, a chair or a person?

When an animal attacks a person, there are always stories about it on TV and in the newspapers. But people are usually more dangerous than animals. Every year, we kill approximately 100 million sharks, but sharks only attack three or four people, and crocodiles six or seven. More people die in accidents with chairs!

Animals aren't really a problem for people, but we are a problem for animals. We eat millions of tonnes of fish and meat every year. But people don't kill animals just for food. They also hunt them for fur or for fun. While you're reading this, people are hunting animals all over the world.

At the moment, animals are becoming extinct in every part of the world. The 'red list' of animals in danger in Kazakhstan includes species of horses, leopards, wild dogs, lynx, otter, bats and bears. We aren't killing all these animals directly, but they are dying and becoming extinct because of human behaviour. Our pollution and construction is changing the climate and animals' habitats, and time is running out for some animals. It's important to change our actions now and save the animals!

Our countryside

Glossary behaviour: the way a person acts, especially towards others

Что опаснее: акула, стул или человек?

According to the text, a person is the most dangerous. The article explains that humans kill approximately 100 million sharks every year, while sharks only attack three or four people. People also hunt animals for fun and destroy their habitats, causing many species to become extinct. The text concludes that human behaviour is the main danger to the animal world.

Согласно тексту, самым опасным является человек. В статье объясняется, что люди ежегодно убивают примерно 100 миллионов акул, в то время как акулы нападают только на трех или четырех человек. Люди также охотятся на животных ради развлечения и разрушают их среду обитания, что приводит к вымиранию многих видов. В тексте делается вывод, что поведение человека является главной опасностью для животного мира.
