In school we learned how to use an internet program called Prezi.
Then we had to make a presentation with it. I decided to use this opportunity well and my presentation is about animal cruelty.
Here it is:

A message to the world
This post is for all animal haters and people who are scared of animals. (If your not one plz still read this)
Over 15 million people die per year only a few of these are by animals. Still not convinced? Take these shark killings.
sharks kill humans each year: 5
humans kill sharks each year: 100 million
Animals are not our enemies, don't think of them as monsters because we are them to animals.
Sometimes I feel ashamed of being a human.
We take what we want not caring about then consequences:
We are the smartest creatures on our planet but we are so stupid and selfish.
Remember the elephant in my circus post or the orca in my marine parks post.They killed humans but they were just scared and hurt and if you think closer you start to think it was the humans fault.
So next time you look at an animal like at a monster or killer look into a mirror. You are the real monster.
I had a hard day and I thought about animals. I wrote the draft in tears and I'm happy to post it. I hope I didn't hurt anyone by what I said.
Your Marta (remember about the contest)

- destroy their homes
- polute the earth

DOLPHIN
Hi humans, animals and aliens!!!(anything living)
Dolphins- Yeah
It is summer and i decided to talk more about it but still help the kingdome of nature at the same time. It is hot and sunny in some countries(I wish i was one of the people living there) and some like me live in cold countries :(. But there is one good thing about Ireland dolphins live in it's ocean. Dolphins are not my favourite animals but I love them. We should all respect them too. We know not to go to marine parks as I said in my other post. We can also donate money for them, don't go to close to them when your on a boat and don't litter at the sea.
Here are facts about a crititally endangered dolphin.My Favourite!
Baiji 白鱀豚
The Baiji (Chinese: 白鱀豚; pinyin:
báijìtún (help·info)) (Lipotes vexillifer, Lipotes meaning "left behind", vexillifer "flag bearer") was a freshwater dolphin found only in the Yangtze River in China. Nicknamed "Goddess of the Yangtze" (simplified Chinese: 长江女神; traditional Chinese: 長江女神; pinyin: Cháng Jiāng nǚshén) in China, the dolphin was also called Chinese River Dolphin, Yangtze River Dolphin, Whitefin Dolphin and Yangtze Dolphin. It is not to be confused with the Chinese White Dolphin.
The Baiji population declined drastically in recent decades as China industrialized and made heavy use of the river for fishing, transportation, and hydroelectricity. Efforts were made to conserve the species, but a late 2006 expedition failed to find any Baiji in the river. Organizers declared the Baiji "functionally extinct",which would make it the first aquatic mammal species to become extinct since the demise of the Japanese Sea Lion and the Caribbean Monk Seal in the 1950s. It would also be the first recorded extinction of a well-studied cetacean species (it is unclear if some previously extinct varieties were species or subspecies) to be directly attributable to human influence.
In August 2007, Zeng Yujiang reportedly videotaped a large white animal swimming in the Yangtze.Although Wang Kexiong of the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has tentatively confirmed that the animal on the video is probably a baiji, the presence of only one or a few animals, particularly of advanced age, is not enough to save a functionally extinct species from true extinction. The last known living baiji was Qi Qi (淇淇), which died in 2002.
Dolphins- Yeah

Marine Parks
Hi guys!!
It's nearly summer holidays at my school.
I hope you all heve fun on your holidays but plz don't make them cruel. There are manny bad things happening to animals but let's talk about marine parks.
Imagine being stuck in your bathtub for your whole life that is exactly how orcas and dolphins feel in marine parks. Wild water mammals should swim in the sea not dance and jump for audince or swim with tourists. I know there is something like dolphin therapy but you could use dolphins instead. The animals are forced to do the things in fear here are some facts:
Tilikum was just 2 years old when he was taken from the ocean in 1983. Ever since then, he's been kept in cramped tanks, where he gets very little exercise and is forced to learn circus-style tricks for human entertainment. Former trainers say that withholding food and isolating animals who refuse to perform are two common training methods.
We think that Tilikum's aggressive behavior toward his trainers is proof of his unhappiness. Captive animals such as Tilikum not only take out their frustration on humans but also on themselves. A marine mammal behavioral biologist in Seattle says that "dolphins in captivity can exhibit self-inflicted trauma" and that some drift at the surface of the water and chew on concrete until they've destroyed their teeth. Others have reportedly taken their own lives by hitting their heads against the sides of pools or by not coming up for air.
Plz don't go!!!
thanks

Imagine being stuck in your bathtub for your whole life that is exactly how orcas and dolphins feel in marine parks. Wild water mammals should swim in the sea not dance and jump for audince or swim with tourists. I know there is something like dolphin therapy but you could use dolphins instead. The animals are forced to do the things in fear here are some facts:
- Killer whales, or orcas, are members of the dolphin family. In the ocean, orcas and dolphins stay with their families, or “pods,” for their entire lives and communicate with each other in a “dialect” specific to their family pod. Imagine, then, the trauma inflicted on these highly social animals when they are ripped from their families and put in the strange artificial world of a marine park.
- In nature, orcas and dolphins enjoy the ability to move freely. Their streamlined bodies and smooth skin enable them to gain fast speed, and they are always on the move, swimming up to 100 miles a day. They spend only 10-20 percent of their time on the water’s surface and can hold their breath for as long as 30 minutes, diving to depths of more than 1,640 feet. In captivity, orcas and dolphins are restricted by their tank or enclosure, which can measure a mere 24 feet by 24 feet wide and six feet deep. They can only swim a few feet before a wall or a fence stops them. Captive orcas and dolphins spend more than half of their time swimming in small circles or simply lying motionless on the surface of the water. Experts believe that this may account for the collapsed dorsal fins seen on the majority of captive orcas.Captivity’s Tragic Consequences
Captivity is a death sentence for orcas and dolphins and more than 3,850 marine mammals have died in captivity in the last 30 years. In the wild, dolphins can live to be 25 to 50 years old. Male orcas live between 50 and 60 years, females between 80 and 90 years. Orcas rarely survive more than 10 years in captivity. Common causes of death include, capture shock, pneumonia, chlorine poisoning, starvation, stress, drowning, and heat. To the marine park industry, these facts are accepted as routine operating expenses.
