Good morning Miss Poh and fellow classmates. Gorillas, known as the destructive and ferocious. Wrong, wrong, wrong! They are actually so gentle and harmless to us humans. We might still think that there are so many of gorillas left on this very planet, but let me tell you this they are on their verge of extinction. Gorillas having 97-98% of their DNA matching with us, humans. It is said to have around 600 mountain gorillas left.

            Why safe them some of you might ask. Many of us do not realize that we are the ones killing them. Loss of habitat is mainly the reason for many gorillas to die. We destroy their habitat and leave them homeless. They can’t fight back just because humans don’t see what their really going through and we don’t hear them. What if they could talk? Would we safe them. Imagine this. Dinosaurs still alive and ruling this planet. One day it crashes your house just because it wanted to build a nest there. But you can’t fight back, first reason being they are stronger, second being that they don’t understand you at all. That’s unfair isn’t it? That’s exactly what we’re doing.

            Not only losing their habitat, poaching is another reason for them becoming almost extinct. Gorillas are hunt down for their meat and for circuses. They live in captivity for our entertainment. Some of you might say I’m not the one killing them but buying them, people that sell them will kill more to satisfy the high demand. They are part of nature just lie us what gives us the right to kill them. Think about it, is killing really needed.

            Now let me tell you some ways of helping these animals. There is this organization called the gorilla doctor, they are dedicated in saving them but huge amount of money is needed. So donate a little to help them.

            In conclusion, we should save animals especially endangered animals. So what are you waiting or save gorillas! Thank you for your kind attention.
