Our reading group "Tui" have been reading the story Popular Pets and discussed what sorts of animals make good pets. We watched the video on Christian the Lion. Do you think we should still be able to buy animals like Christian in shops and keep them as pets?
No, I don't think lions should be kept as a pet because he doesn't really have enough room to run around.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think lions should be kept as a pet because he could bite the two men whe they just got him.
No, I don't think lions should be kept as a pet because you can't really take a lion for a walk cause it might bite someone's underpants or pants of! KD
I think no, because he can't run alot and he has no open space. He can not live that way, because then he won't feel happy, he can not live in a cage but he can live in the wild, it is good because then he can play with his friends DM
ReplyDeleteI DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD KEEP ANIMALS LIKE CHRISTIAN IN A PET SHOP BECAUSE THERE WON'T BE ANY ROOM. HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO BE IN KENYA BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE MORE ROOM AND HAVE MORE FOOD. THERE WILL BE MORE LIONS THERE TOO.
ReplyDeleteHi Guys, your blog is looking pretty awesome. Well done everyone. We are so looking forward to swapping comments with our buddies in Term 2. Room 8 might need a little help from me until they get the hang of it! I like your photo of Christian the lion. I would like to watch the video though so maybe Mrs P should insert the video too because it sounds really interesting! One of my children's favourite books at the moment is The Tiger who Came to Tea! I don't know if tigers are any better pets than lions really! We might end up being the tea!
ReplyDeleteNo I do not think animals like Christian should be at a pet shop because if someone might buy him and he might kill the person who owns him and he will run away.

I do not think that animals like Christian should be allowed to be kept as pets because I care about animals and think that they deserve to be free and besides would you like to be locked away inside a gate with a lock on it.I also think that people shouldn't be able to buy animals like Christian because when they get bigger they can get aggressive and violent and they need space to run and play besides would you like to be held captive for most of your life.Animals need to find love other wise they would get very lonely and very bored.I think it is cruel and mean to hold wild animals captive.If animals are being held captive they will never experience the joy of children,love or freedom.

I don't think animals like Christian should be sold because they need fresh air and wide open spaces and might put mud on your bed!
ReplyDeleteAlso they will probably bite you. They won't be able to dig and run around.

No, I don't think animals like Christian should be keeped as pets because they need more room, and should be let free with other lions. They should also be let free because it needs big spaces for running and should learn to hunt his food so he can find his own food when it's older. It's best to let them free sooner or they can't survive.

No I don't think Christian should be keep as a pet because he might eat some one. He might be angry because he doesn't like being a pet. He like it in the wild because he is not in a cage

No I don't think that Christian should be sold in a shop and kept as a pet, because lion's need to be in open space and are wild. Lions grow big so there needs to be iots of space. Cristian would be better in the wild because he will be free and happy. Christian needs to meet a wommen lion.Lions need to run around. GB
ReplyDeleteNo I don't think lions should be allowed to be kept as pet's because they are wild animal's. They live in the wild after a while they get too big to be handled. They need lots of space to run around and be happy. However there are lots of different animals that need to be in wild again like emus, ostriches, kangaroos, elephants, hippos, snakes wild dogs and if you keep them too long they can't look after themselves. In backyards they can't learn to hunt prey.

Some children in Room 4 think that if they had lots of room at their house they would want to look after a lion as a pet because they are becoming endangered. Others did not think that you should keep a lion as a pet because it would not be safe as they eat humans, they could scratch us hard and where would you get enough meat to feed it!!!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed looking at your blog and love your clock!!
