My love for animals
(Sent by Silvana Builes, a student from Bogotá, Colombia)

I've always loved the animals, since I was a young child. But since the last year I belong to PETA ( People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

I'm an activist member of this association, because in this one, we fight for the animal abuse around the world. The main work we do for the animals, is to create conscience in the people, for not using fur (it is like the skin of the animals). China is the first and main country producing fur.

It seems to me they hate the animals. They also kill dogs for eating, and for the furs they use dogs, cats, chinchillas, and others animals. They kill these animals in a very shamed shameful way. They massacre the animals. I hate them.

In PETA we also have been creating conscience about the bullfighting, the seal hunting in Canada, the experiments with animals, the dogs in chains...

And try to be a vegetarian, by the way, I'm trying to be... but it's difficult.
