Animals Have Rights
We think all animals have the right to-
clean air and clean water
food
shelter- their natural habitat
freedom
space
protection from people who may harm them
live in peace
White Rhinos
We have written a letter to the zookeeper at Hamilton Zoo where a baby white rhino has just been born.White rhinos live in Africa. Sadly, they are hunted by poachers who cut their horns off to sell to people who make medicines from them!
The new baby at Hamilton Zoo is the 6th white rhino to be bred there. They are helping with a breeding programme to help make sure that the white rhino survives.
