Pets
English people like animals very much. Pets: dogs, cats, horses, ducks, canaries, chickens and other friends of men have amuch better life in Britain, than anywhere else. In Britain theyhave special dog shops, selling food, clothes and other thingsfor dogs. There are dog hair-dressing saloons and dog cemetries. The English arrange dogs’ shows and organize dogs’ supper partiesfor winners of dogs’ competitions. They do all they can to makeanimals feel well in their home and outside their homes too. There were photographs in English newspapres of a mother duck andher young family, crossing slowly the road from Hyde Park toKensington Garden. All traffic around was stopped to let MammaDuck and her little ones walked quietly from one park to another. In recent years the English began to show love for more exoticanimals such as crocodiles, elephants, tigers, cobras, camels. You won’t be surprised, we think, when we tell you that LondonAirport has a special «animal hotel». Every year thousands ofanimals arrive at London Airport, some stay the night there;others stay several weeks. In one month, for example, «the hotel»looked after 47000 creatures: birds, insects, fish, elephants, mpnkey and other animals. There are about 4,000,000 dogs, 6,000,000cats, 8,000,000 caged birds and lots of other animals in Britain. English people belive that they are the only nation on the Earth that is really kind to its animals.
