January Post: People Saving Penguins


People Saving Penguins

In the last 20 years there have been many oil spills throughout the world and many animals have suffered including penguins. Luckily, there are some people dedicated to saving these little flightless birds. In September of 1998 and June of 2000 there were 2 horrible oil spills. They injured and poisoned over 50,000 penguins. Many humans helped the penguins by making their condition more bearable in so many ways.  
A couple things that humans did to save the lives of these poor little birds was to provide them with a temporary home, care for them day and night, and they were able to provide them with tiny sweaters to keep them warm.. According to the article “The Amazing Penguin Rescue”: “A team of scientists and volunteers [transformed] a warehouse into a penguin rescue center.” Also according to the article, “Saving Penguins One Sweater At A Time!”: Workers at Phillip Island Nature Center came up with the brilliant idea to collect teeny-tiny penguin sweater to keep them warm because they couldn’t do it themselves. Humans providing these things for the penguins shows that they are devoted to helping the penguins recover from their injuries. Therefore, this information shows that these humans were able to come up with ideas to help solve the problem on how to save the injured penguins from the deadly oil spills.

In conclusion to my essay, humans helped the penguins by making their conditions more bearable and creating different ways to help them recover fully.  This is important due to the fact that things like this happen every year. Animals habitats are either destroyed or harmed by humans. This causes the death and injuring of countless innocent animals as well. Luckily, there are some people out there willing to help those poor animals who can’t help themselves.
