The author takes Jackie as an example to tell us that koalas don’t like to be awoken because tourists want to hug and make photos with koalas. Besides, the native government tries to make the pratice illegal.
Naturally, people love to make photos with animals. On the one hand, they’d like to use the photos as something that reminds them of the travel. It can be understood that everyone wants to remember the happy moments. On the other hand, some people are crazy about lovely animals, such as deer, sheep and so on. As a result, they can’t help hugging with the animals and taking photos with them.
However, if I were those animals, I would not feel excited when tourists do that. Maybe my first reaction is to walk round and round, which helps me to avoid being touched. Then I would shout at them loudly to frighten them away. At last, I could pretend to be sleeping, which is a good way to let them down.
Since I would feel annoyed if I were an animal, the real animals must be upset. So I strongly oppose to be the behavior that tourists take photos with animals. They are our friends and share the same world with us. We ought to treat them better and respect them more.
Koalas at wildlife park in Australia are annoyed because they constantly awoken from their deep sleep to be photographed by visitors so that the park can profit from this. However, the government now is acting to make this pratice illegal, which is quite understandable.
People tend to take photos with animals in order to satisfy their curiosity to have a better look at the animals. Moreover, keeping photos of interesting animals will surely leave one a beautiful memory.
If I were an animals which is being photographed, I would certainly become scared when being touched by so many strangers. What’s more, I would lose my freedom to do whatever I want and that would drive me annoyed and crazy! Finally, facing all sorts of cameras would exhaust me or even make me weaker.
I believe that taking photos with animals should be banned. For one thing, animals are lives, too and they have the rights to live in freedom and happiness. No one is to take their rights away. For another, taking photos with animals may lead to some unexpected dangers. Terrible virus carried by animals can spread to visitors and visitors may also be hurt by animals’ attacks.
All in all, taking photos with animals should be banned considering the good of both animals and visitors.
