I read an information about ocelot. I was engrossed with the article. After reading, I felt that ocelot is a very rare cat. The body is covered with attractive, irregular-shaped rosettes and spots giving it a distinctive appearance. The first intention for people was to kill it for their beautiful skins and make them into coats. I think that poachers and hunters are very cruel because they are killing such an innocent animal for their skins. Have they ever spared a thought about the future generation? If ocelots are extinct, the future generations could not see this cute animal anymore and the food chain will not be balance, [example grass is eaten by rabbits and eaten by ocelot. if ocelot extinct rabbits will increase. Therefore, the grass will be decreasing and they cannot photosynthesis to give out enough oxygen for human to breathe]. I suggest that humans must build a natural habitat for the endangered animals and not allowing poachers to go there.

Ocelot’s fine fur has made them the target of countless hunters, and in many areas they are quite rare and endangered. They are protected in the United States and most other countries where they live. Thank god that somebody has taken the first move to save these innocent animals. I felt that if somebody sees an animal that is so beautiful they will try to kill. In my opinion, if poachers are blind there are good benefits. Firstly, they cannot see whether this animal have beautiful skins or not so they would not kill it. Secondly, they cannot aim at the animal and shoot at them. Last but no least, if poachers do not kill ocelot anymore it will not be endangered. Eyes can be so evil.

Thus, I conclude that ocelot is a wonderful animal and have very interesting fact to learn about them. I hope that ocelot is not endangered and the future generation would be able to learn more about them and widen their knowledge. Please save these innocent animals![336 words]
