Reflective journal 5 - ocelot

I will be sharing with you what are my thoughts about ocelot. I feel that ocelots should be free and not be killed by hunters. They should be playing around together with other ocelots. Ocelots are being forced to die. I think the ocelots will think those human beings are the cruelest creature on the planet.
The ocelot is protected by the Lacey Act which makes it illegal to transport, import, export, sell, receive, acquire or purchase any wild animal that is taken in violation of the law. In the United States, the ocelot is also protected by the Recovery Plan for the Listed Cats of Arizona and Texas. The primary objective of this plan is to maintain the ocelot’s population in Texas.
Even though I am relieved that they are protecting the ocelots, I still hope that ocelot’s population can increase. I think everyone in the past who wear their skins and killed them own them an apology. I hope this situation do not appear again in the future. Ocelots need their body covering for various purposes like camouflaging. Imagine, without skins they cannot catch their prey as they are easily spotted. This will lead to starvation. Besides starvation they also feel the pain of being “skinless”.
There are only 217 Ocelots left in the whole wide world! If you ever managed to see an Ocelot, you are very lucky as this is very rare like a jewel! The numbers of Ocelots left in the world is caused by hunters from the past. Please stop the hunters from getting close to the ocelots. All the reasons for ocelot being endangered are link to the hunters. Do not let animals hate human being! We must make them love us as we are warm-hearted, kind and gracious citizens.
