Act 1
1.
1. Do you think being in cage is fun, no it's not, just think once of
being in a cage. If I was an animal in a cage, I would have surely
not liked to be there as the feeling of being behind the metal bars
that are caging you is just horrible. This is the situation of
innocent animals. In zoo the animals are kept in cages for their
whole life, don't you think they should also get freedom! But this
situation of animals is just because of the cruel human beings!
2. I'd say it is important to let animals run freely, animals need to be able
to interact with their own kind as desired. They must be able to run,
jump, and play. Animals also have the right to freedom. One of the

c
the ways in which we undermine their freedom and then look to how
we can provide them with more, not less, of what they really want and
need.

themselves. Volunteering is a way of giving back to your community
while developing important social skills, and gaining valuable work
experience all at the same time.
d) But how can I get a job if all they want is experience, you ask?
That's where volunteering comes in. If you're looking for work,
volunteering is a good way to gain experience and references for your
course of life. Many people work unpaid in order to gain experience in
very competitive fields such as television, but some people may not
describe them as volunteers. Well then, what exactly is "volunteering"?
Many would describe it as any unpaid job, which involves spending time
doing something that aims to benefit others. In that case, volunteering at
an animal hospital, for instance, would be a great opportunity. We've all
seen the stories on TV about animals in need. This is where you take
