A: What do you believe we can do to protect animals?
В: I believe, the first thing people should do is to raise other people’s awareness against animal cruelty.
A: How can we do that?
B: Well, by organising campaigns or by giving lectures.
A: That’s true. How about raising money to help animals in need?
B: That’s a great idea! In my opinion another thing that will help is to try and find a home for the stray cats and dogs or at least help and feed them.
A: I agree. What about the animals in circuses or those who are subject to testing for medicine or cosmetic products?
B: Well, that’s a difficult one! We need to put pressure on the government to change the laws.
