__**Knowledge Question**:__
__-Do people care about animal extinction?__ __Tim:__ I believe that most people are aware of this issue but not many people are thinking of ways trying to save the animals endangered and facing extinction. Keira: I think people take animals for granted and just hope that they wont face extinction, and then when they're deeply endangered they try save them. So I do think people care about animal extinction, they just don't do anything earlier to try help them from facing extinction. __-What caused the animals extinction?__ __Tim:__ I believe that global warming and climate change, pollution and over hunting is the main causes to animal extinction. Some of the other causes such as illnesses and pests may also be the causes of animal extinction. Keira: I also believe that the causes are global warming, climate change, illnesses, and pests. There are various causes between man made and natural causes of the animals' deaths. But, then again, there's no actual reason for the dinosaurs, so there are many many different reasons.

**__Comprehension Question:__**
__-What do you think is going to happen to happen to the animals in ten or twenty years time?__ __Tim:__ I think that animals such as whales and forest animals would become extinct because of whaling and deforestation. I believe that animals extinction would happen the most rapidly in fifty years time. Fish would become extinct and animals that feeds on fish would also become extinct. Keira: In ten or twenty years, I think national birds and sea mamals will either be extremly endangered, or extinct. Between the whaling, fishing, hunting, and deforestation, it'll be hard for animals to survive in their natural habitats. And who knows, maybe in thirty or so years, children may not even be able to have a pet cat or dog.

**__Application Question:__**
__-When did people start to realise what had happened to the animals?__ __Tim:__ I believe that people started to relize what had happened to the animals in the 19th century when the the animals started to extinct rapidly. Keira: I think people started to notice the issues with the animals rapidly dying when it first started happening a few centuries ago, but they decided to carry on living their lives as normal, while other species were decreasing. And only now, in the 21st + century, people are starting protests, etc to try save decreasing animals. __-Would this have happened if people were aware of this issue?__ __Tim:__ I believe that this would not have happened if people were aware of this issue. If people were aware of this issue, Animals would have survived being endangered. Keira: Yes, because I think people knew about the issue but they may have either not known how to face it or just couldn't be bothered. (But there were possibly a few groups of people who tried to help.) So personally I think they should've tried more to get the message across to others to make everyone more aware

**__Analysis Question:__**
__-What is the difference between animals dying of natural causes and animals being endangered?__ __Tim:__ I believe that animals dying of normal causes have their own reason to die. Maybe because they're too old, too weak, or too ill. Animals were born with a job, and that was to breed, to keep their species alive. For example, Salmons goes back up the stream to breed and after they finish breeding, they die. Once they finish their job, their life is completed and ended. But i fit died of animal extinction, it means that their might have been killed at any age. It might have been killed when it was young. Keira: I persnally think the difference between animals dying from natural causes and animals being endangered is quite different. If animals died from their own cause, like illness, age, weakness, or maybe even something during pregnancy or birth, I dont think there'd be as many animals dying. But, if animals died from preditors, hunters, etc, it's just cruel and uncalled for because it means that the animal (if it's young) doesn't get the chance at life like us humans do, therefore, they just keep getting killed until theres nothing left.

**__Synthesis Question:__**
__-Do you know any ways that would be able to stop this issue?__ __Tim:__ Yes, I believe that stopping climate change and global warming would be able to stop the animals from extinction. Keira: I think that if there wasn't unnecessary killing, air pollution, habitat distruction, and global warming, then there'd most likely be way less animal deaths, causing animal endangerment. Also, if there were more animal support groups, and posters, etc, then maybe the word would get spread more, causing awareness to the issues.

**__Evaluation Question:__**
__-Do you think that if the animals extincted, it would affect the people's living? Tim:__ I believe that if the animals extincted, the people's lives would be changed dramatically. People who fish or hunt to survive would not be able to survive because there would be no fish left to fish and no animals to hunt. Keira: I think people's lives would definately change. If people rely on meat, and the meaty animals all died out, then they'd have nothing to eat. If the animals that keep pests away extincted, then the pests would keep coming, causing bad problems and destructions for people and farmers. And what about pets? Without a pet, an old lady or child would live lonely or unplayfully. So yes, animals-of any kind- have a huge impact on people, and other animals.
