=Endangered Species=

Outline
I want this movie to be about endangered species and the effects it will put on the world if many species disappear from the Earth. When animals like Elephants (which we kill for ivory) will become extinct because of poachers, all the animals that feed off of them will experience a blow to their feeding habits. When you buy a fur coat think about the fact that you just killed a poor bunny or minx or even a leopard or cheetah. A lot of the animals people kill to make coats are rare, so that fur coat you may have has made it even more possible that you may never see that species that you're wearing ever again.

Act 1:
C1: Hello, this film you are about to watch is about endangered species. We believe that this is a crucial topic that nobody really pays attention to. Many species are dying off and it is up to us to help preserve them. Before we know it the animals that we know as endangered will be extinct. C3: Why are they dying off? C2: The reason why they are dying off are because they are being hunted and killed for their skins, they have a limited supply of food and their habitats have been destroyed.

Act 2:
C1: Ms.Corkhill, what do you think life would be like if the animals we use to make coats become extinct? Ms.Corkhill:(answer) C2: How do you think we can prevent endangered animals from becoming extinct? Ms.Corkhill: (answer) C3: Thank you. C3: Mr.G, do you think we will ever be able to stop using animals to make coats? Mr.G (answer) C1: What do you think we can do as a replacement for killing animals? Mr.G: (answer) C2: Thank you!

Act 3:
C2: When we were making this script, we stumbled upon a website called ostrich.com. They are selling things like ostrich eggs, clothes, MEAT and just feathers from not only ostriches but peacocks and other birds. C1: These are the kinds of people that are going to make animals around the world disappear. C3: Poachers are people who hunt animals illegally. C1: Animals are being helped by preserving our national parks, putting them in zoos, and taking care of them in animal shelters. C2: You can help animals by donating money to local shelters, or even by just not buying products made of animals, endangered or not, well, except for necessary food.

Act 4:
we will show a picture of lots of fur coats (you will only hear our voices, and see a picture) C2: These are some of the animals that are made into coats: C1: Beaver C3: Chinchilla C1: Coyote C2: Ermine C3: Fisher C1: Fox C2: Lamb C3: Lynx C2: Marten C1: Mink C3: Muskrat C1: Nutria C2: Opossum C3: Rabbit C1: Raccoon C2: Sable C3: Tanuki

Act 5:
C2: As we have stated before we believe that endangered species is a crucial topic that everyone should pay attention to. There are animal rights groups that fight to keep species from becoming both endangered and extinct. C1:A few of the groups are Land Scope America, Conservation Status of Species and Sustainable Forestry Certification. Their goal is to make people aware of the situations these animals are in. C3:Now that you are informed about endangered species, help spread the word. The three of us feel that this is a very serious problem, so we would like to say…

ALL: Thank you for watching this short film!
