hippo

I read the article "Zoo disputes hippo's death caused by trip" from The Rocky Mountain News. It talked a poor Little hippo dying because it was confined in a little truck for to long and it lost circulation to its legs and died.

This story really made me upset because they killed a defenseless hippo. I mean if i was getting transported to a zoo and i died id be pissed up in hippo heaven. The hippo probably put its trust in the people to get him to the zoo safely. I think the hippo should have had a bigger crate he shouldn't have died. Its sad enough that the hippo was going to the zoo instead of his home in the wild. Would you like to be started at all day? Seriously they should have taken a lot more precautions.

This story is so sad, what if the hippo was in alot of pain. i would hate to die a slow painful detah like this hippo did. Poor hippo.

I read the article "Abortion foes protest limits on DNC rallies" from the Rocky Mountain News. It talked about abortion and how a group of people are going to peacefully protest.

I think that abortion is a HUGE issue and usually in class my teachers prefer to just skip over it and yeah it sorta makes me upset that they just blow over it. i think it should be talked about i think that we should know the truth about it. I wish that we could discuss it and talk about how some people think its right and others think its wrong. i personally believe its wrong. abortion hurts women and there baby's. I know there's the whole well I'm only 13 and got pregnant, well if your 13 you shouldn't have had sex! Also i think that rape is a big issue but you can always have the baby and give it up for adoption. i don't know i couldn't take the life of an Innocent baby. could you?
