    Culture animalsanimals动物The British and Americans are famous for being animal lovers, and many families have at least one pet. People from other countries often think British and American people are sentimental about animals, and say that they treat them better than people.People in Britain might have a day out at a safari park (= a park where people can drive close to wild animals), farm park, zoo, bird park or sea life centre. In the US there are zoos and aquaria (= large tanks of fish), which are educational, and also amusement parks with animals, like Busch Gardens and Disney's Animal Kingdom.Television programmes about animals are very popular. These range from educational programmes about wildlife to films starring fictional animals. Children are given soft toy animals and picture books about animals. Children's literature has created many famous animal characters, such as Black Beauty, Brer Rabbit, Pooh, and Ratty, Mole and Toad in The Wind in the Willows. Many animals in books have their own particular character: lions are typically brave, foxes are cunning and cats are proud.It is against the law to be cruel to animals in Britain and the US. People give money to animal charities such as the RSPCA and the ASPCA, and there are animal hospitals and rescue centres for injured and abandoned animals. Most of these, and most zoos are fairly modern, and many animals live in a large enclosure similar to their natural habitat, rather than in a cage. Often, zoos keep only animals that cannot survive in the wild or were born in captivity. Some breed animals to put back into the wild and try to make the public more aware about the need for conservation.Many people care about wild animals. People feed wild birds in the winter and some have a bird table in the garden. In the US the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) helps people to create their own ' backyard wildlife habitat'.There are often campaigns to save species that are endangered, such as wolves and buffalo in the US, and red squirrels and hedgehogs in Britain. In rural areas people generally have much less romantic ideas about animals. In Britain hunting foxes with dogs is opposed by many people, especially those living in towns, but the law to ban it, which came into effect in 2005, is seen by many people living in the country as an attack on their way of life. There is also a lot of discussion about whether the numbers of badgers, which are a type of wild animal living in the countryside, should be reduced. They are thought to pass on the disease tuberculosis to cows, and therefore many farmers are in favour of a reduction in their numbers. Other people feel that it is wrong to kill badgers and that other solutions to the problem should be found.In Britain and the US many people are concerned about animal rights, especially the use of animals in scientific research and public pressure has forced many cosmetics companies to stop testing products on animals. Several groups, including the Animal Liberation Front and PETA, strongly oppose vivisection (= the use of live animals in experiments) and animal rights activists organize protests at laboratories where animals are used. Sometimes people who work or invest in companies that own the laboratories are threatened.Concern about farming methods in which animals are fed so that they become fat as quickly as possible and in artificial conditions causes many people to become vegetarian or vegan, or to buy only meat that is from animals that have lived in good conditions.
