Recently, a sad news story about "blood cats" has made many people in China worried and think deeply.
Some stray cats were caught and forced to give large amounts of their blood. This blood was then sold to pet hospitals for blood transfusions(输血). People call these poor cats "blood cats".
This is not the right way to treat animals. Cats, like all living creatures, should be treated with kindness. A cat can only safely give a small amount of blood once in a while. But these "blood cats" had far too much blood taken, which is very dangerous and cruel.
This problem shows us a bigger issue: we need to learn how to live in peace with all animals on Earth, both pets and wild animals.
Our Wild Friends Need Help Too
Many wild animals, like pandas, tigers, and elephants, are also in danger. They face serious problems. Their homes are destroyed when forests are cut down. They sometimes can't find enough food or clean water. Also,
some people hunt them for their fur or other body parts.
What Can We Do?
It is important to remember that animals are our friends. To protect them is to protect ourselves. Here are some things we can do:
· Protect the environment. We can help by keeping their habitats clean and safe.
· Support nature reserves. Governments and groups can build more nature reserves where animals can live safely.
· Stop hunting. There should be laws to stop people from killing endangered animals.
· Be kind to all animals. We should treat pets and stray animals with care and report any bad behavior towards them.
If everyone makes a little contribution, it will make a big difference. Let's learn to live in peace with all animals.
( )4. According to the passage, what are "blood cats"?
A. Cats that like the smell of blood. B. Cats that are sick and need blood transfusions.

When storm clouds gather, and the wind blows strongly, most people choose to stay at home. But some run toward the danger. photographer Liu Yijing is one of them. He records nature’s anger with his camera.
