BR 2-11: Farley the Red Panda

"Although we'll be very sad....."  (p.15)

Do you like the red panda? We call it lesser panda in Japan. This book tells us a story about a red panda in San Diego. I have heard animal stories that the mother doesn’t take care of her child. According to this book, a red panda didn’t take care of her child, so zookeepers took care of child red panda instead of his mother. The child of the red panda named Farley. Farley had some problems, for example, poor nutrition, low body temperature, bad infection and sick. I think that Farley’s life is so hard.

I think that taking care of some animals is very difficult because they can’t speak. That can just cry. So, we have to think and feel what they want and what the best is for them. Taking care of the human baby is also difficult and hard, but there are difference between taking care of animal’s baby and human baby. We can take care of our baby be own. It is natural. However, animal’s baby may want to back their mother or forest. So, I think that it’s very difficult to take care of animals. I learned some important thinks from this book. If you interested in animals, I recommend it.
