Margo's journal entry

I have sent this work to Natalia Yurievna through e-mail and now I thought that it would be better if I post it too.

I've read an article the main idea of which contains an opinion that there is too much wild fish, taken from ocean, is being used in the pet food industry. Obviously, fish is a very important forage for domestic or farm-raised animals and necessary human food. Fish meat and fish oil are parts of ration of not only people but also piglets, and salmon, and many others. The problem is familiar for us. Most of people know that ocean resourses are exploited too often and strong; so, it is important and necessary to find a way that could help both difficulties. They are necessaty of food or so called forage for farm-raised swines, poultry, salmon; and need to stop using fish and sea animals that much. Than the author of the article said there are many debates about all of this in America, and few solutions had already found. One of them is making a vegan food for cats and other domestic carnivors.

This theme was interesting for me, firstly, because I was always worried about protection of environment. Since school I like nature and parts of science exploring living creatures and environment itself, so I prefer naturalistic articles to, for example, mathematical or economical. Secondly, the topic of the article is more or less important for me in practical way. I have got a cat and that's why my interest in pet food industry is obviously higher than people's who don't keep an animal. My cat needs to be fed and the question about what food is good for him and what would be being sold in some time concerns me directly. (New York Times 'Cat Got Your Fish?'Published: March 21, 2009 )
