I heard of animals being killed for protecting itself or  being put to death because of the stupidity of humans. I have seen and heard of animals around the world put to death because of  people antagonizing animals and them attacking to protect them self and them being put down for attacking humans. If a animal attacks a human it is put down no matter what . The stupidity of humans and the fear of animals  changed my life .My life is now focused on finding a way to help animals protect them self . 

I have had personal experience with animals trying to protect their self . Day my dad and me went for a walk and I turned around after hearing something making noise . Once I turned around I said “ Dad look a dog ,” he turned around and and said” don't touch it,”  and me being 8 
I turned around and came towards it and said “ come here boy”  and it jumped and scratched me and it hurt like hell and I cried , it left a mark and the mark looked like when you burned and it gets all red. I was hurting but I soon realized that I antagonized it and came at it and this was a lost dog so it probably was as scared as I was when it scratched me and I was  scared. This is when I thought about the many people who have done what I did . This moment is when I changed my life and focused it on help animals help their self.

This is what led me to do research on cases of animals being put down do to protecting it self. 71 percent of animals in 2016 have been put down and that is all I kind find . This is all caused by  the stupidity  of humans  harambe was killed because a parent was not watching their child and the child found his way into the gorilla enclosure and zoo keepers decided to shot harambe. Many cases like this have happened many times .  I still and always will believe that it is  wrong for animals to be put down due to protecting it self .
