Rainforests disappear daily. Endangered species are hunted for their pelts. Dolphins drown in tuna nets. Domestic and industrial waste pollutes the seas. The problem with the damage being done to the ozone layer is that it is more difficult to believe in. It has no veracity or immediacy for the majority of the public because they can’t see it. The man in the street does not feel that it is his problem.

The ozone layer is what protects all life on earth from the harmful effects of the sun's ultra violet rays. During the last fifty years or so it has been subjected to a barrage of man-made chemicals,chiefly chlorofluoro carbons or, as they are more familiarly known as CFCs. These gases and their agents are ubiquitous in our society.

Where would we be without factories, refrigerators-domestic and industrial, air-conditioning apparatus, solvents, and last, but definitely not least, aerosol sprays? How many homes are without their air fresheners, hair-sprays, furniture polish, deodorants, flysprays? All of there are part and parcel of domestic life....

Rabbits

Southern Europe is the place of origin of the rabbit. It is found in varying quantities in every continent on the globe; but the main producing sections are the central and southern parts of Europe and Australia. There is a very interesting species of the rabbit that was originally found in the Porto Santo-Madeira Islands , which lie off the northwestern coast of Africa , that is known as the "silk Rabbit".

Its home is in runways of burrows that it makes in the ground, usually among low-lying bushes. The food of the rabbit consists of soft parts of plants, such as leaves, buds, or roots; and when it can find them it will eat vegetables and garden plants in preference to other plants.

Something of the prolific nature of the rabbit can readily be seen from the fact that it breeds every five weeks from March to October, and each litter (помет) has from 5 to 12 young. These young are immature (незрелый) and naked when born; but in the warm climates they develop so rapidly that in 5 months they are fully matured. In the colder climates, however, the maturing process takes 12 months.

The elders are more careful of their young than the hares are, and the loss (потери) during infancy is not so great as in the latter species.
