even special
hospitals, which help wild animals. There are
a lot of television films about wildlife. They are very popular with children and grown
ups. A lot of British families have 'bird tables' in their gardens. Birds
can eat from them during the winter months. The 'bird table' should
be high because cats can eat birds.
The British often think their animals are like people. For example in Britain
animals can have jobs like people. British Rail has cats and pays them for
their work. Their job is to catch mice. There is usually one cat per station.
They get food and free medical help. The cats don't catch a lot of mice but
they are very popular with the British Rail staff and travellers.
