Teacher Tries to Fly With Kitten but Has No Travel Box
Listen to the story
A teacher wanted to take a kitten on a plane.
He did not have a carrier for the kitten.
A carrier is a small box for an animal.
He went to the airport to fly.
The airport also had no carrier for him.
This made it hard for the teacher to travel with the kitten.
Animal news from France also talked about other animal problems.
In Marseille, someone threw a six-month-old kitten from a high floor.
The kitten was in a plastic bag.
This was very cruel to the animal.
Cruel means very bad and unkind.
At a puppy event in Poitiers, two men stole eighteen animals.
The men wore masks on their faces.
A mask covers your face so people cannot see who you are.
These stories show problems with animal safety.
Safety means being safe from harm.
