Good morning‚ teachers and friends. Never has a wildlife faced such great threats of extinction as in the last few decades. We bulldoze forests to make way for concrete jungles‚ depriving many species of the flora and fauna native to their habitats. We dump all types of waste into our rivers and seas‚ doing irreparable damage to freshwater and marine species. We hunt for sport and use animal parts to cater to our exotic tastes. All our actions are resulting in the dwindling of wildlife. We are losing

I started to drift off as the narrator began describing a man named Theodore Robert Bundy as an intelligent‚ articulate‚ and charming member of society‚ but what woke me up and held my attention for the duration of the film was the narrator’s abrupt change in tone and the coldly stated fact that “Ted Bundy raped and murdered scores of women by strangling and mutilating his victims.” This seemingly perfect
