Animal Lifecycles 動物的生命週期
作者:Vivian Chiu 趙明明
出版:Education Department, SPCA (HK) 香港愛護動物協會教育部
簡介:“Animal Life Cycles” is the second booklet in the Responsible Pet Ownership Kit.

「動物的生命週期」是「飼養寵物的責任-兒童學習手冊」內的第二本書冊。

In simplified language, it explains that every living thing on earth has a life cycle. All animals go through different stages of development but depending on the species they may have different lifespans: they may live two years or twenty. So potential pet owners need to be aware of the care an animal needs at different stages of its life before deciding to bring one home. A pet is for life, and not to be dumped on the street when the novelty wears off.

簡單來說,這本書冊解釋世上所有生物都有生命的週期。所有動物都會經過不同階段的發展,但牠們壽命長短則取決定牠們的類別,壽命可能只有兩年,也或許二十年。因此準寵物主人必須在決定把動物帶回家前,要清楚明白動物在不同生命階段所需的照顧。寵物是跟隨您一生一世的,絕不能因缺乏新鮮感後便棄養牠們在街上。
