"Every week the sanctuary takes in  animals which are desperately in  need of care and attention. At the  moment there are around a thousand.   The horses all lead as natural an  existence as possible.   It is heart-rending to see animals  who have suffered, but rewarding to  watch them regain their health and  confidence."

Yorks  Patrick writes about the National  Record of Achievement which records  pupils' progress.   "The NRA records a number of things  such as personal details,  achievements and experiences.   It could be useful in the future as  lots of employers will ask to see  them.   Having done the NRA for the first  year I honestly think it is a good  idea. When we leave school we will  have a document for life."  Diary Home News Flash Top Sport

I think it is very cruel to keep  animals in cages. Living in such a  a small space must be so boring.   But I also love seeing animals. And  they are safe in zoos: there are no  poachers or nets to be caught in.   So should zoos be kept open or  closed down. What do you think?"  Diary Home News Flash Top Sport

"It is a wonderful white bird. When  people see one at night they can  think they have seen a ghost!   Modern farming has had a bad effect  on the owls. There are only 4,500 breeding pairs left in Britain.   A scheme in Cheshire breeds and  releases them into the wild.   But they must only ever be set free  by experts."

"The Government is encouraging  people to have their benefits paid  directly into their bank accounts,  rather than picking them up from a  post office.   This could mean a big drop in the  village post offices' work.   Many sub-post offices could close.  And will elderly and other people  do if they shut? Local POs are at  the heart of a village."

"Fighting is undoubtedly evil, but  the people who fight are not  necessarily so.   Human instinct has probably been  the cause of many wars. At a really  basic level - if someone hits you,  you feel the urge to hit back.   Can we live without war? It is hard  to imagine a peaceful world. But I  am not happy with "victory" knowing  it results from many deaths."  Diary Home News Flash Top Sport

"Some breeders inject certain fish  with coloured dyes to make them  look, and sell, better.   The species affected include Glass,  Angel fish and Corydoras catfish.   They are known as "disco fish" and  many of them are injured and die.   It is a great shame to see fish  that are already beautiful being  treated in this way."  Diary Home News Flash Top Sport

"Otter hunting was common in the  1200s and continued until 1978 when  it was finally made illegal.   But since then the number of otters  has dropped dramatically. They are  affected by pollution in the rivers  and the increase in water sports.   Now the Otter Trust is building  artificial homes to encourage them  to breed. The good news is that  otter numbers are rising again."  Diary Home News Flash Top Sport
