I love animals \u2013 all kinds of animals.  That\u2019s why I became an Earth Ranger.  When I grow up I hope to be a veterinarian or a zoo keeper.  I chose to protect the Woodland Caribou because it was Christmas and <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Santa needs his reindeer<\/strong><\/span>.  Because it was Christmas, my Grandma and Grandpa donated.  So did my mom and my dad.  Then I made and sold chocolate chip cookies.  Canada has so many awesome animals.  When I grow up I don\u2019t want all our amazing animals to be gone.  I think more kids should become Earth Rangers because it is up to us to <span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>save the wild animals of Canada<\/strong><\/span>.
