500,000 year ago, humans appeared on the Earth.  And they started to slaughter wild animals and turn them into profitable products.  As we evolve, we cut down forests to make paper, we also started to build a lot of roads, skyscrapers, factories and highways. At the same time, we feed some animals and kills them for meat. We are also conducting experiments on animals for more profit. Many animals are suffering. We turned the whole world into an immense dumpster and we feel like we are the ruler/king of the universe. But a UFO comes, and when they look around, they feel unhappy when they see the damage humans have caused to the environment. So they decide to punish humans.

this story tells us don’t pollute the environment, not to kill animal so often, he is pollute the ocean.
This story tell us the importance of wild animals and nature, it warns us about the dangerous situations of many wild lifes. Humans have too much power over nature, so it is our responsibility to protect the environment and provide a better living condition for other creatures.

Our greed lead us here, therefore we should change our attitude towards nature.
