I'm sure someone will help you but you haven't really given enough
information yet.

Is the code you posted the whole of your program? If so please say so
explicitly because it looks like only part of a program to me and you
should show the whole code for anyone to understand what you're doing.

Also you say that it is giving you grief but we need more than that.
Is it showing an error message? If so please copy/paste the whole
error message and traceback. Here's an example showing what happens
when I run your program as shown above (saved into a file called
tmp.py):

$ python tmp.py
  File "tmp.py", line 5
    animal = program.animal()
         ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block

What that error means is that you need to indent everything inside the
3rd for loop on line 5.
