Five Ways to Protect Animals
It's easy to help animals, no matter how old you are.
1. Going vegan
Going vegan means that you don't eat, wear, or use anything that comes from an animal, such as meat, milk, eggs, leather. Just by going vegan, you will save the lives of more than 100 animals every year!
2. Volunteer at your local animal shelter
Animal shelters are always in need of more help! Whether you are helping by walking dogs, cleaning out water bowls, or hanging up signs, they have a job for you. You could make a big difference in the lives of homeless dogs, cats, and other animals!
3. Don't support animals in entertainment
Animals are alive for their own reasons, not to entertain us. Refuse to support this cruelty by never going to a marine park or circus that uses animals.
4. Pledge to be fur-free!
Even just “a little bit” of fur trims on mittens, boots, and collars caused tremendous suffering for an animal who was abused and killed on a fur farm or trapped and killed in the wild. Help protect animals by refusing to buy or wear any fur.
5. Tell your friends!
Share with your friends why you have decided to stick up for animals and encourage them to get involved too.
