Sarah McLachlan has approximately 30 million views on youtube alone of the music video “In the Arms of an Angel.” Many know this as a commercial. Overall, it supports animal rights and asks for donations for the animal rights program that was started. In support of these unspoken loves, Sarah McLachlan did a special contribution of a music video to help aid animal rescue and treatment. As an animal rights activist, she spends her time trying to gain rights for those without a voice. Although she is backed by producers, sponsors and managers, she holds this close to heart and the impact that her work spreads. In addition, the gain from this outreach is to the helpless animals in homes that are unable to help themselves.

Fay carrie is a highschool girl that works her butt of for animals. Now, most people, donate money, or work at different animal shelters. But she knew how to hit hard. Social Media. On facebook she created a page dedicated to the adoption of dogs and cats, entitled Animal re-home Waikato.

Even though many animals are still being abandoned by their owners, many Teen Activists and shelters are saving animal lives. One example of a Teen Activist is Lou Wegner, he and his animal activism group that uses social networking to encourage adoption at high kill shelters, KAAC was founded two years ago. Wegner established KAAC after volunteering at a local animal shelter in Los Angeles during the filming of his short film Be Good To Eddie Lee. Wegner says it was heartbreaking to see dogs crying in their cages, it broke his heart to know that the dogs would be put down.

Faye Carey is another teen activist who fights for pet abandonment. For example, an article explained how she spends every Friday at Animal Control, plus three hours every night. She does so many things to re-home animals. Faye puts her all into pet abandonment. Also, in the time that Faye is at the Animal Control, she advertises the animals. NewsHub wrote how she has a Facebook page called “Animal Re-home Waikato” where she posts pictures of the animals. Faye currently has 300 likes on her page. This shows that Faye wants to show the world that there are some animals that are in serious need of homes. In addition, Faye saw an animal at the shelter that need a home. She felt bad for him.

The street that the humane society is on is sketchy, houses were run down. About every 5 to 6 houses were kept up. The people living there were grungy looking, some looked like they may or may not have been on drugs. The animals that the people owned barked all the time and even just walking around, not in a cage or even in the house. Some of the house’s doors were just open as if they didn’t care if someone did come in. With the place in a sketchy neighborhood, people aren’t willing to go to the humane society. People aren’t coming to the humane society to adopt the animals and the ones that do go are college students that aren’t supposed to have pets. Most of the students don’t have the money to keep the animal healthy anyways, they go just to have something to do with their

Have you heard of an Activist? An activist is a person who wants to make the world a better place. But have you heard of a teen activist? A teen activist is a teen who has an idea to change the world to make it a better place. This essay is about how these three teen activist cared about the environment and the people.

(Charity Navigator, 2015, Charity rating) These numbers are a far cry from what Mr. Bergh told the Governor of New York when he paid a visit to the ASPCA and he stumbled over a hole in the old, tattered carpet and told Mr. Bergh to buy better carpet and send him the bill, Mr. Bergh simply replied, “No, thank you, Governor. But send me the money, and I will put it to better use for the animals. (as cited in Winograd, 2012, ¶3)” Moreover, for the last 15 years, the shelters, rescue groups, feral cat caretakers and No Kill proponents who have tried to restore Bergh’s vision through the No Kill revolution have been opposed by those like past ASPCA CEO Ed Sayres, supported by a Board of Directors content to count the money, all of whom appear intent on squandering Bergh’s noble legacy. When we look back on Mr. Berg’s life’s mission and what he wanted to accomplish and then look at the ASPCA today, one must wonder what happened? While it is not an easy task to undertake, we will take a look at animal “shelter”

Since being involved in a dog rescue organization, I’ve learned a lot about how an animal control shelter works. They are not just people who will take your dog if they get out of the yard. They are animal lovers who try their best to educate the community pet population control and help homeless pets find a new home. I sat down with a friend of mine who I met through the animal rescue group with both volunteer with to find out more about a day in the life of a shelter worker.

The director of this animal shelter, Kelly Goedel, says that the cause of animal homelessness is primarily the lack of spaying and neutering along with the lack of commitment that pet owners have to their companion (Goedel). Spaying and neutering is sometimes avoided by pet owners because it is an extra expense or they may feel as if it is unnecessary. This challenge leads to an excess in animal populations without there necessarily being and increase in homes for these animals. The challenge of overcoming pet overpopulation becomes even more difficult because of a lack of funding. According to the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley, only about 20 percent of their funding comes from local government (Goedel). Therefore, they are very reliant on donors and community funds to help finance their organization. The funding issue circles back to complicate the process of getting homeless pets spayed and neutered to attempt to solve the root cause of animal overpopulation.

I decided to start volunteering at the local humane society because I’ve always been really passionate about animals and wanted to start benefiting them in the community. Prior to my service I was delighted because I’ve wanted to start volunteering for years and was glad the opportunity had presented itself. Throughout my experience I learned a great deal and met a lot of new people. Even though I’ve only just started serving my time at the Fox Valley Humane Association I can truly see the difference it has made in the community.

Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in pursuit of ending such criminal means, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the horrific crimes of animal deaths in shelters. It is no secret that this world has become infused with problems that have extended from one side of the globe to the other. Amongst these problems lies a terrible truth: nearly every year, sums of almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these vast numbers, half will be

A harmless visit to the neighborhood pet store turns into a ruthless encounter for me. Every Saturday, Pecan (my dog) and I visit a local pet store to purchase food and treats for her. Pecan and I pass by a dozen of shelter volunteers eagerly showcasing homeless dogs before entering the pet store. Shelter volunteers are special because they are willing to devote their Saturday morning to help homeless pets. On the way I stop and great each volunteer and dog, then I walk away emotionally grieving and trying to holding back tears. My sadness soon turns into anger, when I realize I cannot adopt every homeless pet. The pet population is a increasing crisis in America. In this essay I will discuss the cause and effect of homeless
