Bianca V. Activists

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.

“Animal abuse is wrong,” Faye says. Faye Carey is a teen activist for animals. While most kids her age are spending time painting their nails and going shopping, Faye spends her time caring for abused or abandoned animals. Animal abuse and abandonment in an increasing problem all over the world. She is a true inspiration to many people all around the world.

I am an activist. Activism is a part of who I am because it provides me with a larger purpose in life. By fighting for the rights of others and working to improve the lives of all people, I feel better about myself and about the world as a whole. With activism, I can say proudly that my life and the work I do will make a difference in the lives of others, and that is truly all I want in life.

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.

Activist are those people who are attracted by new challenges and experiences, they don't mind trying anything at least once and they put themselves in action

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.

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.

You might say you’re an animal lover but do you care for it? Faye Carey is teen activist who studies animals. Some things you could say about Faye is that she doesn’t quit at anything and that she’ll keep moving forward even when there’s tough situations to make. One example, is she manages to re-home more than sixty dogs. Here are some things I’ve learned about Faye and some things that you can learn from me!

Have you ever seen the ASPCA commercials where they show pictures of abused and neglected animals while the Sarah McLachlan song “In the Arms of an Angel” plays in the background? It is heart wrenching to watch and I always want to help those poor, defenseless animals. I took this opportunity to volunteer at the Town and Country Animal Shelter; a non-profit, no-kill shelter run entirely by volunteers serving eastern Nebraska and beyond. They are dedicated to providing a safe and caring living facility for pets in need until a loving home can be found, as well as helpful information for those wishing to rehome or adopt an animal. I chose this organization because they are a no kill shelter and they take in animals of all different sorts.

What is a teen activist? A teen activist is a teenager who wants to help people or animals for a cause. What I think about all teen activists is that they all fight for what they believe in. They go to extensive lengths to help people to help us. They don't do this because they have to they do it because they want to do it. They don't care that the odds were against them or they have very little chance of succeeding. They do what they want and the do it right.They are like the voice of the people fighting up against poverty and all the other struggles in the world. Most activists go through a lot like Malala but I won't get to deep into that yet. They all have the courage to do what they do.

Well, luckily, there are shelters in different places that help animals that aren’t able to take care of themselves. Did you know that every year 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats enter animal shelters in U.S.? If you think that figure was huge, now imagine around 1.5 million of them are being euthanized every year because the shelter doesn’t have enough money or volunteers (ASPCA) to take care of them. However, this number can be significantly reduced if we start to make a change. With my speech, I would like to persuade you to from now on look for pets in a shelter instead of a pet store. In order to do this, I will provide information about the differences between shelters and pet stores, reasons to adopt a pet, and how to do it.

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. According to an article, "So I advertised him on TradeMe

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
