Volunteer Work

Now, I don't know about you but I LOVE to volunteer. As a teenager it's hard to find volunteer work to do, a lot of other organizations make it so you have to be 16 or older to do the jobs that involve more direct contact with the animals. I decided to do some research, between my local Humane Society and the SCRAPS organization and a little help from my friends and fellow activist, I've come up with a few simple ways to help:
  1. Volunteer at the shelter to do what you are allowed to do, you don't need to work directly with the animals to help. Remember they also need help in the other areas.
  2. Raise awareness. Do what I'm doing right now. Set up a campaign and spread the word. Remember this can go for other social injustices to.
  3. Collect donations. Most shelters, if not all, accept donations of money and supplies.
If you think of any more ideas we would love to here them just leave them in the comments section or email them to us. I'm also leaving a link to the SCRAPS idea page where most of these suggestions came from.

The Facts

Now I know that none of us like hearing the cold hard truth about animal abuse but I'm here to tell you what you should know. Today I will be covering dog-fighting and other basic facts. Dog-fighting is a blood-sport put on for the entertainment of others. Fighting dogs are typically raised on short, heavy chains and are also regularly conditioned for fighting through the use of drugs. Many people who start out as street fighters think that they can make money by breeding and selling dogs for fighting, but most of these animals end up abandoned, abused, or killed. However, if these animals find a home, they are put onto a strict diet and exercise routine to condition their bodies for fighting. Some dogs are put on a treadmill to run while their owners leave. These dogs have their ears cropped and their tails docked close to their bodies. When these dogs are in a fight there are many people betting on them to win. However, if a dog loses their owner may lash out and brutal actio...

Recent Developments

Even though its not my day to post, I thought that this was news worthy. At 5:35 today I reached the end of my street, I was walking home from a volunteer babysitting job, when I noticed a border collie, however I can't be sure because, just sitting there. He appeared to be a house dog, and was well trained, he even had a mark where his collar should have been. However his fur was matted and dirty and he had some pink balls on his front left leg, his left eye is a clear blue with something come out of it while his other eye is brown. I stood by him and tried to get him to follow me down the street to my house but he wouldn't budge. After just a few minutes someone came happened  to pass me on their bike. They stopped and I asked if they knew who the dogs owner was they didn't and rode off the way they came to tell their parent. Just a few minutes after that some younger kids came by and I asked them the same question. One of them already knew the dog was there but didn...
