Question
I am doing a school project regarding animal abuse and cruelty, and I was wondering if you could help. What types of things could I do to work toward a solution of the issue? Is there a part of the issue that you would like to focus on when planning your action?
Hi Drae,
I would love to help, the first solution is to promote veganism (not eating or consuming any animal products whatsoever).
Educate yourself to what actually happens with this issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIjanhKqVC4
And then try in a peaceful way to spread the message that human beings do not need to consume animals or their products. We would be a better, healthier and more humane world if everyone would stop eating/killing and using animals.
I focus on factory farmed (animals raised for food) animals because they are the most abused animals on our planet. 10 billion per year are slaughtered in barbaric ways for humans to consume, and in turn, humans get sick (our country is a very unhealthy place).
Hope this helped!

I can answer almost all questions about animals raised for food... and the horrifying truths of the abuse and torture these animals endure. Also, about the health ramifications of eating animals or their products, i.e. heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and a host of other diseases linked to our diets. Any questions on existing on a plant based diet, solely, raw diet and the health benefits.
