Animal Rights/animal cruelty

Question
Hi there,
I am doing a speech on Animal Cruelty. I am an activist on this, I am also a vegetarian. I would just like a little help on some of the main animal cruelty problems? I've been having a hard time finding websites about animal cruelty. So if you have anything you know about Animal Cruelty that would be great. Thank you.

Answer
Hi Serena,

I’m happy to help a fellow activist/veggie. What topic are you interested in, sadly animals are abused in so many ways that you may want to focus on one area. I have included a link below that will give you a fact sheet for several animal abuse industries. If you choose one of these areas I’m happy to give you more sites for your review. I hope this helps and write back to me if you would like some more information. And great speech choice. Try to incorporate visuals in your speech, they really bring the message home.

For the animals,

Robin

Expertise

I can answer general questions about many animal rights topics, to include animals in entertainment, factory farming, vivisection & research, animals used for clothing, veganism, etc.

Experience

I am a true animal lover. I started on my vegetarian path at the age of 12 and am vegan today. I believe we have abused our powers over animals and it is time we make some ethical changes. I choose to fight for animals because it is easier than just sitting around and watching the abuse continue to happen.

Organizations
I am a volunteer member of several organizations to include; PETA, PCRM, Sea Shepherd, Farm Sanctuary, HSUS, MARC, and Grey2K. The closest organization to my heart is The Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. This place is truly amazing and its run by some really cool compassionate people. You can check them out at http://www.woodstocksanctuary.org/

Many years caring for different species of animals.
