What kinds of things do u plan on doing?
Raising awareness, raising money for shelters, getting together volunteering groups, getting the word out about how to close down the horrid places these animals are bred in.
I have tables and fundraisers at my school for these types of issues surrounding animals and the environment. You can contact PETA(people for the ethical treatment of animals) for supplies to help spread the word. I have raised a lot of money for my local animal shelter to help the cats/dogs in the shelter and raise awareness for animal shelters!
PETA is a propaganda game aimed at children. I will have no part in it.

I understand what you mean. I do not approve of PETA's ways and most of their morales. They take these things way to far- to the point of making animal activists look like horrible people. The only supplies I use from PETA are stickers that say "dont chain dogs" and "dont test on animals". I refuse to give them the money/donations I raised and instead gave the donations to my local animal shelter and WWF (world wildlife fund) on Earth Day. Sorry I gave you the wrong impression. I feel the same way and wish PETA would stop making us look like "freaks".
Yeah. I support animal testing, because it cures diseases. One day we'll find a better way but not right now.
I'm involved in the issue of puppy mills as well and applaud your project. If you really want to make a lasting difference and you're up for it, you should write to your state legislators! My friend and I eventually got a law passed about mass breeding facilities. Also, I just wanted to comment about your support of animal testing. I agree with you that some tests on animals help find cures for human diseases, but I do take issue with people sticking needles in animals for the testing of superfluous cosmetic products like Botox, wrinkle reducers, shampoos, etc. I urge you to explore this aspect of animal testing as well before saying you support all testing on animals. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Look up ASPCA. They're an organization that actually cares about animals and I'm sure they'll be able to help you out
