the problem:

We are trying to solve the problem of animal cruelty and abuse in St. Louis City and County. There is a direct correlation between animal abuse and other violent actions towards humans, like domestic violence or child abuse. By stopping the animal abuse, we believe that levels of domestic violence and child abuse will also decrease.

why it's important:

Stopping animal abuse is an important issue that has been overlooked in the past. We believe that no animals deserves to be abused. It is completely unacceptable. As we visited several area animal shelters, we became even more passionate about the issue. We saw first hand the dogs that had been abused or neglected and the condition they were in. From physical to behavioral to psychological, many of the animals had many problems that were aftershocks of the initial abuse. It is so important to protect these animals, stop abusers, and make sure that each and every animal in St. Louis is in a safe living environment.

the plan of action:

The Humane Society of Missouri annually puts on "Bark in the Park", a fair and fundraising event that raises money for the Animal Cruelty Fund. At "Bark in the Park", there is a mile walk that costs $25 to participate. In addition to the money raised from team members, we also hope to raise additional money to donate to the Humane Society's Animal Cruelty Fund. We plan on starting a "Bark in the Park" team at our high school and to include our friends, teachers and peers in stopping animal abuse. All the money we raise will go to help the abused animals in St. Louis and Missouri.

how you can get involved:

We need people to sign up to take part in "Bark in the Park". With many participants, the Humane Society will be able to raise lots of money for the Animal Cruelty Fund. Also, volunteers are almost always needed at local animal shelters. Volunteering your time and giving your attention and love to animals who have been abused will help the rehabilitation process and educate the community about animal abuse.

the problem:

I want to stop animal cruelty for once . I know that plenty of people say things here and there but I want to be the one individual that actually stops it for good , or at least minimize it a lot .

vital stats:

people impacted:

people involved:

why it's important:

This is important to me because I love animals first and foremost. But also because animals are innocent they have done nothing to deserve the pain that people inflict on them , because of certain people just simply having a bad day . That is NO reason to take it out on a innocent animal that just wants to be loved.

the plan of action:

My plan if action is to put my project on Facebook , and to try and even get it to the News somehow about this needing to stop! I know many of people have done the same but somehow , some way i want to fix this problem !

how you can get involved:

Other people can help by helping me reach out to people , i live in a small town so anyone can just say something on there social network about this and it can end up getting across the country throughout friends of friends i plan on this being big !

the problem:

I would love for animals to stop being treated so badly. I think animals need to be treated the same as a human would be treated. A person wouldn't go around beating a human or being cruel to them. At least people can semi protect themselves, when animals don't have any defense.
