7. My Input…

animals and hate it when I here about the
poor abused animals and what people
have done to them.

is raise money if we had enough money
and people willing to help stop animal
abuse. And could possibly make a
difference.

and awareness for animal abuse are:
• ASPCA, PETA, hoovesandclaws, SPCAI,
Petside, BAAC, and American Humane.

stop so that these
poor animals can live
a happy abuse free
life, so many animals
could be alive right
now if animal abuse
stopped.

cruel, and they have
feelings also.
