Re: YOU - helping animals! | | I am a vegetarian (not so for the rest of my family but they don't eat much meat)
Every animal we have had was either a stray, shelter (he was free, from a high kill shelter) or was posted for free in the newspaper and one was given to us by a friend because she couldn't keep it any longer.
I am in the process of trying to let my parents let me volunteer at a rescue or shelter, as well as find a rescue or shelter that will let me volunteer (I'm too young to for most)
We don't shop at petstores that sell animals
I would try to stop people I see buying the crappiest food for there pets, but my mom would kill me if I did (she is very polite). Believe me, when I go shopping when I'm older I will.
So far on another forum I have gotten about 10 people to switch there pet from an awful food to the better ones.
I only use vegan products (minus hand soap since I haven't gotten my mom to yet) and am working on the rest of my family to.
I feed the birds in our yard and not the bad stuff with additives and chemicals.
We garden without pesticides and fertilizers.
Take very good care of our animals, proper diet was researched and is fed.
