Just one?
What action would I like you to take? Well, that's the fun part! I am going to list a whole bunch of options!
Go to your local shelter and walk a dog, play with a cat, or clean a cage.
Participate in Meatless Monday and eat only plant-based dishes on Monday (or another day!).
Clean up trash in a local park, beach or open space.
Bake a vegan dessert for your co-workers.
Go online to your favorite animal sanctuary or animal rights group website and make a donation. $25.00 goes a long way.
Wear a t-shirt that has a supporting statement for animals to the gym or when you are going out.
Post on your Facebook page and/or on Twitter what you are doing to help animals and spread the word (and hopefully the interest for your friends to do the same).
And you thought this would be difficult! No way! It's so easy. And I'm sure every one of our readers could think of several other easy actions to take.
We may not be able to stop all animal suffering but we each have the power to take simple actions and make simple steps in making the world a better, safer, less cruel place for animals.
