Teens can do a lot to help stop animal cruelty. More and more teenagers are becoming morally aware at such a young age that they are already making a difference in our society. According to Gandhi, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” If a moral teenager sincerely wants to help make this world a better place, then a good place to start is to help the animals on this planet.

The Humane Society of the United States is an organization that can give teens advice to help stop animal cruelty. Here one can learn how to properly care for dogs and cats if they have them, how to get involved in the community to promote the prevention of animal cruelty, and can learn how to stop animal abuse if they witness it firsthand. Teenagers really want to do the right thing and usually just need the guidance of adults to point them in the right direction.

Another great thing teens can do to help prevent cruelty to animals is to start a club at their school to help combat animal abuse. Just by talking to the school administration about forming this type of club, they could start a very positive trend in your district.

By working together in a club for such a worthwhile cause, these young group members would help not only the animals but also raise community awareness of the issue. By organizing and running fundraisers, teens could donate the money raised to local animal shelters, which typically rely on meager donations.

With people like Hayden Panettiere and Britney Spears doing their part to stop cruelty to animals, many more teens may be more motivated to help in the fight against animal abuse. There is a lot of information available for teens regarding learning how to stop animal abuse and helping your community become more involved in the effort. You just have to let your fingers click when it comes to learning how one can get involved in this great moral effort.
