Animals are living creatures and most of us often forget that. Although they cannot speak our language, they can understand us and often suffer from human cruelty. Just because people are stronger does not mean they have the right to abuse animals. These little (or big) creatures can't help themselves sometimes, Here are some ways you can contribute to animal welfare without spending a dollar.
Volunteer at an animal shelter
If you can't donate money to animal shelters, you can volunteer at one of them. You don't have to have any special skills to help animals. You can do the simplest things, like feed the animals, take the dogs for a walk, clean cages or participate in fundraising.
Report any animal abuse
If you know someone who beats their pets to death or doesn't feed them for weeks, report the abuse. No one has the right to abuse animals and leave them hungry, in pain and sick. Don't be silent. Let others know how that person treats animals. In this way, you can save the lives of those poor living things.
Stop buying items that contain animal products
Break the habit of buying things that contain animal products. Many beauty products, especially face creams, lotions and lipsticks, contain products of animal origin, so make sure you don't buy them. When shopping for clothing, look for cruelty-free brands and avoid anything that includes leather, silk, fur, and wool.
Change your diet and eat more vegetables
As you look at a steak and it looks delicious, think about how an animal was killed so that you can eat that steak. Today most people know the shocking truths of factory farming, but they think it should be so or they are too selfish to think about animal life. Switching to a vegetable-based diet is one of the ways easier to reduce the demand for animal products and contribute to animal welfare.
Feed the stray birds
It is not necessary to buy expensive and delicious food for stray animals, they will be grateful for a piece of bread. If you see a stray dog, don't be afraid of it. Give him something to eat and he will thank you. When you have breadcrumbs at home, don't throw them away. Give them to the birds.
Do not go to zoos or circuses with animals
Animals in zoos and circuses are often beaten, abused, and tortured just for profit. Animals live in cages, they suffer from hunger and cold and nobody cares. Just imagine living this way and you will realize that zoos and circuses are not as fun as people think.
Animals deserve to live their lives free from abuse, pain, and suffering. Animals are sensitive, emotional, and intelligent. They are living creatures that need our help. Do not neglect them. It is also important that you teach your children to be kind to animals. Volunteer at animal shelters together with your kids or just feed the pigeons. You don't have to be rich to contribute to animal welfare. Are you going to follow any of these tips?
