You don’t have to go very far outside of your community to find some charity that needs your support. Little Lambs of Utah is just outside of your own community, though it is often overlooked. Many seem to believe you have to go far outside of your community to find a charity organization, but you don’t. If you want to make a different in the world the best place to start is in the community. Donate to your local community organizations, like Little Lambs of Utah, and see how much of a difference it can
The Tiger Booster Club meet in October and planned their meals for the Tiger Jamboree. The group plans to serve a noon meal and supper on Friday, December 18th and a noon meal on Saturday, December 19th. The group also discussed selling Tiger apparel and gift certificates for apparel or Italian Cream Sodas at the Christmas Bazaar. We will look into the possibility of having a booth, but if not we sell apparel and stadium seats during the Jamboree as well as gift certificates for stocking stuffers.
Most of us have pets and consider them part of the family. As a result, we could never imagine the horror some animals are forced to endure at the hands of their caretakers. This particular ad depicts a powerful visual of a neglected dog, in poor health, chained to what seems to be a barrel. The copy in the ad, while minimal, is powerful: “Help Us Help them” and the words “Donate Today” (ASPCA). This ad is a public service announcement to bring awareness to the community concerning the horrors of animal abuse, its helpless victims, and to compel the public to make a financial donation to put an end to animal cruelty.
I would like to find more ways to get more people involved in saving these beautiful animals from horrible living environments and needless
Not only do these clubs recognize academic excellence, they also provide many opportunities for community service. Blood drives, food drives and Operation Christmas Child are only a few of the projects that we participate in throughout the year. I am
The Inhumanity Zoos all around the world are being criticized over the treatment of their captive animals. The animals are being treated unjustly everyday. By going to zoos, people are unknowingly encouraging it. Animals are mistreated in many different ways based off of their living conditions, what they eat, and so much more. These things can lead to behavioural and physical health issues in both the animals and/or visitors.
Another example of a person who helps with animal adoption is Bianca V. in the article she states, “I think we are making an impact in our community,” What she is doing by making an impact is doing collection drive for local animal shelter, a walk-a-thon to raise money, and she started pennie for paws that her school will donate money for animal shelters. Bianca V. is making a very big impact on her community, she is helping her community and giving others ideas of how they can help also. Now do you think that no one help out? Well you should
That is how zoos help with providing benefits. The zoos are also very
When I tell people that I’m volunteering at the zoo, the looks I get tell me all I need to know. When I say “zoo”, people think of caged animals, mistreated and afraid, people think of higher ups using and profiting on innocent creatures, people think of roadside attractions and petting zoos. And while uncertified zoos can certainly be corrupt, certified zoos are entirely misrepresented by much of modern media. They play an invaluable part in conservation, protecting individual animal welfare, and promoting education and awareness to the general public. The longer we hold them back with accusations and boycotts, the harder it is for animals in captivity and out to survive.
Economically for a business to survive anything must be done no matter the cost even if it means cutting corners by violating animal rights through means of captivity, holding them against their own will. This is the basis of reasoning to why Zoos and aquariums have such little regard towards the basic necessities of these creatures. These facilities have proved to be a very profitable business and a very successful industry as they flood billions of dollars a year into the United States economy alone. Their presence heavily contributes to the flow of capital in the economy, “AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums in 2013 to be $17.2 billion”
For these reasons, among others, zoos are ultimately more detrimental than helpful to the animals in them. In some instances, it is realistic that the staff at these zoos may give insufficient care to the numerous needs of these wild animals, not out of the desire to harm them, but potentially out of the lack of the right tools these animals need. There are also often not enough funds to supply each animal or species with their own unique requirements. Large, untamed animals cannot be expected to thrive in enclosures, however, acquiring larger areas of land for them or specialty food for their specific diets would substantially increase the budget of a zoo.
Small acts of kindness can make this happen by supporting people and families through donations, bring people happiness, and help people in poverty through tough times. Kindness can be shown in many ways such as donations. Donating to organizations such as the salvation army, goodwill, habitat for humanity, and many others can help families and people save money on clothes and other items donated to those places. “One of the best gifts you can give to an animal is a donation of a blanket to your local animal shelter during the winter months.” - Carrie Ann Inaba.
“If we are justified in keeping animals in zoos, it must be because there are some important benefits that can be obtained only by doing so” (Animal Rights 152). In the economy that we live in today, we all know that humans can be very cruel towards animals when it comes to earning money. For entertainment, we pay money to observe animals in a small enclosed area as they slowly suffer. Zoos do not benefit the society and should be banned altogether. People may argue that zoos are very educational and safe to all animals and humans, but those statements are only made to help profit a zoo.
If you are a pet lover, and you do not donate to the SPCA, you are left with a feeling of shame for your inability to donate. Guilt like pity, go hand in hand to achieve the same ultimate goal. A monthly donation that turns into a yearly donation, that turns into hundreds and thousands of dollars to save animals from
To keep and improve, society will still have entertainment and businesses will profit from these performances including animals. The AZA contributed more than 100 million to fund conservation projects 2011. AZA certified zoos and aquariums have funded over 2,500 conservation projects in more than 100 countries and spend on average $160 million on conservation initiatives yearly. Further legislation, as well as adjustment of the zoo model, can address welfare issues without abandoning the entire wildlife park concept in total. Prohibiting all types of animal confinement for the safety of animals can be beneficial towards most animals, however, obviously affect the economy negatively.
