However, the young family that adopts a dog or cat from a rescue instead of buying one from a breeder makes just as big an impact in the life of that one animal. Most animal rights activists also walk the walk. In addition to protesting animal cruelty, they do their best to make sure they don’t contribute to it. They eat vegan diets, avoid wearing products made from animal hide, fur and leather, and don’t use consumer goods made from animal by-products. Save Animals From Exploitation
Animals can be exploited in numerous ways. Animals used in laboratory testing often undergo extreme pain, fear, discomfort, and finally death. The same is true of animals that are used in sports (both illegal and legal), such as dog fighting or bullfighting. Some animal rights activists specialize in a particular form of animal exploitation. They might target factory farms to dissuade farmers from raising animals for meat, eggs, and milk in inhumane ways, for example.
