Animals in Distress - For a Cruelty-Free Tomorrow

Firstly, thank you for taking the time for reading our blog, we’re Livvy and Hannah and for our Citizenship GCSE we have chosen to be advocates for a charity very close to our heart ‘Animals in distress’. As we know that you have probably heard of ‘animas in distress’ before, in our time supporting this charity, we would like to show people how they can help stop the problem of animal cruelty forever.

Helping out ‘animals in distress’ through donation is a big way in which you can do your bit to stop innocent lives being miss-treated. However, this doesn’t have to be money, spent and then nothing given back. You could give time by walking the dogs there, which is a simple enjoyable thing to do that means they don’t have to pay as much for staff to do this job. Or you could visit an ‘animals in distress’ charity shop; there are some in Babacombe, Brixham, Paignton, Newton Abbot, Dawlish, Totnes and Bovey Tracey. But money would be gladly appreciated as any donations in cash could be put towards more awareness of animal cruelty, rescuing abused and abandoned animals, and creating better facilities for the animals in their care. In addition, you could take a big step and adopt a dog, cat, rabbit, or a guinea pig. If you bought a dog from a breeder or such like, depending on its pedigree, it could cost from £200 to £700 or more. In ‘Animals in Distress’ a dog is just £120. It will have been cared for brilliantly from the first day it came to ‘animals in distress’ and whatever fear it may have had, will be cured as well as it could be. Furthermore, you might not want to go that far so you could adopt an animal who may not be ever ready to be rehomed; this could be a guinea pig, a cat, a goat, a cow, a horse or many more. To sponsor any of them, it only costs £20 a year. Here is a before and after picture of a puppy who was abused. Please help ‘animal in distress’ help other animals like this poor pup.

You may be thinking, ‘why should I care’, and we shall tell you this, because of humans these animals have been taken from their family’s and dropped into an alien world of human activity. Once they learn to respect their owner then they have a master, and hopefully a friend, for life.
