Reflection

The goal of our project was to raise awareness about abused animals. We believe that we can change the way animals are treated in our community. First, we had to research animal abuse by looking in books, on websites, in magazine articles, and in newspapers. Our group also surveyed ten adults and ten children about what they thought of animal abuse. Then we interviewed a man that works as an animal investigator named Mr. Stress. He works with abused animals every day. After that, we used our information to write our final paper.

After completing this research project, our group's view on animal abuse has changed. When we first started, we thought animal abuse was just being mean to an animal. Now we realize that it really is much more than that. We learned that testing on animals in laboratories and neglecting animals are also forms of abuse. Even having too many pets, or hoarding, is abuse. (http://animalabuseisbad.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-is-hoarding.html)
