This week is animal rights awareness week. This week is all about education in regards to the way certain businesses sell or experiment on animals (particularly pet stores, puppy mills, and certain labs). Cruelty towards animals creates suffering and sometimes results in death.

Here at Yep Yup, we believe that animals have the right to live in a safe environment in which they’re well taken care of. The more we are able to educate people and business about the animal rights movement and how certain businesses and people misuse animals, the better.

So how can you help animals during Animal Awareness Week and going forwards? Here are just a few ways you can help:

1.       Provide Food to your local shelter

2.     If you own a pet store, host an animal's awareness week of your own and educate your customers how they can help. Collect donations or donate a percentage of your sales for the day, week, month, etc...

3.       Provide care to a rescued animal. Volunteer your time or services.

4.       Advocate for shelter animal adoption.

5.       Never adopt an “exotic” animal. Doing so, perpetuates the vicious, black market cycle.
