Who should we contact???

Question

MY friends and I are doing a report for school on things like animal abuse and animal trafficking. (or anything involving wildlife) Our report requires us to include an interveiw w/ someone, so who should we contact based on what we are writing about besides the zoo?

Answer 1

If you would like reliable and confirmable material contact the Ministry or Dept of Natural Resources, Wild life Division. Talking with PETA or the Humane Society will give you emotionally biased information , PETA and most humane societies are run with or supported by donation, which means that they will use emotional tactics to  bring their points across.

Answer 2

Michael Vick?

(Actually, the local chapter of the Humane Society would probably be helpful...)

Answer 3

I would suggest to send an e-mail to PETA. Someone can definitely talk to you about animal abuse there. I think it's the best way and I would certainly do it. I wouldn't suggest the zoo because believe it or not, they do beat animals and stuff like that to get them to listen and it's the same thing with things like the circus.

[Really, do you think zoo's just tell a tiger "Hey little buddy, I'm gonna put this leash around your neck, put you in this cage, and you won't attack me?". I think not. They taze and beat them with metal rods.]

Answer 4

A DNR official(deptmartment of natural resources) or a game warden depending on which state you live in should give you plenty of stats on animal abuse and trafficking problems.

Answer 5

The Humane Society

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals  (SPCA)

Do you have any animal reserves nearby?

Answer 6

You can also contact your local humane society. They deal with this often (but let's hope not too often)

Also the local animal control officers would be a good resource.

Answer 7

call your local humane society
