"Every 60 seconds an animal is abused, so instead of hearing the facts and doing nothing, we need to educate ourselves, educate others, and make a proactive change." -Jackie and Hannah
Welcome back to Dive Right In with Jackie and Hannah! Following our One Year Anniversary episode last week, we wanted to continue providing quality content starting off with a dive into Animal Cruelty. This episode takes a different approach at some of our former episodes such as our Meat Industry episode with Maya Eisengart. After a riveting and high energy icebreaker question on which animals represent each other, we define what animal cruelty actually is. We also discuss a few statistics that really put the entire topic into perspective. For example, did you know that every 60 seconds an animal is abused? Did you know that 95% of a circus animal's life is spent in a cage? With the numbers in mind, we talk about animal cruelty by commission vs. animal cruelty by omission. Another vital part of Animal Cruelty is really breaking down how it can manifest and the ways Animal Cruelty is ever-present. We touch on this for a minute as we speak on types of cruelty. Another key aspect of Animal Cruelty is learning why animals are exploited and what they are exploited for. To end on a high-note, we talk about how we can help this cause and some action steps we can collectively take against it. A reminder that if you are personally triggered by the conversation of food or diets, please skip this episode. We hope you all enjoy the episode, and please wear a mask!
Love,
Jackie and Hannah
