3. ~Animal abuse comes in many different types. Such as animal testing, illegal dog fighting and unintentional neglect. All of these types of abuse can be preventable with enough awareness and responsibility by the owner. 1) Animal Testing. 2) Illegal Dog Fighting. 3) Unintentional Abuse/Neglect.

4. ~Animal Testing~ ~ Animal testing is also known as animal experimentation, animal research and in vivo testing, is the use of non-human animals in experiments. ~Over 100 million animals- mice, rats, dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, birds, and among others are killed in U.S. laboratories for chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing every year.

5. ~Illegal Dog Fighting~ ~ In some cases people have deliberately abused and tortured animals for the purpose of making the animal fight for the gambling and “entertainment” purposes, including the profit that was invested from the bull baiter.

6. ~ Unintentional Abuse / Neglect~ ~ Animal abuse is a worldwide silent epidemic that goes largely unnoticed until it is too late. The most common cause of animal neglect is irresponsible owners who do not take into consideration that animals need more attention than intended. ~ Animal cruelty can be simple abuse such as beating, kicking, torturing for fun or for malicious purposes. ~ Animal neglect is the failure to take proper care of an animal.

7. In my product I volunteered at Brother Wolf No Kill Animal Shelter. I spent almost nine hours observing certain animals and helping them out by taking care of some daily tasks. I have proof of my experiences in the scrapbook that I created with pictures and captions of what I learned.

8. My mentors name is Joelle and she is one of the few founders of Brother Wolf No Kill Animal Shelter. She has taught me that no matter what the situation, an animal is still abused in some type of way.

9. Successes & Challenges *Successes* ~ My greatest successes were learning all kinds of new and interesting things about animal abuse. By doing this project I hope to raise better awareness for how common this issue really is. *Challenges* ~ My biggest challenges was going into the shelter without adopting a new friend each time. ~ Time management was another concern that I had throughout this project because I chose to do more in detailed things verses going the simpler way.
