Tips & Warnings
Report any animal abuse incident you witness immediately as every second could be the animal's last.
In some cases of animal abuse, you may have to attend court to help prosecute the individual accused of abusing the animal, so be mentally and emotionally prepared to stop animal abuse no matter how long it takes.
Never use illegal tactics, like breaking into a laboratory and freeing or stealing the animals, to stop animal abuse and testing as you could be arrested as a result.
