Every first and third Thursday in Room 112 the Animal Rights Club is in full swing with students of all grade levels passionate about the prevention of animal cruelty and spreading awareness.

“Most people are in the dark about what’s going on,” advisor Terry Brodsky said.

Members are very passionate about spreading the message of animal cruelty and the effects that it has on all involved.

““We’ve organized a drive for supplies for [animal] shelters like the Lowell Humane Society, Kitty Angels, and Greyhound Friends. Last year we also participated in Meatout on March 20th. Kids could sign up and pledge how long they wouldn’t eat meat,” junior Devon Lindsey, a three year member said.

This year the Animal Rights Club is planning to use the Holiday Bazaar for advertising awareness. They will distribute pamphlets with information about animal mistreatment, ask for donations for veterinary care, and maybe have vegetarian food be served.

“We want students to take away a feeling of empowerment and make the world a better place for non-human animals. We can all do something to help all animals,” Brodsky said.

The Animal Rights Club meets every first and third Thursday of every month after school in Room 112.
