This week has really shown me a lot about the societal issues that are occurring in our own communities. They are often pushed into the shadows out of ignorance and fear,resulting in a compounding problem for underserved individuals. The whole experience has really impassioned me to be a more active citizen. While our group worked with impoverished people, I find that the issue draws many parallels with that of my own personal passion- animal rights. The well being and livelihood of non-human beings are often passed over in our daily lives. I believe it is my responsibility to identify and educate people on the gruesome injustices animals face at the hands of human consumption.
I am declaring that I will make my passion for animal justice a priority and forefront theme in my daily life. I will continue to practice a compassionate and cruelty-free vegan lifestyle. However, I will also take more public steps in order to increase awareness and hopefully enlighten more people to stop the exploitation of animals. I have already gotten in contact with Animal Rights Florida- a group based out of Orlando that organizes protests and rallies for the well-being of animals. I will collaborate with them and attend events that bring injustice to the public eye. It is my duty as an active citizen to enthusiastically participate in breaking the cycle of mindless consumption of other living beings. I can start this weekend by
attending the aforementioned group’s protests at the Ringling Brothers circus which is at the Amway Center for the next several days. I will continue to actively participate in events that reflect my passion for animal rights and expose injustice in my community.
This class has taught me so much and has really inspired me to start acting on my passions. I'm so thankful for the whole experience and all the wonderful people I have gotten to know a bit since Monday. Thank you all so much for being such amazing and enthusiastic people!
Love,
Kristyn
