You are on the right track!

First of all, how cool that you ended up here on this blog post - it means you have a willingness to help animals, which is probably the most important thing if you want to make a difference.

We know that figuring out how to make a difference for animals can be overwhelming. You may have thought about what you can do for animals and how you can contribute to better animal welfare or how you can fight for animal rights. That's why we've put together five simple and effective ways to make a difference for animals.

Five ways to make a difference for animals

1. Stop eating animal products and switch to a plant-based diet

Going vegan is one of the most effective ways to reduce animal suffering. By stopping buying animal products, you're saying no to the way animals are treated and you're helping to reduce the demand for animal products. 

How can plant-based diets help animals?

You can read much more about how different conventional farms contribute to animal suffering. You can read about the industry behind milk, chickens, etc. or see the overview of our recommended resources.

2. Choose vegan when shopping for personal care, cosmetics and household products

Did you know that many products are tested on animals? This includes personal care products, cosmetics and household products. When shopping, look for labels like "vegan" and "cruelty-free" to check if products are tested on animals. Read more here.

3. Adopt animals - don't buy them. 

It's great if you like animals and want to help them. But consider how you can best help them, because most often it's not by getting a pet. Animals that are produced to be sold don't necessarily have good lives. While your intentions may be good, you should instead choose to adopt an animal that needs your help.

By eating plant-based, you can save thousands of animals in your lifetime!

4. Use your voice for the animals

You can make a huge difference for animals - by using your voice. Tell your friends and acquaintances about the difference they can make by eating plant-based, sign petitions to improve animal welfare, and share posts and articles that help raise awareness about the lives of animals. Your voice can make a huge difference - and an even bigger difference if you ask others to use their voice for animals too.



5. Support animal welfare organizations

Donate, become a member, volunteer or raise awareness of the organizations' work to improve animal welfare. Even the smallest support helps the organizations create a better life for animals. By supporting the organizations in whatever way you can, you help create a more compassionate world for all animals.
