Helping a good cause is always something that I like to do when it comes to photography. It does not matter if it's a big or a small case. A couple of months ago I was photographing out on an United Way fundraising campaign launched by Hershey Canada. Last week we were at York University shooting a fun event called 'York Against Animal Abuse'.
My friend Martini's course was organizing social movements at the York University campus. The assignment was to pick a cause which they felt passionate about - and create a social movement based on it. Martini, Stephanie and Sabrina chose the animal rights - and specifically focused on alerting the public about preventing animal abuse.
The girls had over 200 people come and visit their table at the Vari Hall, on last Friday at the University. 150 of those people filled out surveys and pledged to help to put an end to the animal abuse.
Having two already rescued pets on the location proved that most of the students of York University are animal lovers. Everyone stopped for some love. It was amazing to see how people (students and teachers as well) are passionate about animals and their rights.
Niki and Tia were the absolute starts of the rainy Friday morning - these two beautiful babes are proving that you can only win if you rescue a dog. They were helping the group to spread the word about adopting/rescuing from shelters and to inform other people about the irreversible damage of abuse.
