That's why I was so glad to have the opportunity to review a copy of How to Change the World in 30 Seconds: A Web Warrior's Guide to Animal Advocacy Online by C.A. Wulff. This book is a terrific guide that can help those wanting to help animals in need from their computer. It's geared towards dogs, but I think it can be valuable no matter what type of pet you're advocating. While I was already aware of some of the things the book talks about, I really did learn a lot from it and it gave me a lot of new ideas.
How to Change the World in 30 Seconds |
If you've ever shared a picture of a homeless pet, I'm sure you may have wondered if it even does any good? How can sharing a photo really change the world? Wulff explains this perfectly in How to Change the World in 30 Seconds. Helping find homes for pets definitely helps the pet, and maybe even the family that adopts them. But how does it help to actually change the world? Is this even possible?
The answer is yes! After reading the book, I now truly realize just how much of an impact helping pets find homes can have. Of course, there are many other ways to help animals besides finding them homes. How to Change the World in 30 Seconds describes many different ways that people can stand up for animal rights.
The book is categorized into chapters that contain very helpful advice on social media, petitions, letters to legislators, using online tools for fundraising, reporting animal abuse and so much more. There are even sample letters and flyers in the back of the book that you can use.
If you're looking for ideas on how to help pets in need, this book can definitely help you get started. And even if you've already started helping animals online, there is still so much to learn.
