After researching the many organizations that contribute to animal abuse, we made a short video with some interesting facts about animal abuse and how you can help. We also found that the students of Glenbrook North love their animals and would never want anything to happen to them. Many people aren't informed about how they can help helpless animals. We made a video to educate them about preventing animal abuse.
Additional Laws in Illinois:

Animal Torture: A person commits animal torture when that person without legal justification knowingly or intentionally tortures an animal. (does not include any death, harm or injury caused to any animal. (Class 3 Felony)
There are also many websites and organizations that you can donate towards helping animals in need, such as PETA and ASPCA.
