One of the most alarming statistics, with regard to the effort to stop animal cruelty, is the fact that over twenty percent of abuses against animals is committed by teenagers. This is a staggering number and very disturbing. According to many mental health experts, a direct link exists between sociopathic behaviour and that of animal abuse. In order to stop this trend, adults should get their teenagers involved in the fight for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

One of the best resources for both adults and teens, in the fight to stop animal cruelty, is the Humane Society of the United States. A teenager can gain great insight by reading how they can help stop animal abuses by getting involved in the community. For example, a teen can get literature on how to educate smaller children of the importance of caring about and respecting animals and their rights.

Another great thing that teenagers can do to help in the prevention of cruelty to animals is to start a club at their school to help fight animal abuse. By just approaching the school administration about forming this type of club, they could start a very positive trend in their district. By working together in a club for such a worthwhile cause, these young group members would be helping not only the animals but also to increase community awareness of the problem. By organizing and executing fundraisers, the teens could give the money raised to the local animal shelters, which usually have to rely on meager donations.
