Remember Hannah DeZara and her awesome student group, Students for the Protection of Animals? They took a stand against the cruelest show on Earth by protesting Ringling Bros. circus and passing out leaflets outside the show in Chicago!

Well, this group definitely knows how to stay loud for animals. Check out everything that its members have done for animals since then:

  • They organized a three-day vegan bake sale at school and used the opportunity to speak out against the cruelty of shark finning and fish farms.
  • They spread the word about the suffering of animals in movies by urging friends and family not to attend The Hobbit.
  • They created their very own public service announcement to promote World Animal Day!
  • Most recently, they brought some holiday cheer to homeless animals in their local animal shelter by organizing a fundraiser at school—how cute is that?!

Yep, told you they were awesome. This is why peta2 is excited to give Students for the Protection of Animals a Star Student Group Award—way to go, guys! :D

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
