Taking Animal Right to the Next Level - Going Hi-Tech
Learn how individuals and organizations can work more effectively to speak up for animals using the media and other social networks. Learn how to: (1) band together to take a united stance on issues that affect animals; (2) use the media to respond to breaking news that involves animals, like a mad cow disease outbreak; (3) use technology to speak up for the animals, create newscasts; (4) develop rapid response strategies to respond to breaking news stories the same day; (5) be a powerful voice on your own to affect change as one individual did when contacting Amazon to stop carrying shark and dolphin meat; and (5) partner with other entities to make a real difference for animals like HLN's Jane Velez-Mitchell did in conjunction with the Puerto Rican Bar association, PETA, and a Puerto Rican lawmaker to stop the opening of a lab monkey breeding facility that would have housed and bred thousands of monkeys.
