​Summary:​ ​People don’t abuse animals for no reason. It is frequently for reasons such as
psychological dysfunctions, they may have been abused, loss of power, scared of animals, or

The email sent to 5th and 6th grade teachers:

​
Two freshmen STEM students and I are developing a solution to a world problem, and
would like your help. The world problem that we decided to research is animal abuse,
and since numerous studies have shown that these habits develop at a young age, we
would appreciate if you could share our website we created. In it contains facts about
animal abuse, why people abuse animals and so on. If you could share this link with your
students and any other 6th/5th grade teachers that may be interested, it would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you, and happy new year!
