Alternative Breaks: Animal Welfare Trip
There is an
alternative breaks spring break trip on animal welfare! The Animal
Welfare Trip goes to Southern and Central Oregon and works with
various Animal Sancutaries (including one for Chimpanzees!) At these
sanctuaries, we work with abused and neglected animals while also
learning about ways in which we, as humans, can better the lives of our
silent companions. In addition to the trip, our Spring Decal offers a
welcoming environment for discussion, as well as debate.
