My goal is to give back to the community because animals have always been there to emotionally support me so i want to pay back the favor and help take care of them

Finally was able to start volunteering once i got there i was required to scoop all the litter boxes once i scooped about 3-6 boxes per room and about 7 rooms, i then had to fill a water pitcher to top of all of the cats waters in the room but 90% of the time the water was so dirty and filled with food and cat hair i had to just replace the entire bowl with fresh water. Then i topped off all of the dry cat food kibble so the cats had enough to eat once we left even though we had to also feed them wet food. Once that was done i swept up the rooms filled with cat litter and other junk all over the floor. And the best part was walking around after all of that and playing with all the kitties giving them all love and pets and time where i just chilled on the bench waiting for cats to come and lay on me, its rlly the cutest thing they also got this kitten room where there are the cutest kittens and they are usually scared of you but you can still grab them and play with them its so great.

The benefit of helping animals is them having a happy healthy life being able to be adopted and not being put straight into a pound and get put down very soon if not adopted. The buddy foundation is not like this at all they solely care about the well being of animals such as me

My sustainable goal is helping animals get adopted and are cared for in shelters.

The 2 international organizations I have are the World Health Organization. “Guidelines for Animal Welfare.” Geneva, WHO, 2019.

The second one is Humane Society International. “Global Strategies for Shelter Animal Welfare.” HSI, 2020.

2 national sources i used about this goal are American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. “National Guidelines for Shelter Animal Care.” ASPCA, 2021.

My second national source is U.S. Department of Agriculture. “Animal Welfare Act and Regulations.” USDA, 2018.

Local sources i have are Illinois Department of Food and Agriculture. “Guidelines for Shelter Animal Management in Illinois.” CDFA, 2022.

The buddy foundation has the “Best Practices for Shelter Animals in Arlington heights”

These are my 6 different sources about my sustainable goal project/CEP. The international guideline for animal welfare is helping improve standards of life for animals in some countries that may not treat animals correctly. A way nationally the US is preventing animal cruelty is anti cruelty law makes it illegal to be cruel to animals. A way locally they are helping animals is adding laws such as Animal Cruelty (510 ILCS 70/): Illinois law prohibits a range of cruel actions towards animals, including neglect, abandonment, torture, and killing without justification. Penalties vary based on the severity of the offense. Aggravated Cruelty (510 ILCS 70/3.02): Aggravated cruelty, which involves torture or the killing of animals with a companion animal status (pets), is considered a more serious offense. Animal Fighting (720 ILCS 5/26-5): Illinois law prohibits organizing, promoting, or participating in animal fighting, including dog fighting and cockfighting. Abandonment (510 ILCS 70/3.03): Abandoning an animal is considered cruelty under Illinois law. Animal Welfare Act (510 ILCS 72/): This Act focuses on the humane treatment of animals in facilities like pet shops, kennels, and catteries. These are ways the world is helping animals
