How to Be an Animal Lover

As you know, animal lovers are pretty awesome and well-liked, and helping out with animals is a great way to meet nice people. These are some of the many ways of how to be an animal lover. This could also be considered a teenage sub-culture.

Steps

1. Join your local animal shelter, animal clinic, or become a dog walker. Consider starting an animal-themed club at your school. This isn't a must, but it could help you meet others like you.
2. Become a vegetarian. If you love animals, why would you eat them? Plus, it's actually healthier to be a vegetarian!
3. Be nice to people. Animal lovers generally have a nice personality and are friendly towards humans and animals alike.
4. Get a pet, optionally. A good example would be a nice cat, or if you're allergic to animal fur, a bird, gecko or a rabbit! Make sure to take care of your pets.
5. Dress the part and try to avoid clothes that contain animal products such as leather, fur, or snake-skin. Most animal lovers buy t-shirts that may be cute, but they need to have a couple shirts with a picture of an animal on it.
6. Avoid animal tested beauty products and wear natural makeup or none at all.
