    Our survey

    We sent out a survey asking the following questions:


    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.

    Where are you from?


    What is your age?
    What is factory farming?
    How many farmed animals do you think are killed each year (not including fish)?

    1.000.000-50.000.000
    50.000.001-100.000.000
    100.000.001-500.000.000
    1.000.000.000-40.000.000.000
    50.000.000.000+

    5. What are your feelings about animal testing?


    6. Is it necessary? Why?
    7. What do you think animals feel like when being held captive (ie. zoos)?
    8. Are you aware of the Yulin Dog Festival?
    9. (If yes) What is it?
    10. What do you think can be done to stop animal abuse?
    11. Are there any other types of animal abuse that you are aware of?
    Question number one, Where are you from?
    Since we are in an international school, we thought that it was important to see where the students
    who participated in our survey were coming from, because everyone has different knowledge and
    understanding on animal abuse because of cultural differences.
    Question number two, What is your age?
    We sent out the survey only to grade 9 and 10, so there were ages from 13 to 16. We thought it
    was important to know the persons age to see how much knowledge a person has of the issue of
    that age.
    Question number three, What is factory farming?
    There were many different answers regarding this issue. By asking this question we could see the
    knowledge and understanding of the students regarding factory farming. We got answers from I
    have no idea. Literally to a farm on which large numbers of livestock are raised indoors in
    conditions intended to maximize production at minimal cost. Here are our results:

    Question number four, How many farmed animals do you think are killed each year (not
    including fish)?
    This was a multiple choice question (the choices are mentioned above). Here are the results:
    1.000.000-50.000.000
    50.000.001-100.000.000
    100.000.001-500.000.000
    1.000.000.000-40.000.000.000
    50.000.000.000+

    This shows that most of the students who


    participated in our survey were aware and close
    to the actual number.
    The actual number is 56 billion

    Question number five, What are your feelings about animal testing? and question number
    six, Is it necessary? Why?
    Most of the students who participated in our survey said that they were against animal testing and
    that it is inhumane. However, a great number of students did include in their answers that it is
    necessary and keeps us safe. Students think it is necessary because it allows us as humans to know
    how animals react to for example, medicine before putting it in humans. Also, students talked
    about how it is better to test it on animals rather than humans.
    Question number seven, What do you think animals feel like when being held captive (ie.
    zoos)?
    We asked this question to see how the students feel about zoos and to see if they would talk about
    the fact that when people go to zoos they are supporting the animal captivity business, however,
    no one mentioned this. Most of the students said that they feel bad and lonely and a great number
    of students talked about how they wouldnt know because they havent experienced it.

    Question number eight, Are you aware of the Yulin dog festival and question number nine,
    (If yes) What is it?
    The students that knew what The Yulin Dog Festival
    is gave a pretty
    accurate definition of what it is.
    Here is an example: A festival in China where they
    torture (skin, cook, burn) the dogs alive to finally eat
    them.

    Question number ten, What do you think can be done to stop animal abuse?

    Most of the students talked about that raising awareness and forming organizations could really
    help with stopping animal abuse. Here are some examples:
    I think people should be put through a wide range of test in order to buy or adopt a pet, to test
    their mental health, physical health and criminal record
    Make an artificial species that cannot feel emotions but can be used for animal testing
    Gradually raising awareness.

    Question number eleven (last question), Are there any other types of animal abuse that you
    are aware of?

    The students mentioned:


    Puppy mills
    Fur farms
    Shark finning
    Animal fights
    Animal hunting
    Sea World
    The abuse of animals at home, for example, not feeding your pet

    After reading the responses we got from this survey, we could really see other peoples
    perspective on animal abuse. Many students gave wonderful ideas on what can be done to stop
    animal abuse. We thought that a survey would be better than an interview specifically for this

    topic, because, the responses we get are anonymous so in that way students are more honest rather
    in interviews where students say what the interviewers want to hear (for this topic specifically).
