     My animal rights group, A.R.F., put together a social media page so that people can also be informed through sources that are used every day. Our media person created an Instagram page for A.R.F. in which photos and statements can be posted for everyone to see. On our Instagram we have a picture of hurt animals along with our mission statement which shows what our group is working for. The way I contributed to this was by following it on my personal Instagram so that my friends that follow me, can also see our Fighting for Paws Instagram. I have also taken pictures to post on there to show us in action while we raise awareness for the better treatment of animals. Though making an Instagram was a good approach to inform more people, it could have been improved so that we would have more followers who could see our posts. To get a better outcome I could have posted our Fighting for Paws Instagram on my personal one so that more of my friends could also follow. We could have also created other social media accounts so that people who don't have Instagram are still able to be educated about what really goes on with animals. Another way we could have got better results was by telling our friends or family who we know have Instagram to follow us and inform others. Social media is so popular this generation and if we would have taken extra steps to inform people or just simply post pictures, I think many people would begin to agree with us when it comes to animal rights.
