You've got a desire to reduce animal cruelty in the world - how great are you!?!
The simplest way is to stop eating animals and their secretions!.
Other ways you can make an impact:

* Make charitable donations to WWF or your local animal shelter!.
Best of luck, and hats-off to you!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You could eat less meat!. If everyone just cut their meat consumption in half, billions of animals would be spared from suffering!.
About 99 out of 100 animals killed in the U!.S!. are "food" animals, so reducing your meat consumption is the best thing you can do to help animals!. Other ways to help:
-Buy products from companies that don't test on animals, and boycott cruel companies!.
-Write to clothing stores and ask that they stop selling fur
-Buy humane alternatives to fur, leather, wool, and down feathers!.
-Spay and neuter your pets, and promote spaying & neutering in your community!.
-Boycott animal circuses, rodeos, and other forms of entertainment that involve animal suffering!.
-Volunteer at your local animal shelterWww@FoodAQ@Com

well, you could join a local animal rights group!.
one thing that i like to encourage people to do is write letters to your local government leaders about increasing penalties for people charged with animal cruelty!. it doesn't take long and it only costs what you'd pay for a stamp!.
you could volunteer for a shelter group or do a funds/supplies drive for one of these groups!.
i'm a member of a group that protests local pet shops who buy their dogs from puppy mills, so you don't have to think that being veg is the only way to help animals!. there are plenty of ways to get involved, just look around and see what groups are in your area or what organizations could use a hand!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just try and raise awareness with those around you!.
If you bring dishes to family holidays, make a vegetarian or vegan version and educate folks about what they're eating (if they ask)!.
Have an environmentally-friendly themed potluck or cookout!. Eat with recycled goods, recycle the bottle and cans and ask people to bring cruelty-free foods just for something different!.
Cut your meat intake down to just a few times per week!.
I like others' suggestions about donating to causes that assist animals!. Even though you don't ascribe to the lifestyle, buying Tshirts that say "powered by tofu" or canvas bags with other clever veggie sayings is a good thing - a lot of times, part of the money is donated to a worthy cause!.
Good question!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You could always go vegan, thats the most important first step!.
After that you can speak out, protest, volunteer at a shelter, anything to really help the cause!.

You don't have to be vegan to be a conscious consumer!. Be aware of the products you purchase and where they come from!. Try to buy free range and fare trade products where ever possible!. Avoid non essential "luxury items" like silks and leather, since there are plenty of quality synthetic materials!.
