SAAV Teen

Let’s Stop Violence In Its Tracks!

SAAV Teen is an awareness campaign to foster compassion for animals in teenagers and give them the tools to create a more inclusive and kind world. Research confirms that animal abuse is a hallmark indicator of violence towards humans, including domestic abuse, child abuse, and other family violence. Early detection and intervention of animal cruelty crimes may help prevent harms to people, too.

SAAV Teen helps teens learn about compassion for animals, teaches them about the link between animal cruelty and violence to humans, and encourages them to speak up to a trusted adult if they see or hear of animal cruelty. Our materials are downloadable for free below. We also provide resources to schools free of charge, including: brochures, posters, and other materials.
