Welcome to Abroad With Ben travel and lifestyle videos!
What I have to talk about in this video really, really sucks. However, I want to do something to help the animals in shelters in Medellin and in other cities, and I'd love it if you could help out in any way you can. Please watch the video to the end to see how you can help.
This video is very different from my usual content, but it was something I felt that I strongly needed to talk about. After seeing so many cases of animal abuse appearing in my Instagram and Facebook feeds recently, I wanted to speak about it and start a discussion with you, my awesome viewers. I really want to hear your thoughts on what I discussed in the video, and whether you agree or not, you're welcome to participate in a constructive, respectful conversation in the comments section. What do you think we can do to help?
As I mentioned in the video, I'd be so grateful to any of you can donate to the following animal shelters that are located here in Medellin, or if you're in another country, please support your local shelters. Below are some animal shelters in Medellin you can support.
WARNING: Sadly, we live in a world where scammers are everywhere trying to take advantage of kind people. Please be very careful of online scams and ONLY donate to foundations and Paypal accounts that I have verified in this video description section. Beware of fake accounts on Instagram, Facebook etc. pretending to be charities or foundations that request money from you. Always verify the account before donating. I will only ever list fundraisers here on KZread, I will NEVER request donations on any other platform, so please beware of scammers and fake accounts.

Also, as I talked about in the video, if you'd like me to start my own GoFundMe fundraiser, please let me know in the comments. 100% of the funds raised will be used for buying food, medical products, cleaning products, bedding etc. for the animals in shelters here in Medellin. Please check the comments section for updates over the following weeks and months to see which fundraisers are currently running.
Also, check www.change.org regularly to find petitions that you can sign to help end animal cruelty.
