ACTIVITIES: Poly’s newest club, Society of Animal Appreciators, adds to student interest in animal well-being.
By Matt Kaye, Staff Writer
Animals have long been the topic of a variety of discussions at Poly, from the history of the school mascot to student consciousness about the protection of animals in the community. In the past, the Poly Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) took the lead in spreading awareness in support of the animals. The club disbanded in 2011 and after three years of absence, the Society of Animal Appreciators (SAA) replaced PAWS and revitalized a growing trend to expand the recognition of animal rights.
To hit the ground running, SAA has many ideas proposed and events planned to support its cause. Club members are ready to jump into action, with plans for volunteering and field trips in the works to get the students at Poly connected to animal issues. Specifically, SAA intends to volunteer at the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center in Riverside, which houses homeless dogs and cats in search of new homes. SAA also plans to set up a foster program for cats. The foster program will allow students to take care of

The club plans to raise funds for non-profit organizations that deal with animal welfare and for field trips such as visits to zoos and aquariums to increase student involvement and boost a healthy attitude towards animals.
The club’s creation arose from two students and their passion for animal security. The co-founders, Breanna Elisarrarez (10) and Malik Alexander (10), have turned no blind eye to animal issues. “We had a study session and it turned into talking about animals,” Alexander, the vice president of SAA, said. “We decided that there were a lot of animals that are in danger or need help, and we just love animals so we just want to help them.” Elisarrarez, the president of SAA, continued. SAA addresses similar issues that the awareness club V Minority: Protectors of the Vulnerable addresses. The V Minority focuses on animal protection from a vegetarian or vegan viewpoint. However, SAA’s main purpose is to ensure that animals live the protected lives they are entitled to. “This club is not based on your type of eating habits…that’s irrelevant because I am in fact an omnivore,” Alexander clarified. The ultimate purpose is “to help animals and to better the minds of everyone around us and spread our message,” Alexander said.
SAA plans to bring back animal appreciation to what it once was at Poly. With motivated students behind its cause and a partnership with the driven students of the V Minority, SAA boosts support for animal rights and brings pride to Poly.
