Adopt, Don’t Shop – Changing Lives One Pet at a Time | Ira Ng | TEDxIGBIS Youth
In this eye-opening TEDx Talk, Ira discusses the harsh realities behind the pet trade. From the hidden cruelty of puppy mills to the heartbreaking statistics of abandoned animals, this talk sheds light on why adopting from shelters is a life-changing decision—not just for the animals, but for us as a society. Hi! I’m Ira and I’m in grade 6. I was born here in Malaysia and I have lived here all my life. I like huge RVs that I can camp in and frogs. My hobbies are reading, playing football, and eating other people’s food. I play football and I get injured a lot but it’s okay because I’m strong. Definitely. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
