"To educate our people, and especially our children, to humane
attitudes and actions toward living things is to preserve and strengthen our
national heritage and the moral values we champion in the world". ~ John
Fitzgerald Kennedy
Humane Education can be defined as "a process that encourages an
understanding of the need for compassion and respect for people,
animals and the environment and recognizes the interdependence of all
living things."
From the animal protection perspective, humane education is the
long-term preventative strategy that will bring about a lasting,
large-scale improvement in the quality of animals' lives. It can be an
effective - and relatively low cost - strategy for dealing with animal
abuse.
Through
our program we aim to cultivate in children a spirit of kindness to
animals. They are made aware of the numerous responsibilities, costs
and time commitment associated with caring for an animal. Ultimately,
our goal is to empower students to speak up for animals and not be
passive observers to their abuse. Instilling such a foundation in
children will make them just, kind and compassionate individuals in
every respect.
We alter our session content depending on the age level we are presenting to.

"The Kindergarten Euro section recently welcomed visitors from CARA (Compassion and Responsibility for Animals) who came to talk about the importance of caring for animals for life. The children were able to meet a rescued dog and a neutered cat; and through the stories of these animals learned about pet ownership and the effects of irresponsible behavior."
