"2000: Year of the Humane Child"
|
This comprehensive public outreach program was launched at a
press conference in Los Angeles on December 2nd. A major goal is
to educate parents and educators about the importance of teaching
children to respect and protect animals as well as how to spot
signs of animal abuse. It emphasizes the link between compassion
for animals and compassion for humans and the proven link between
childhood animal abuse and adult human violence. It asks "What
are we Teaching Our Children?" The Action Alerts below urge you
to get involved in what the Boy Scouts of America are teaching
and the kinds of lessons young people are learning in the
classroom. For more information contact the Doris Day Animal
League at 202-546-1761.
