Ten Ways That Kids Can Help Animals Updated: 1/10/2007 If you're like most parents, you're striving to raise kind, considerate kids who value and respect all living beings, both human and non-human. To help you in this endeavor, Ingrid E. Newkirk, the president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has written an upbeat new book, 50 Awesome Ways Kids Can Help Animals. It's packed with fascinating animal facts, fun illustrations, jokes, puzzles, and tips that teach children to think about— and empathize with— animals. Writes Ingrid, "Animals have feelings, just as you and I do. Just like us, they feel the heat and cold, the sun and rain. Just like us, they enjoy a comfortable place to live, good food, and loving attention. They miss you when you are away, and they remember things that have happened to them. We think of some animals as our friends. Others we may think of as dangerous, and others we hardly think of at all. But all animals, from the family dog to the tiniest mouse are like us - living, feeling beings. We can learn more about how animals experience life by trying to better understand their needs and their feelings." The book not only teaches children to respect and protect animals, it helps them to appreciate one another. According to the National PTA Congress, "Children... trained to extend justice, kindness, and mercy to animals become more just, kind, and considerate in their relations with each other. Character training along these lines will result in men and women of broader sympathies, more humane, law-abiding, in every respect more valuable citizens." http://www.happynews.com/news/192007/ten-w...elp-animals.htm |
