What the petition asks
Incidences of animal cruelty & neglect are increasing.
We must educate children better and equip them with the fact that the animals who share our planet need us to survive and live happy & safe lives.
If this was part of school curriculum every child would benefit from this valuable lesson.

Some adults seem to get pleasure out of harming & even killing animals, children see this & think it is acceptable.
I believe that if we educate children from an early age how to treat animals & how important it is to care for their environment, in years to come we will hopefully see a decline in animal cruelty & neglect.
A lot of children grow up without experiencing the love of an animal. Some don't understand that animals feel pain & think it's ok to hurt them.
We MUST change this !!
