Make Animal Rights Required Learning on the School Curriculum

Closed 81 signatures

What the petition asks

Every year, 77 billion land animals, and trillions of marine animals, are killed for their flesh. Animals in the egg and dairy industries also suffer horrifically and are brutally killed. Millions of animals are experimented on, killed for their fur and skins, abandoned or killed in shelters.
How is it that, in 2022, we teach school students something as pointless as algebra, but yet we don’t teach them about the horrors of animal cruelty, and we don’t give them the right amount of information they need to open their eyes and make their own minds up about animal rights, rather than being lied to and the truth being hidden from them?
No more nonsense! In order to make lasting, positive change for the animals, we need to educate the young people about their plights!
