Project Info
Decades ago the National Parent Teacher Association of the United States proclaimed the value of humane education. The PTA publicly declared that humane education teaches the principles of justice, goodwill, and humanity toward all life.
As experts have recognized the link between child abuse, animal abuse and violence against people, the value of humane education in schools is greater than ever. Our programs teach children, including at-risk youth, the traits needed to be caring, thoughtful, and respectful citizens: responsibility, caring for one another, trustworthiness, knowledge, respect, and a positive attitude.
Humane education programs also play an important role in the adult community. SPCA outreach programs provide community members with resources to:
*Assist in solving companion animal behavioral problems in order to prevent owner relinquishment
*Provide the proper level of care for all types of companion animals
*Understand the consequences of irresponsible behavior toward animals
*Live with respect for and compassion towards the earth and all creatures
