Humane Education Targets the Root of the Problem
Sanctuaries and shelters while extremely valuable and sorely needed are a temporary band-aid for the tragic ways humans can treat other animals. At a time when we need answers more than ever, humane education is a far-reaching, powerful solution.

Humane education is the only tool that combats this by fostering empathy and understanding of other animals. A free of charge, series of humane education presentations that foster compassion for all species is now available. All Programs-Aligned to State Sunshine Standards.
