Humane Education Program
Educating our youth is crucial if we are to make life
better for animals. Children can be
taught responsible pet care, respect for wildlife and the environment by
participating in the Kind
News humane education program from the National Association for
Humane and Environmental Education (NAHEE) a division of the Humane Society of
the U. S.
Each issue of Kind
News includes articles, stories, puzzles, celebrity interviews, and
project ideas that teach humane lessons and inspire kids in grades K-6 to take
action for animals.
Spay/ Neuter/Now is enlarging and growing their Humane Education component by
subscribing to this program and giving it to 3rd grade students in
St. Lawrence County..

Thirty one people from various Animal
Welfare organizations in the
North Country
gathered October 22nd at the Gran View Restaurant, Ogdensburg
to hear Todd Cramer from the ASPCA, headquartered in
New York City
, tell about Mission Orange. |
|
Mission Orange is an exciting and focused effort of the ASPCA, to
create a country of humane communities, one community at a time, where
animals receive the compassion and respect due to them as sentient beings
and where there can really be no more unnecessary euthanasia of adoptable
animals simply because of a lack of resources or awareness.

Mr.
Cramer, who represents the ASPCA in
New Jersey
,
New York
, and
Maryland
, is also a community Initiative Director of the Gulfport-Biloxi Mission
Orange targeted community. Cramer
walked the group through the process of possibly becoming a targeted
community and what some of the beginning steps are all about.
The group unanimously chose to go back to their individual boards
with these ideas and will meet again in June with Cramer.
