PETA’s new mission
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an organisation committed to helping end animal suffering and providing children with tools to make compassionate choices, is now sending emergency humane education materials to schools across the country. The mailing of this free-of-cost educational material comes close on the heels of a shocking case of school shooting in which a 14-year-old boy was killed by two of his classmates in neighbouring Gurgaon. PETA’s e
ducational material points out that research in criminology and psychology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty towards animals rarely stop there and many go on to harm humans. Stating that the signs of a potentially violent child include aggression towards peers, cruelty to animals, social isolation and an interest in fire and arson, PETA India Manager (Humane Education) N. G. Jayasimha, says: “Animal abuse should never be overlooked in children.
Putting a stop to violent tendencies as soon as they become apparent should be a priority and it is everyone’s responsibility. ”
