50 easy ways kids can help animals by Ingrid Newkirk, founder and director, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India, is out. It’s the easiest guide to show you how to do your bit for our animal friends. The basis of the book is a simple and an obvious one — animals can’t talk — they need you to speak up for them.
And its especially good for those of us who love animals and would like to see them better treated but don’t know how to go about it. The preface for young people by Mike Pandey is thought provoking. Our culture is one that has always entwined care for animals with human growth but in the mad rush for development today we have forgotten this simple tenet.
As you turn the pages over, it becomes clear that all you really need to do is to get out there, get together and get involved. And it’s not all just about crusading too. You can have fun and learn in the process too. So the idea of maintaining a journal about your pet is interesting. Some surprising facts like dogs appreciating steamed carrots and broccoli are
eye openers.
Don’t try and read the book at one go for at times it’s almost like a manual for animal care. Take time and enjoy the tips so that you can remember better.
