IMITATION IS THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY
Nanc found out about this program run by Rescue Ink in the U.S.. It looks a lot like our Family Violence Education Initiative, with one big difference. Maybe we should get tatooed all over!?
This is not the first time that we have noticed that animals get more protection than women, children, and the elderly in our society.
The School Visitation Initiative
sign up now
In conjunction with law enforcement and animal control officials, Rescue Ink members visit elementary and middle schools, presenting a program designed to instill an appreciation of the value of animals, and to teach children how to spot and properly report instances of animal abuse and neglect. The curriculum fosters respect and consideration for animals via one-on-one interaction with positive role models, and contact with rescued animals.
The Rescue Ink members who participate in the School Visitation Initiative Program say that the experience gives them a feeling of nostalgia, and reminds them of their days attending school. We even have a member who likes to drop by the Principal's office in every school he visits. After all, he told us, it's where he spent most of his time.
