What is Compassionate Citizen Program?

Compassionate Citizen is an award-winning humane education programme which is designed to help students aged 8 to 12 better understand and appreciate animals.

Most children naturally feel concern and affection for animals but learn cruelty from society and often lose sight of their inherent compassion. Of course, a lack of respect for other species can translate into insensitivity and cruelty towards humans, too. It is now well documented by sociologists, psychologists, and law-enforcement agencies that childhood violence against animals is often an early warning sign of future acts of violence towards humans. Children often face issues such as violence and bullying, so it is important to teach students the value of compassion and empathy when interacting with each other and with animals.
