What is Humane Education? Humane education teaches people how to accept and fulfill their responsibility to companion animals (cats and dogs) and all forms of animal life. It explains the consequences of irresponsible behavior and encourages people to see the value of all living things. As today’s society has come to recognize the connecting link between child abuse, animal abuse and violence against people, the need to promote kindness and empathy through effective humane education in our communities is greater than ever.
