"The
greatest of a nation
and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are
treated." - Mahatma Gandhi.
Promoting
kindness towards animals has been an ongoing effort taken by SPCA
Penang. It is through education whereby we teach the public
about
prevention of cruelty, pet ownership and responsibility. We have
posters, banners, pamphlets with the appropriate message distributed to
the public.
It is imperative that our next generation
are being
taught about prevention cruelty to animals. We hold educational talk in
school to educate and teach children. We also hold various educational
activities for children too.
EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIP
We do accomodate school
children to visit our compound. Such educational
field trip provides an excellent experience for the children to learn
about animals. We provide briefing to the children, they are then being
guided to take a short tour in our compound. The kids will have an
opportunity to interact with the animals.
There
are some school children who make arrangement through various
organizations to participate as volunteer during a day trip to our
shelter too. If you are keen to get your school or organization to be
part of this program, give us a call to make the arrangement.
CHILDREN EDUCATION CAMP
SPCA Penang has been
organizing a children education camp on a yearly basis. During the day
camp, the children learn how to respect, to care and to love pets. The
programs include talk about pet health and care, dog shows, animal
trainer showing how to train pets, games and interactive
activities. Some of our own friendly four legged friends were there to
provide hands-on experience to these children too. The children always
had a fun time and we hope that the children will take back
with them the knowledge, value and the responsibility of how to be an
"animal carer" through this camp. It creates awareness and
instill in the young generation the responsibilities of being a pet
owner. Look out for our yearly camp which is planned around the middle
of the year. We will need sponsorship and lots of volunteers in this
event. Do extend your help if you can.
OTHER
CHILDREN ACTIVITIES
SPCA
Penang also hold other children educational activities such as children
drawing competition and visit to Taiping Zoo. Such activities had been
well received with good participation.
