Children who learn how to approach, handle, feed, and respect animals may become safer and more responsible pet owners later in life.
Lessons on dog body language, bite prevention, animal cruelty, adoption, veterinary care, and responsible ownership could also protect both children and pets.
Some parents support adding animal welfare to the curriculum, while others believe schools already have too many subjects and limited teaching time.
Should animal care and empathy become a required part of school education, or should families and community groups teach it instead?
