“Cycle of Violence” concerning animal abuse/cruelty and the transition to human
violence. Students will be provided with scenarios of abusive behaviour which
they will evaluate as a group and individually – this will help the youth
discover and gain insight on the abuse/cruelty within the world and also
observe that there are many views on abuse (individually and group)
As in the Grade 6 Program – this program will
also look at the laws for animal abuse/cruelty and animal welfare – and discuss
what laws would apply to such scenarios or if there should be laws for such
cruelty and abuse etc. Each student will be provided with the necessary
resources and then later present a presentation upon the scenario in which they
were issued.

their fellow classmates, and after a discussion of what was learned, what can
be changed, and how we can make the difference.
GRADE 9:
The Grade Nine
Program will discuss Conservation, Trophy Hunting, Poaching and the illegal
trade of animals and their parts. This educational experience will help students
to create ideas and give their views and opinions on how we as humanity can
save life that is endangered or not, and how we can unite to bring solution to
the issues that are destroying these innocent species.
Including in this program will be videos,
educational resources necessary and even give the students the opportunity to
help by creating an event to help raise awareness on such issues. This experience will allow the students to
become involved and do their parts to help bring light to the issues, there
will also be a presentation to further that knowledge and discussions
afterwards.
Although we are currently developing the programs for
Kindergarten to Grade 9, we are also working on including from 10-12 as
well. We would like to inform that each
program that children and youth are involved with will receive a certificate
after accomplishment. These programs
will include Vegetarian/Vegan snack and meals along with information on
choosing a lifestyle such as this and the benefits of such a choice.
In the development
of these programs, there may be additional educational materials, topics,
and/or methods/strategies brought in.
