Focus

  • The role of animals in our lives
 

How do animals help us?

  • This activity is just one part of a range of resources addressing the needs of young people who have been involved, or who are at risk of being involved, in cruelty to animals. Our online assessment tool Developing a suitable intervention programme (Word 17KB) will help you create individualised intervention programmes from these resources.
  • In this activity, the young person thinks about how animals help people today and how they have helped us in the past.
  • The young person will develop the understanding that:
  1. animals have been very useful and valuable to people for many years
  2. animals can provide assistance to people
  3. some animals have special qualities that make them particularly good at certain jobs
  4. without animals some people – including the young person him or herself and people they know – would be affected.
  • Before you do this activity, we recommend you do the Everyday objects activity in this section.
