Taking responsibility
- 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, young people are asked what society would expect them to do if they came across animals that were not theirs, but were obviously suffering.
- Young people will develop:
- the understanding that society expects us to care for and help not only our own animals, but also any that do not belong to us, or any wild animals that are in need
- knowledge about what to do in situations similar to those in the scenarios
- empathy with wild and farm animals.
