We conduct humane education workshops here in South Africa in communities that are down-trodden by crime, poverty and disregard for life – any life – all life.
The upliftment of spirit that comes with the slow discovery by our workshop delegates of what it is to care for those who are at our mercy – the animals – is reward beyond measure. We at Humane Education are becoming acutely aware that there is only One Struggle in the world today – namely, the evolution of morality. But morality cannot be achieved at all if animals are excluded from our realm of concern. I believe that True Humanity begins with a valuing of others – inclusive of religion, colour, tribe, orientation, gender and species.
