I was shocked to read that incidents of animal cruelty are increasing. I realise that educating children on animal welfare should start at home, but it's surprising that a number of children aren't being taught the basics, i.e. that animals have thoughts and feelings and can suffer and feel pain, just like us.
There is a petition about adding animal welfare to the national curriculum. I think it could really help children to be aware of how to treat animals humanely.
You can sign the petition here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/170481
