Kindness for Kids

The future's bright if children know . Compassion is the way to go


     I'm often contacted by people seeking resources suitable 
      to share with their kids, as most of the
horrors of what
     we do to animals in the meat, egg, 
dairy and other animal 
      use industries are simply too distressing to show them.
     So below you'll find some resources to help kids hold onto 
       that fondness for all 
life they
naturally possess, plus
        some extra info for parents who want to help their 
            kids continue to kill it with kindness.



ONLINE

the horrors of the animal use industries.
