Teach children humanity

Hi,

"Above all, those to whom the care of young minds has been entrusted, see to it that they respect both the smallest and the largest animal as beings which, like man, have been summoned to the joy of life and have been granted sensitivity. And do not forget that the boy who, in crude joy, finds delight in the convulsions of an injured beetle or the anxiety of a suffering animal will soon also be dumb towards human pain."

(Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, Horeb 416)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
