Humane Education is most well-known for its focus on our relationship to companion animals. But as a field, it actually encompasses our relationship to other people, all animal species, and our natural environment.
As more and more people say they no longer want to see wild animals held captive in zoos, aquariums, circuses and marine entertainment parks, authentic wild animal sanctuaries are becoming essential parts of the animal protection landscape.
Sanctuaries are the instantiation of this change in our relationship to wildlife. They teach a new model of respect for our fellow animals.
In this webinar, Dr. Lori Marino talks with guests about the new focus on wildlife in their humane education programs and how sanctuaries – including the coming Whale Sanctuary in Nova Scotia – are playing an essential role in driving education and cultural change.
Guests:
Meena Alagappan, Executive Director of H.E.A.R.T. (Humane Education Advocates Reaching Teachers)
Kimberly Korona, Senior Program Director, H.E.A.R.T.
Catherine Doyle, Director of Science, Research, and Advocacy, PAWS (Performing Animal Welfare Society)
