IDA and AFK Bring Humane Education to Korean Children

Because many Korean children don’t grow up with animals and aren’t familiar with them as the living, sentient individuals they are, Animal Freedom Korea (AFK) has established a humane education program to change the perception of animals by Korean children. IDA recently sponsored a video project in conjunction with AFK to help end consumer demand for dog and cat meat in Korea. In the cartoon, children learn about the importance of treating animals with kindness and compassion. Humane education challenges violence at its core. Through teaching children respect and kindness to animals and one another, the world will be a better place for us all.
