SINGAPORE — The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is enhancing its youth education programme to raise awareness of animal abuse among young people, in the light of a recent spate of animal cruelty cases.
To expand the programme, SPCA will organise a youth animal welfare symposium in October to allow those above the age of 16 to engage in meaningful discussions surrounding animal welfare advocacy issues. The Straits Times also earlier reported that SPCA has seen a "disproportionately high number" of cat abuse cases in 2023.
To that end, SPCA's Pawsome Pawty also included a skit depicting irresponsible pet ownership and workshops on how to care for animals and be responsible cat owners. "Animal cruelty at a young age can be an indication of other deep-seated issues. Failing to address and rectify these behaviours can have far-reaching consequences, sometimes even perpetuating a cycle of violence and cruelty," said Ms Sankar.
The 41-year-old housewife, who plans to get a dog when her nine-year-old daughter is older, added that the simulation was not too graphic for her child, and that they also learnt other things at the event, such as the type of food that pets can eat.
