Art engages children against captivity

Mis à jour le 23 July 2018

We have allowed a facilitator from a school near Narbonne to raise the awareness of children aged 4 to 11 about animals in circuses, during the spring break. Captivity, training, homelessness, they have learned that no, "animals are not clowns".

Delighted, Delphine, the host, told us that one of the children, "who loved to go to the circus, and planned to go with her Mother to Marineland because she loves animals and is very interested in them! Will never again return to a circus or to a water park, she has made several drawings about animals in captivity and where she writes "do not applaud these poor animals".

This young child, like many others, has been touched by the information that One Voice has shared with them, and they have been full of ideas on how to teach the adults around them the reality of traveling circuses.

Among their ideas, one bold individual reported to the facilitator of the project: "The children had proposed to go to the cash desk of the circus and instead of buying a ticket, would announce in front of everyone that they were very sad for the animals and that they would never give them any more money. "

Discover below, the achievements of the children. They have touched us, very moving. And you?

C'est fabuleux et très beau car les enfants à la base ne sont ni cruels ni méchants. Ils aiment par-dessus tout les animaux et ne souhaitent pas qu'il leur soit fait du mal. Ce n'est que l'éducation qu'ils reçoivent, le milieu et la culture dans lesquels ils vivent qui vont, et peuvent, les transformer en personnes agressives, violentes, qui cautionnent l'exploitation et la maltraitance des animaux. En leur faisant croire que les animaux "sont des objets, des êtres sans âme, sans cerveau et sans sensibilité" et que les humains sont supérieurs à eux. Je trouve formidable et très important ce travail fait auprès des enfants car ce sont les enfants qui sont l'avenir de la planète et ce sont aussi eux qui peuvent inciter, informer et sensibiliser leurs parents, leurs familles et amis à la cause animale et donc à un changement et une évolution de mentalités et croyances en faveur des animaux.
UN GRAND MERCI ONE VOICE ET BRAVO POUR UNE TELLE INITIATIVE POUR LES ANIMAUX.
