For many, especially
Nigerians, the word animal safety does not ring a bell but sends cold shiver to
anyone who senses that animal cruelty is wrong. Animals should be preserved
especially domestic animals although most of them can be easily replaced it
is imperative that children have relevant information about animal kingdom and how to
care for them.
The humane global
concept, is a not for profit organization established for the sole aim of
enlightening the African children
between the ages 5 and 19 years on what animal security entails has taken its campaign to over 200 primary and secondary schools to
educate young people about the animal kingdom in Nigeria
Many children are currently aware that animals suffer a great
deal in the factories, farms, laboratories as they are processed for
nourishment, experiments, cleaning products and cosmetics since a significant
percentage of humans depend on animals; researchers have discovered that these
animals are kept under deplorable conditions, often dragging themselves through
their own excreta, left to suffer horrible untreated wounds, hunger, ear
infections among others.
In collaboration with other International bodies, the Humane
global concept has initiated campaigns through documentaries and publications
from evidence based research that recommends several practices to put an
end to animal brutality in Nigeria
As world animal ambassador for Nigeria who has also been featured
in the Animal Times Magazine in United Kingdom I urge Nigerian to care for animals and the government at all levels should partner with
the non-governmental organisation to fund this project.
