WHAT CHILDREN CAN DO
They can speak pleasantly to boys or men who are whipping their horses and ask them to stop.
They can ask men and boys to blanket their horses in cold weather, to put them in the shade in warm weather, and to loosen the tight check rein.
They can keep fresh water where their own horses, dogs, cats, and hens can get it, not once, but at any time during the day or night.
They can feed their dog or cat morning and night, remembering that all animals and fowls have as good appetites and suffer as much when hungry and thirsty as boys and girls do.
They can see that all their animals are made comfortable at night and never turned out in the cold.
They can feed homeless dogs and cats and try to find shelter for them. They can be careful never to lose a pet animal, or to leave one behind if they move away, unless they have arranged for some one to take care of it.
Every kind act that children do, not only makes the world better, but helps to make them better and happier men and women.—Animal Rescue League of Boston.
