CARE QF PETS
('Contriibuteclj
"Every child should have. a
'pet". This is, a pleasant theory
often quoted sentimentally. But'
e'very pet needs care, and Par-
ents 'must not neglect this es-
sential 'part of child training.
Loving parents and uncles and
aunts' present kittens, and pup-
pies and rabbits .as presents to.
children too young to undertake
their card. Toddlers without in-
tending cruelty, often tease an
animal till it ,becomes mean to
protect itself.
The General Manager :of_:Ter-
onto.. Humane Society says% that
'Children under ' eight'years of
age are too young to assume re=
sponsiibility 'for a pet's care and
this is where the parents must
step in.. Often children
care for a pet until the novelty
•
of having it wears off. There are
adults too who "love" pets when
they are small and route but
don't want them around when
grown. Children over eight who
'are. given a pet, should be inade
to understand that . it is. not a
toy. They should, be given in
struction on its proper feeding,
and: care. This, teaches them
kindness , and consideration not
only for animals but for human
,beings; We' often hear of pets,
,played with .at the stunrner cot-
tages ,and left to fend for• them -
is much to, learn about the waifs,
the strays, the hurt, the hungry.
The . care of . 'a pet adds to the
duties of the ,' day,' but it . is a
great training in responsibility
and ;loyalty and, adds to a larger
pity for- all maltreated cleat --
tures, animal or human.
