Private Elementary School of St. Joseph – 4th Grade

Despite the fact that the importance of neutering is not widely spread in Greece -compared to other countries- several students from the 4th grade, maybe because they are older and thus more mature, were well informed on this crucial issue. They elaborated on how vital it is, considering the fact that there are so many abandoned animals on the streets by our immoral citizens, to find the best possible solution: promote adoption of stray animals instead of contributing to further reproduction and breeding. More often than not, those young animals are likely to end-up being strays as well, running around in our inhospitable and dangerous streets.

The children paid great attention to the presentation.

Frosso explains to the children that a dog cannot understand the difference between a new pair of shoes and an old one; for this reason, one should never give a pet an old shoe (or any other human item) as a toy.
