Taking a Stand

Norm Hewitt and the SPCA are taking a stand against animal abuse.

Research shows strong links between animal cruelty and interpersonal violence. Teaching children empathy through compassion for animals can encourage the same behaviour towards humans.

One of the Family is our in-school empathy education programme. Led by Norm Hewitt, it will teach children positive behavoiurs.

We recieve no Government funding to run this important programme, so we need your support. To learn more about this campaign or to donate visit the One of the Family website at www.oneofthefamily.co.nz.

Help End Animal Cruelty

"Shoppers have a key role to play in ending cruel farming practices. When consumers
open the fridge they should be aware of how their pork, bacon or eggs got there," says the
Royal New Zealand SPCA's National Chief Executive, Robyn Kippenberger.
