HELPING TEACHERS INSPIRE COMPASSION FOR ANIMALS, PEOPLE & THE ENVIRONMENT

Angelika

My name is Angelika, and although I am living in Canada, I grew up in Ukraine. I love all animals, and believe they are each special with their own meaning and role. In our culture, the stork is very symbolic. People think it brings success to a house near their nest, and the house will be blessed with children.

As a child, we adopted four cats and three dogs. Dogs were considered our best friends, cat were good as mice catchers, and we knew that in the past cattle helped with planting. Every animal has or had its role. Good education from parents and schools includes respect for animals and learning how to behave with them appropriately.
