Activism

» Joy Butler - Ashley Fruno

I agree with the author that Ashley Fruno acted out of compassion for helpless animals. I don't believe for a moment that Ashley Fruno acted for personal gain. And I've found that even young children can understand that certain actions cause pain and suffering to animals, and most of them want to do something about it. Although I would not encourage extreme measures for children, I do encourage compassion in them by suggesting that they volunteer at shelters, donate to animal causes and to make wise, cruelty-free purchases.
