	What Is Humane Education? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In its most general sense, humane education refers to all those activities designed to encourage people to "be kind." Its goal is to help people develop empathy and compassion for other people and animals, respect for the environment, and the ability to make decisions based on the welfare of others as well as themselves.
		Humane education lessons offer a setting in which children discuss how animals in their families are treated, and sometimes the treatment is abusive.
		Humane education includes domestic animals as part of the human environment which is part of the natural environment.

	Hawaiian Humane Society - About Us
		Humane education should continue into adulthood with programs focusing on the duties and responsibilities of ownership and the care of animals.
		The Hawaiian Humane Society opposes animal procurement practices that exploit the novelty appeal of various animals at the expense of their well-being and that encourage impulse purchases without ensuring that the buyer is well equipped and knowledgeable about providing proper and humane care.
		For animals in a zoo or aquarium environment, the Society seeks the kind of care and confinement that does not inflict stress or suffering, and supports the placement of animals in natural settings consistent with their need for safety, sanitation, and their physical and behavioral needs.

	Environment \| International Humanist and Ethical Union
		Humanists accept the full responsibility for their own life style and the influence they have on their environment, including fellow humans and other forms of life, now and for the future.
		The IHEU is opposed to the continued testing of Atomic and Nuclear weapons in the atmosphere and condemns the recent French detonation of bombs in the Pacific in the face of opposition of world opinion and of those countries directly affected by the explosions.
		The Board of the International Humanist and Ethical Union welcomes the guideline being prepared for the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, especially as these emphasise the moral and ethical implications of the new concepts of environment and resources which need to be accepted.

	Environment and human rights
		The human rights included in the Convention must be constantly developed to reflect the growth of consensus between the member states and keep pace with change.
		Human rights protection conveyed the message that the basis of international law was not the state, but the individual human being, for whom the state assumed protective functions at most.
		The “natural environment”, or, putting it another way, “environmental assets” cannot be assigned to an individual or group, but belong to all humankind, which depends on the environment as the basis of human life.

		Humane education must emphasize that there is a connection among all living creatures, and that an action towards one does affect others.
		I have also realized that humane education is a subject that covers a wide range of issues and we need to educate ourselves before we can educate others.
		Having been a full-time humane educator for only seven months, I certainly don’t claim to have found all the answers and I realize that for all of us to reach this higher level of humane education will take years of work and dedication.
