NEW
New Video Resource
Their Future in Your Hands
Suitable for KS3 - KS5 Duration: 11 minutes
Their Future in Your Hands is a great new video resource,
ideal for stimulating discussion about animal rights in subjects
such as citizenship, English, RE and sixth form general
studies. The film demonstrates that animals have rich
emotional lives – in many ways similar to our own. It explores
the various ways in which animals are used in society and
encourages students to question our current relationship with
the animal kingdom.
Rather than simply describing the suffering of animals in
laboratories and factory farms, this is a film of hope, showing
how we can all help to create a better world for humans, animals and the environment. This DVD is
available free to teachers and can be previewed on our website: www.animalaid.org.uk/education
“Where the purpose is to show the range of animal issues, ‘Their Future...’ is the obvious choice. This video
puts the philosophical arguments simply, clearly and vividly. All pupils should have a chance to see it.”
Science teacher, Ipswich, Suffolk
