Groups of pupils spent the last few weeks of their S1 year at Currie working on projects they felt strongly about whilst in SDE classes. One group researched cases of animal cruelty in the local area and as part of their awareness raising efforts they have written a piece for the next Currie and Balerno News:
We
are a group of new S2 pupils from Currie Community High School writing to tell
you about the project we have been doing to show that animal cruelty is a huge
problem in our area not just in Scotland. We contacted the SSPCA in Balerno to
ask them some questions about the animals they rescue. They told us that; in
the last 4 months they have taken in almost 3,700 pets that have been
abandoned, neglected, no longer wanted by their owners or found injured. The
worst case of animal cruelty they have dealt is that someone tied their dog to
a tree and set the dog on fire, this disgusted us all. Just now they are
dealing with the most cases of animal cruelty they have seen. This is worrying
and we think its need to be recognised by the people in Currie and Balerno that
lots of animal cruelty is happening in their area.
Kind
