I recently had the opportunity to talk to small groups of children ages 6-8, who attended the Halifax Humane Society (HHS) Summer Camp. I found their level of love and kindness for the animals fascinating, to the point, whereas a few of the campers would tear up when we had to take the dog or cat away to allow the camp to move on to the next presenter.
