How can I explain to my child that to kill a person is wrong
Explaining to children that killing is morally wrong, despite what they may see on television, requires open communication and thoughtful guidance from parents.
Here are some approaches to address this important topic:
Frame violence in context
Explain that what children see on TV shows and movies is fictional and does not reflect real-life values or consequences. Help them understand that TV shows and movies often exaggerate or glorify violence for entertainment, but this is not how people should behave in reality.
Emphasize the value of life
Teach children that all lives are precious and deserve respect. Explain that in the real world, taking a life has severe legal, emotional, and moral repercussions that are often not shown on TV..
Discuss alternatives to violence
Help children understand that there are always better solutions to conflicts than violence. Encourage problem-solving skills, empathy, and peaceful conflict resolution.
Lead by example
Model non-violent behavior in your own life and interactions. Children learn a great deal from observing how adults handle conflicts and emotions.
Encourage critical thinking
Teach children to question what they see on TV. Ask them how they feel about violent scenes and discuss why such actions are wrong in real life.
Limit exposure to violent content
Be mindful of the media your children consume. Choose age-appropriate programs and games that promote positive values.
Discuss real-world consequences
Explain that in reality, violence causes pain, suffering, and lasting damage to individuals, families, and communities. These consequences are often not fully depicted on TV..
Reinforce moral values
Consistently communicate your family's values regarding the sanctity of life and the importance of treating others with kindness and respect.
By having ongoing conversations about these topics and providing guidance, parents can help children develop a strong moral compass that distinguishes between fictional portrayals and real-life ethical behavior.

Americas Animal Shelter Collapse: From Shelters Pet Prisons.
06/28/2024
Los Angeles Animal Shelter continues to neglect, abuse, and kill animals — including a healthy dog whose adopter was promised she would be safe. The dog that was set to be adopted was mistakenly euthanized [killed] by a South Los Angeles animal shelter due to a communication error.
The woman who was slated to adopt the pooch is demanding answers following the euthanization [killing], which happened just about an hour before she was expected to pick up what would have been her new pet.
Jianna Maarten Sadda … called the shelter to arrange the pickup time for 3 p.m. The staff assured Maarten Sadda that Sheba would be safe but at 2 p.m., when Maarten Sadda called to check in, Sheba was dead.
It was not a mistake. Los Angeles Animal Service staff like many County Animal Kill Shelters are neglectful, abusive, and indifferent to animal life. The fact that they would kill any healthy dog proves it. In addition, dogs spend weeks or months inside their kennels without a walk. They do not have beds, some have green [algae-covered] water, while others are confined in cubbies for extended periods without access to water.
According to witnesses,
The conditions were distressing, with soaked floors, cages and beds covered in f***s, and an overwhelming odor that prompted people to cover their nose and mouth.
And when an employee admitted to striking dogs, the volunteer who exposed him was punished, not the abuser. A Los Angeles Times investigation also uncovered rabbits with gouged eyes, guinea pigs without food, and hamsters in urine and f***s-soaked cages.
Moreover, “accidental” killings of beloved pets happen every day in pounds in this America. Google “shelter mistakenly euthanized a pet,” and you’ll get “About 177,000 results (0.40 seconds).” It is not a mistake when it happens over and over again.
While nothing can bring these animals back, we must work to ensure that this kind of tragedy never happens again. And we do that by holding people accountable, regardless of whether their conduct was intentional, reckless, or — as management of the regressive Los Angeles city pound pretends — a “mistake.” The staff should be fired, and the city/state should legislate away their power to kill. www.GreenPetsAmerica.org A Sane Voice for Americas Animals.

The groundwork for animal welfare organizations in America was laid in 1866 by Henry Bergh who formed the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City.
