Support Us The Coalition for Healthy School Food has launched a new virtual humane education program for kids – and rescued animals are serving as the teachers. In the past, CHSF has taught in-person lessons to elementary school children about the impact human diet has on our health, animal welfare, and the planet; but a transition to virtual learning has created a unique opportunity for children to “visit” rescued farmed animals every week at Catskill Animal Sanctuary, a 150-acre refuge home to over 300 animals in upstate New York. Through virtually interacting with their new animal friends, the children have learned to recognize animals as individuals and developed a love for creatures not traditionally recognized as companions.
