Animal rights
Over the past few weeks, the students of
2R have been designing and conducting a survey on the DSPCA and animal
rights, as part of a CSPE action project. We had been interested by the
topic when it was disucssed in class and decided to try to find out more
about attitudes and awareness in the school. We drew up a questionnaire
and surveyed a sample of 100 students, representing each year group.
After analysing the results, we came to some interesting conclusions,
such as the finding that 2/3 of those surveyed would bring an abandoned
animal to the DSPCA, only 1 out of 5 respondents agree with wearing real
fur, and that 1 in 3 respondents believe animals should have the same
rights as humans. 2R hope to visit the DSPCA at the beginning of next
year to present the results. Thank you to Mr Barry and all those who
took part in the survey.
