Active in all phases of humane work, Grace Johnson is a recognized humanitarian on both state and national levels. She Is one of those largely responsible for the humane slaughter legislation which became law in 1957, whereby over 100,000,000 slaughter animals per year receive a measure of mercy. Also, she is among those who made a major contribution to the existence of the Utah Humane Society, now considered one of the finest organizations of its kind in the nation. Humane she education, states, is as important to human as to animal welfare. sitls In the uation, the animal suffers physically, but the human bears spiritual scars. A person without compassion is not a fully developed human being. You do not teach compassion by saying, Be kind. Compassion is an EXPERIENCE and occurs in the vital characterforming years in a childs association with animals, Mrs. Johnson said. In his relationship with his parents, the child occupies the role of the helpless one. Receiving not giving comprises his philosophy. But in his relationship with animals he is taught that here is a life , sensitive like his own, to love, hunger, pain, heat, cold, thirst and fear yet this animal life is helpless, without words to cry out against suffering or injustice or to plead for mercy. The animal looks to the human for love, mercy, and protection. the Now, miraculously, cruelty-to-anima- roles are changed. The pro- tected becomes the protector, the receiver the giver. The child now experiences that miracle of love, tenderness, and responsibility called compassion. And it is here the double miracle occurs. It being the nature of compassion to expand, the child now discovers that acts of violence have become repugnant to him.

Many case histories of violent crimes against humans reveals that these crimes were first committed upon animals.

Defy this and we defy the very nature of life itself. If we are to survive; if we going to create a better world for ourselves and our children, at long last we shall have to learn that we must be kind to animals.
