Ask your kids who theirhero is. Ask them if they want a world without animals. Without food to eat. Without clean water to drink.Without their parents to look after them. Without love to keep them safe.It’s time for a change. I can’t change your views, only you can do that.If you don’t want to do it for yourself, at least do it for your kids.Have a heart! Give your children life!”
