Pets in Classrooms
The ASPCA is not opposed to the keeping of “pets” in the classroom to teach young children respect for animals and humane care. However, the ASPCA believes that where pets are kept in classrooms, their environment should be nonstressful and should meet the needs of the species being kept. The ASPCA believes that classroom pets should be domestic animals. Handling should be minimized and carefully supervised by an adult. Finally, provision for care over weekends and for prolonged periods when school is closed must be made.
