PETA believes that because 4-Hers show animals at state and county fairs, 4-Hers are making the animals suffer. They also feel that 4-H does not take the proper care of animals when the animals are sick, injured, and overly worked (PETA). PETA’s mission is to protect the rights of animals ( People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). 4-H’s mission is to instill a positive influence on every child in the world and to encourage children to step outside their comfort zone and tackle new challenges daily. When one participates in 4-H showmanship, a 4-Her learns to discipline the animal respectful. 4-H does not abuse animals in any way, shape, or form. If an individual does not get anything else out of 4-H, one learns to always be kind to others and treat animals with respect.
