San Pedro Science Center

By
Real Estate Agent with Vista Sotheby's International

San Pedro is very lucky to be the home of two science centers for kids.  The marine mammal lab and the animal science center with farm animals.   Recently newly elected School Board rep for the area Richard Vludovic announced they would be closing the animal center and making changes to the marine mammal center.

Los Angeles county has deep pockets (see $1 Trillion dollars in property value blog.) and it is absolutely ridiculous that these special and valuable programs can not be fully funded.

Vludovic just announced they have "found" $100,000 to keep the mammal center intact but that the teachers must go from the center with farm animals.  What is a teaching program without the teachers?

Teaching children to care for animals is one of the most powerful ways to prevent cruelty to animals which in turn prevents cruelty to other human beings.  It's my opinion that you can not help today's children enough to learn kindness and compassion for all living creatures.

If you'd like to contact Mr. Vladovic, please call him at 213-241-7000 and urge him to look a little deeper to find the funds to save these teachers and the program as a whole.
