<<<<<<,I think the best way to teach kids responsibility toward animals is
to model
it, showing them that it's a responsibility for mature people .... like
driving a car or caring for younger kids.

Another good way (especially if you can't have pets at home) to teach caring
for animals is to volunteer at the humane society or SPCA. I did several
things like that in my childhood. One year I was able to volunteer at the
Vet clinic on an army base, caring for the MP's german shepards. I also
handed out pamphlets at a fair for the SPCA one summer. I donated supplies
to the humane society, etc. Being involved with those places taught me alot
about animals and humans.
