Children can consolidate, in their first years of existence, their beliefs according to the goals of the society. This paper developed the importance about the notion of respect to the animals as a transversal topic from initial education. This investigation is documental with a qualitative approach and a hermeneutic method. The information that was gathered, determined that episodes of animal cruelty happen all around the world and because of that, education is a tool which can redirect this phenomenon, because children can learn how to construct knowledge to reach it. It was concluded that it is important that children develop notions about the lives of the animals in the initial level, and this will collaborate to be sensitive towards nature.

Keywords : Respect; animals; transversal; initial education; values.
