Abstract: Learning about animals in elementary schools tends to focus on cognitive aspects and neglect empathy and moral reasoning, leading students to adopt utilitarian attitudes toward animals. This community service aimed to implement an empathy and moral reasoning program to improve students’ attitudes toward animals. The program involved teacher training (two sessions) and classroom implementation in grade 4A of SDN A Malang, involving 28 students. Methods included active discussion, role play, literacy activities, and reflection. Evaluation was conducted through observation and pre-test and post-test using the Animal Attitude Scale-10 (AAS-10). The results showed an increase in the mean attitude score from 33.65 to 36.38 (an increase of 2.73 points). Qualitatively, students demonstrated improved empathy, perspective-taking, and more reflective moral reasoning toward animal treatment
