I will be presenting general information on my project in class tomorrow. I do not have to have any video or picture elements prepared before then. Basically, it’s an introduction to my project followed by a Q&A session and allows classmates to brainstorm for additional ideas that may provide more in depth insight into the plight of homeless animals.
I skimmed through several thousands pictures last night of shelter animals and previous fosters and have narrowed them down to 112 images.
The “documentary” will be a compilation of pictures and video and will discuss the crisis of irresponsible owners and the violences our society imposes upon animals. These violences include but are not limited to: intact animals, roaming animals, breeding and exploitation of animals from puppy mills and backyard breeders, and the dumping or rehoming of animals due to moving, too many to care for, or behavioral issues. We will also touch on euthanasia, which many people see as the problem with animal shelters. However, euthanasia is the result of the real problem–irresponsible people.
