EMPOWERMENT TECHNOLOGIES ICT PROJECT FOR A CHANGE: Cage the Cruelty, Not the Animals”
INTRODUCTION
In our current age of advanced technology, social media has taken the world by storm. We are able to spread and acquire information with just a click of our finger. With Social media we are able to spread awareness and bring more attention to the many issues we are facing both in the local and international scene. With social media in everyone’s grasp, this project aims to spread awareness and strengthen the stand against all forms of abuse to animals through these platforms, specifically Facebook.
Animal abuse takes many forms and is technically codified under the catch-all definition of animal cruelty, which can entail acts of physical abuse, abandonment, neglect, or torture. The main focus of this project is to solve or exacerbate the underlying problems relating to unwanted or stray dogs and cats by raising awareness of global animal rights problems and to shed light on the plight of some of the most endangered and exploited inhabitants of the world.
This project aims to uphold the law by conducting barangay seminars that would bring this topic into strong focus for those who were ignorant of the true nature of animal cruelty around the world. Moreover, this research aims to provide simple ways to aid and promote organizations who hold the same ideals as for those who were well aware of the challenges faced by animals of all sizes and in every region.
PURPOSE
Through social media, this project aims to:
Raise awareness of animal cruelty in the local, national and even global scene
Prevent further abuse to animals and encourage people to report when such acts of animal cruelty are supported and condoned.
Promote and advocate the policies protecting animals from abuse.
Create a campaign and outreach programs that would help provide for the shelters of homeless and abused animals.
The main purpose of this project is to stop, mitigate and prevent the neglect, maltreatment and exploitation of animals by human beings, advocating “Cage the Cruelty, Not the Animals”.
