Making a Stand for Animal Welfare
October 22, 2009
Entirely designed by the group members themselves, these comic cards were sold to raise funds for ACRES.
"People think that cats are a nuisance because they shed fur, leave bodily waste in public areas and can cause a noise disturbance. This is a very wrong impression of cats!" he fumes. "On the contrary, cats are clean animals and can be easily toilet-trained. These misconceptions breed intolerance for animals in public areas."
His schoolmate Coco Tay Xinjun, chips in, "It's unbearable for me to watch footage on the cable TV channel Animal Planet, of puppies covered with fleas and pets being abused to death on Miami Animal Police and Animal Cops Phoenix!"
With such strong convictions, Hongxin, Xinjun and two of their peers took to the streets to raise public awareness about animal welfare.
