My project aims to raise awareness about the horiffic and cruel conditions in which pets that are sold at flea markets are born, live, get sick and die. My goal is to prevent people from buying animals from outdoor markets as every purchase of that kind only perpetuates the problem.
I will write a short article informing the public about the abuse these animals have to endure. Furthermore I will be sharing a poster on social media that briefly states the reasons why someone must not purchase any pets this way and I will include the link to my article for more information.
