helpet
In our current society, we observe how animals are generally treated as inferior, exploited and brutalized by us humans. Based on that, we decided to create an app to support and encourage the appreciation of animal life. This app will be divided in several parts: complaints, in which the app user will be able to get in touch with animal protective associations and report abuse; missing, in which the person who has lost their friend will be able to create a public profile so that other people can help them find them; donation, which will be divided in food, subsistence allowance, medicine, doctors' appointments, hygiene products and volunteers — here the user will have the choice of picking the institution/temporary home they'll help and schedule times to walk the pets; adoption, there will be a data base of each animal found on the streets, besides shelters, so that they are treated and available for adoption; vets, in which the app user will find the closest doctors and veterinary clinics in their location; vegan and cruelty-free products, here the user will find products that are not derived from animals and companies that don't test on animals; wildlife protection institutions, here the user will find institutions they'll be able to donate to and practice ecotourism, helping to protect threatened species and getting to know them in their natural habitat, in a different way from zoos; petitions, there will be petitions to support animals and the environment. In every part of the app, there will be a search box. This app will help raise awareness about the risks animals face on the streets, making people act to protect them, learn about protection projects and companies that don't exploit them, thus avoiding abuse against all species.
