| In recent years, cases of stray animal abuse have become more visible in China, with the stray population reaching nearly 100 million, almost equal to that of pets. This issue stems from cultural beliefs, policy gaps, and a widespread lack of animal welfare education, especially among youth. Animals are often viewed as tools rather than companions, and anthropocentric thinking leads to a lack of respect for other species. While celebrity animals like pandas receive public affection, stray animals are frequently ignored, even when mistreated. China still lacks basic protection laws for non-endangered animals. Through the board game I designed, I aim to raise public awareness of animal rights, foster empathy and reflection through gameplay, and inspire greater support for animal welfare legislation. |
