This project has helped me to understand the concept of being an action researcher and Global Citizen because before this project, I only had the basic knowledge regarding these animals, for instance abused, neglect, abandoned. It wasn't until this project was I able to dig deeper and apply and empathy to the situation. I was also able to educate myself with the statistics. This project has helped me understand the concept of Global Citizenship because I was able to take a situation where they can't advocate for themselves, and advocate for them. With this project, although my expectations weren't high, and although I didn't know about the previous knowledge, I do feel like my project met the requirements because of the impact that it made in the animals lives, and the lives of the people that were also changed. The patterns that I saw in the work that helped dogs and cats in these situations is that a lot of people that attended the event had a bigger heart for dogs than cats, and majority of the people were also very particular about the breed as well. The perspectives that I learned in the research process in regards to animal euthanasia is that numerous owners and shelters euthanize to put pets out of misery and say that it is the best option but it's not. We often see euthanasia as a bad thing and the perspectives are different from those who see it as a good thing, to end pets our of their misery. At first I had low expectations, and thought that it wasn't going to be a success, but after numerous emails letters, and a brilliant idea it worked out in the end and the results were nothing that I was expecting. A long term plan for action is important because it ensure that things will work out in the end with no complications. What worked is our goal to get pets adopted. What didn't was our original idea, because others things came up. What we could have done better is the planning, and getting the word out about our event.
