The School of Design of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) have innovatively created an animated short film titled "My Master Sucks." This engaging animation follows the exciting adventures of a black and white cat named Oreo, highlighting the importance of pet safety and raising awareness about crucial pet safety issues.
This animated short film conveys a strong message on the importance of preventative measures in ensuring the safety and well-being of pets. It emphasises the responsibilities of pet ownership, particularly the proactive identification and mitigation of potential hazards. Through this engaging animation, PolyU intends to enhance public understanding of animal welfare rights and stimulate greater community involvement in animal protection initiatives.
The story follows Oreo, a frightened cat who jumped out of a window during a thunderstorm due to the owner's neglect. Seeking help from an SPCA animal inspector, Oreo eventually took legal action against the owner. In the end, the judge ruled against the owner's negligence, highlighting common bad behaviours among pet owners and reminding everyone to prioritise pet safety.
