O design e a arte como ferramenta de auxílio ao bem-estar do animal doméstico

Abstract

The Design can be a great ally in solving various problems for humanity, currently, it has extended it’s doings to animals, those who live with men, in order to give them greater comfort and dignity to live. It’s known that most brazilian’s houses have one or more pets, which can be dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fishes, and others; Each species with it’s particularities. Likewise, the number of animals abandoned in shelters, those that may die prematurely, or even there are those who are released in the wild, abandoned to their own fate increase. Such evidences may be related to the fact that the tutor (a persona) probably didn’t know how to weigh all it’s pet’s necessary requirements to be taken care, or did not have access to enough knowledge about the duties of a responsible pet ownership, that is to be taking care of a life that is not human. Knowing the Design’s achievements, the need to use it to create a solution, humble but yet genuine, to teach the basic knowledge about taking care of pets is brought up, contextualized to the five freedoms that rule the concept of animal welfare.
