| Summary: | Animals can be humans’ best friends as they become pets. It is assumed that their welfare
including food, shelter and health are being taken care of by their owners. However, we cannot
assume the same for the stray animals on the street. Stray animals may continue to breed and
populate as they are unneutered. Furthermore, they may also carry dangerous diseases such as
rabies which is known in Sarawak. In addition, we cannot rely solely on animal shelters to
accommodate all stray animals because shelters are meant to provide room for more desperate
animals. Moreover, some pet owners abandoned their pets because of the financial struggle to
support their pets’ welfare after the Movement Control Order (MCO). These animals would
have accidental death, illness and so on because they lack basic survival skills. Thus, the
number of stray animals is increasing due to these issues. To mitigate this problem, an online
platform to manage issues of stray animals called Stray Care is proposed. The expected
outcome of this project is to facilitate the public to rescue and save stray animals. The users of
this platform will be able to add, view and share the information of stray animals such as
location and health. As a result, users will be able to adopt the animals, give them a second
chance for a better life and reduce the number of stray animals. The survey results from 10
testers indicate that the majority agree that Stray Care is capable of storing and retrieving
records on stray animals and their adoption status, as well as providing effective education
modules for users to acquire knowledge about animals. Additionally, the survey respondents
found the application to be useful to help in searching and adopting stray animals. |
