“We love the cat, Siu Fa (小花), in our Campus; and we hope to see Siu Fa lives happily with healthy and energetic body. However, what we cannot see is that animals are losing their lives in the Amazon Rainforest fire and the Coral Bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef. Cats and dogs, deer and sheep, and certainly dolphins and fishes……with many others, suffering and dying in devastating condition”, says Dr Chan Ka Ming from the Department of Social Science.

Having research background in animal and cultural studies, Dr Chan works with the Library to arrange the-first-of-its-kind screening activity: sharing reflections of animal-human relationship with students through three selected films.
