The Be Humane campaign seeks to discover whether granting animal attributes to humans may generate empathy to the same degree as animals given human characteristics. For my subjects, I have chosen members of society often marginalized or misunderstood, those that garner little sympathy from those who do not share their burdens. For example: the homeless, prostitutes, the overweight, those with mental disorders, members of the LGBT community, etc. I propose that portraying these individuals as anthropomorphic animals, particularly companion animals, might draw a glaring dilemma into focus. That being that people more readily feel sympathy for animals than for other people.
