NAME OF THE SUBCULTURE: Animalistic subculture

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The animalistic subculture promotes the valuing of life and seeks to completely eliminate any
form of exploitation and cruelty towards animals through practical measures that transform the
connection between society and the environment. In the capital of the Atlantic (Colombia), this
subculture has a large number of participants that is increasingly increasing, as they are more
immersed in animal protection practices, these are mostly young people who get involved in
animal rescue groups. stray dogs, events to promote adoption instead of buying a pet and also in
the creation of new shelters for these animals. Also, on the rise in this subculture are the practices
of veganism or also being vegetarian, promoting food ethics, since abandoning all animal
consumption now opens a way to build transformations.

DIVERSITY INCLUSION

The animalistic subculture at the same time as other subcultures, the diversity of voices,
perspectives and experiences in the animalistic subculture enriches its reach and its ability to
achieve positive change. In Barranquilla, this movement has managed to capture the attention of
different people from different places of origin, gender, sexual preference, disability and also
religion. These people also have the right to choose in what interest or ability to help in this cause
because they can do so through veganism on a plant-based diet or through activism and the rescue
of vulnerable animals.

ADVANCING TECH

In that sense, with respect to technologies, he indicated that, within the framework of the district
campaign 'Adopt is Save', and with the objective of strengthening the culture of adoption, mainly
of those animals that enter the Animal Welfare Center, from the District Mayor's Office "an
adoption web platform will be implemented so that those citizens interested in adopting a
recovered animal can apply and carry out the process in a simple way and, if approved, provide a
second chance at life to these sentient beings within a home" .

THE ENVIRONMENT

natural habitats, as an essential element. Also, this subculture that works for animal rights also
promotes ethical and sustainable agricultural practices, while also being concerned about
environmental pollution that is initiated by raising animals in overcrowded conditions and
inadequate waste management. animals.

LEADERSHIP

In the city of Barranquilla there are few leaders who defend animal rights as a subculture within
the Caribbean coast region. Those social leaders who, although few, are essential in the protection
of animal rights and raising public awareness. The animal subculture frequently uses these few
passionate activists who are increasingly trying to raise people's awareness of the importance of
animal protection.

FUTURE PREDICTION

Although several animal rights organizations strive to rescue, care for, and find homes for the
many abandoned animals that wander around each day, they face a considerable challenge.
Various animal defense groups in the city have pointed out that, despite their desire, it has
become a monumental task. It is not only about educating people so that they understand that
animals are sensitive beings, but also about reaching all areas of the city to provide help, since the
abuse and abandonment of animals are widespread problems in various sectors of the city.
Barranquilla. The animal movement in Barranquilla has managed to promote new initiatives in
the local government. The Animal Welfare Center, located on the road to Juan Mina, is a 3,100
square meter building that will provide health care and shelters to care for up to 700 animals
simultaneously, including felines and canines, along with 3 mangers for horses. Likewise, it will
offer different services such as veterinary offices, waiting areas, basic health care, sterilization,
clinical laboratory tests to support diagnoses, it will have spaces for surgeries, maternity,
hospitalization, deworming and vaccination. This complex will guarantee comprehensive
attention and care for animals in vulnerable conditions, while promoting the protection and care
of these animals through a civic culture in which dignified treatment of them takes precedence.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Activists in the animal subcultures in Barranquilla enrich the movement and make it more
effective. The inclusion of people from different places of origin, orientation and religion is
essential to promote justice and equity in animal protection. Collaboration between different
groups and movements interested in social justice, animal protection, and environmental
protection can enhance the efforts of everyone involved. Animal rights and environmental
activism can be exhausting. Self-care and sustainability practices should be encouraged to avoid
emotional exhaustion and activist burnout. Partnering with other communities and organizations
with similar goals is an effective strategy for achieving greater impact. Animal subcultures
generally play a crucial role in promoting justice and ethics towards animals and the environment.
Diversity, education and collaboration are essential tools for the effective advancement of these
goals.If we want to contribute a grain of sand, we can listen to the foundations and lend a helping
hand when we have the opportunity. These foundations are non-profit and exist solely to be the
voice of those who cannot speak but who without words know how to express the most sincere
love.
