I have often observed that people tend to ignore strays and occasionally, even wounded animals. This is either due to lack of knowledge or if sensitive, lack of direction. They just do not know what to do or where to take the animals.
At least one could make an attempt to do better in such circumstances starting with their own neighbourhood. To make people aware of such sensitivity towards animals and to make a difference in the quality of life for animals, a welfare committee needs to be formed with animal lovers. The next step would be pool some funds to start functioning. The government or welfare organisation could be approached for funds or guidance.
Initially the committee could meet informally and plan out their actions. In the beginning, stray or wounded animals could be taken care of and attended to, in the nearest animal care centre available. This may work only temporarily and may not be convenient. Eventually, the committee would need to set up a place for animals to be brought in and attended to. They would need to keep the place replenished with food and medical necessities too.
A veterinary physician needs to be appointed at the centre. They would also need more volunteers once they are set up, to make an impactful difference in animal care.
After all this is achieved they could start spreading awareness campaign through advertisement, posters, street shows, training etc.
The sentence had repetitive words replaced with synonyms and pronouns. "but my father disliked..." is too much alike to "my father disliked" so it would get tedious and harder to read.
They replaced it with "but he hated ... " to get some variation.
This is true bc that is how you identify pessimism
I think the answer is characterization (I originally said plot but I just realized that I made a mistake when I was reading. Sorry about that! Hope I didn't mess anything up for you.) :D
