Group 3D Final: Hypocrisy and Animal Abuse in the United States

1. What is your SAPSA about?
The United States tends to demonize Asian countries for eating “strange” meats, such as dog, saying that eating dog and slaughtering dog is inhumane and cruel. We wanted to highlight the U.S.’s hypocrisy of criticizing Asian countries for animal rights abuses by showing that the U.S. is also guilty of these abuses. Instead of putting the primary focus on their own issues, U.S. citizens put down these Asian countries in attempt to make themselves seem like  the superior moral compass of the world. 
2. Who is your intended audience?
Our intended audience is anyone who believes in the propaganda that the U.S. is preaching. This includes citizens of the U.S., animal rights activists that are unaware of this hypocrisy, and people looking to immigrate to the U.S. thinking that the U.S. is a perfect place.
3. Did you accomplish what you set out to do?
We believe that we did an adequate job of showing evidence of our claims, although we did wish we could have more time to show more examples. 
4. What were the challenges?
The largest challenge of the SAPSA was putting together a coherent video. None of us had editing experience so it was difficult to figure out the mechanics of putting a video together. We also found it difficult to talk about the problems with the United States’ opinion of Asian Animal practices without sounding like we were putting down the United States. 
5. What would you have done differently?
  If we could have done anything differently we would have tried to incorporate more footage of interviews or more footage that we filmed ourselves. 
6. What is the future of your SAPSA?
Our SAPSA is meant to inform others of the United States’ hypocrisy, so we hope that in the future it is spread to bring more awareness to the issues concerning animal rights. We also hope that it can be used to inform others so that it can combat the stereotypes surrounding Asians.
