SOCIABILITIES AND SENSITIVITIES: RECRUITMENTS IN HOMELESS ANIMAL CARE
Abstract Homeless animal protectors are volunteers who rescue, care for and donate abandoned animals for human adoption. They make up networks, organizing themselves into groups or acting autonomously. Interviews with protectors in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, afford an understanding of the recruitment system in these networks and activities. The collected stories are compared to similar processes observed by other studies of the field, especially in relation to animal rights movements. Recruitment was found to be associated with Veterinary Medicine schools and sociability networks, but self-recruitment cases via the internet, especially via Facebook, were also observed.
