Animal Shelter Abuse
Hurt. Lonely. Abused, Unwanted. Those are some of the reasons we have an animal shelter is for the unwanted or abused animals in or near our county. Our animal shelter is running low on food, supplies and money that they need to take care of the animals, they are asking for donations to help them care for the animals. The reason you should help the animals and donate to the shelter is because one you could be giving a little kid a new best friend, two you could be saving the lives of many animals, three the shelter wont have to look for other shelters to relocate the animals.

Most children want a puppy or some type of animal growing up to become their new best friend. Most parents will go to an animal shelter and adopt a animal for their child. What would happen if your county's animal shelter no longer had enough money to run the shelter so they had to relocate the animals to a different shelter more than an hour away? Most parents wont drive more than an hour multiple times just to get there child a friend so what would happen to the animal you were going to adopt? would it find a new adopter, or would it be putt down to make more room for other animals because that animal has been there to long?

The animals still on the street what is happening to them will they just have to stay on the street because there is no way someone would pick up the dog.When some shelters get to full they start putting animals down who can not find a home is a certain amount of time so what would happen if the shelter were to get help from shelters and they end up putting down more than 50 dogs just to make

    In a model of a No Kill community, all private shelters manage their admissions much like human services do. They take in only as may pets they can care for with their entire donor dollars are going to be saving, not ending lives. According to one source, “In reality, every intuition has a capacity limit. If a hospital or domestic violence shelter has only 1,000 beds, they will not take in 2,000 people and kill the excess” (Moore). A No Kill shelter takes in pets to the crisis care and the worst cases first. When a family gives…

    Although the equal rights of animals is in question, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) effectively advocates for the well-being of animals by providing health care assistance and legal advocacy, searching out the problem to find a solution that is potent, and rescuing them from danger. The ASPCA does compile available resources with intentions to better the lives of animals. Statistics substantiate that the numbers of animals entering shelters in a year's time does not counterpart with the number of animals leaving the shelter in the same year’s time. For this reason, the ASPCA sets out to not only find, but also to resolve the conflict. The organization has…

    “Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other ways.” (Peta) The topic I chose to protest for is animal abuse. Not just any animal abuse but circus animal abuse. Animals are fun and to see them do things animals don't really do. The thing you don’t see is how these circus animals are treated just to do the things you do see. These animals go through a lot believe it or not. Animals get parted from their family. They have no free wild time. They spend most of their life in cages and chained up. “ 96% of a circus animal's life is spent in chains or cages.” (Do Something) Circuses all started in the 14th century in Rome. They used animals just to show them off but not to make them do something.…

    Each year, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in The United States, simply because too many pets come into shelters and too few people consider adoption when looking for a pet. Accordantly with ASPCA Pet Statistics, the biggest decline in euthanized was in dogs (from 3.9 million to 3.3 million, in the last 5 years). Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized (670,000 dogs and 860,000 cats). The number of dogs and cats euthanized in U.S shelter annually has decline from approximately 2.6 million in 2011. In 2017, a total of about 89.7 million dogs live in household in The United States as pets. Dogs are the predominant number in the pet ownership statistics at U.S. The reason why dogs have a higher demand might imply its characteristics as: they are gentle and friendly with children, most of them are easy to groom and bond closely with people and family, they are easy to train, also possess a high-energy that keep them ready to action. We have reasons to adopt dogs, because we will save a life, will cost us less money, and because it’s one way to fight puppy mills.…

    Animal Abuse Registry

    Animal abusers are heartless people who don’t deserve to live life with their crimes unnoticed. Lisa Weisberg, senior vice president of government affairs for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, "If you treat animal abuse as a $50 fine and a slap on the wrist, people won't take it very seriously” (Kenna 1). Charging the abusers only a small fine is just not strict enough. This form of punishment does not fit the crime or prevent it from happening again. American people need to recognize animal abuse as the serious crime that it is and the consequences of these actions. The United States should establish a national animal abuse registry in order to decrease acts of animal abuse.…

    There are about 7.6 million animals that enter shelters nationwide every year. Out of them, three-four million are adopted, 2.7 million are euthanized, and the rest wait in the shelter. If more families were to adopt an animal from a shelter it could help some of these animals very much, plus there are some benefits to having a pet. There are many cases of pets being abandoned, those animals become strays and are mostly unwanted, but adopting strays from shelters or taking them in can be very beneficial for the animals, and even to the owners or their children. Adopting an animal can also teach children things that can be very useful for them in the future.…

In other countries around the world these acts would fall under animal cruelty. "In Britain, the Protection of Animals Act of 1911 makes it…

    Animal Shelter

    • 595 Words
    • 3 Pages

    There are numerous stray animals in Cadiz, Kentucky. We do not have an animal shelter where these stray animals can stay. These stray animals normally end up starving to death or like most, ran over by motor-vehicles. With an animal shelter we will have a better chance to keep animals in a safe place. It would give people a place to volunteer at, and maybe even adopt a pet if they choose to. At an animal shelter they would have all their shots and records up to date. A shelter closer to home would be more convenient rather than hauling animals to a shelter that ranges from twenty to forty minutes away.…
