Animal Breeding Is Good For The Community And Immoral

The mistreatment of animals is a serious problem within our society for a variety of reasons. While current laws and conditions are improving, there is still a

In addition to pet owners being irresponsible with breeding practices, some owners believe that they can breed the animals for a profit. They do not take into consideration the moral or

Thesis Statement: It is better to rescue animals than to buy them for ethical as well as practical reasons such as health and cost.

Many people do not report cases of animal cruelty. Reports of animal cruelty are less common than crimes against people. This is because the cases do not go through state agencies. The animals that come to mind when someone mentions animal cruelty is often Dogs and cats. These animals do have a higher percent rate, with dogs at 70.1%, cats at 20.9% and all other animals at 24.1%. The percent’s come from cases that people report. If people were to fill all cases of animal cruelty, the rates would be much more different. A common form of negligence is people taking their animal to a place far from home to just leave them there. Animal control pick up these animals everyday and send them to shelter. For the most part the animals have a healthy portion of food and they have shelter from the environment. Most shelters are kill shelters. No-Kill shelters become less common to their counterpart. Animals not adopted within a certain period of time undergo euthanasia. This keeps room for more animals. No-kill shelters protect the animals and help rehabilitate them. The other 24.1% is the factory animals. The purpose of a factory animal's life is a food source. So the owners mistreat their animals because the animals purpose is to be a food source. It is almost as if they do not matter. They deserve animal rights just as much as the other animals do.

Dog breeding is dangerous because to make a perfect dog they too often inbreed and cause birth defects and other health issues in dogs. Terry Allen, an “In These Times” senior editor who has written the magazine’s monthly investigative health and science column since 2006, argues in “We’re Breeding Dogs to Death” that “neither price, pedigree nor being loved like a member of the family can shield a dog from the pain, breathing difficulties, cancer, panoply of debilitating genetic disorders, mental illness, crippling physiognomy and shortened life span that disproportionately plague purebreds.” The article “Selective Breeding or Artificial Selection” explains that in dogs, the “frequency of being homozygous for rare recessive disorders increases when inbreeding occurs, potentially causing severe

Many American households own a pet, but their pets may have originated from a cruel background. Especially dogs, for many of them stem from one of the ten thousand puppy mills located across the United States. Puppy mills are large commercial breeding facilities that specializes in maximizing profit over the welfare and conditions of the animals. Animals live in unsustainable conditions which they are provided with the minimum amount of food, water, exercise, shelter, protection, and veterinary care; yet, these animals are forced to continue breeding for the sake of providing beautiful pets for our own personal expenses. The government should step in to advance regulations and inspections of large commercial breeding facilities because old rules no longer fit the current time anymore. For us to take home a new healthy family member, we should all know it comes from a safe place.

Humans keep pets such as cats, dogs, and horses; why should farm animals be treated any differently than how people treat their own pets? (Elizabeth Kolbert 17). Every day, millions of farm animals are being slaughtered inhumanely by farm workers. There needs to be a stop to this. The treatment of animals should be improved. There should be no more growth hormones given to animals, because they cause many problems such as developmental disabilities. Living conditions should be made appropriate, and farm animals should be given space to roam.

What is the best limit to the dangers to animals after their release from the program, and to monitor their success are both a important facts of Captive Breeding. In 2008, the Condor Preservation Act, a federal bill that stops hunters from using lead bullets in the California condor’s range, it were effect. In the time of captive breeding, if the scientist will be able to look over animals, We could learn facts about different species that we don’t know, or even a break through from science, it could be a huge step forward to the future.

All around the world, dogs suffer daily from not just their owners, but from their own bodies. Inbreeding and extreme breed standards lower the quality of life for purebred dogs (Rooney and Sargan). Puppy mills, despite government crackdown, continue to operate and sell ill, disfigured dogs (Solotaroff). Breeding purebred dogs only for profit and not for the wellbeing of the dog, is unethical, because of puppy mills, dog defects due to this kind of breeding, and dog quality of life.

pregnancy. Most of them are also bred at an early age only for the sole

The practice of the overbreeding of dogs to sell their puppies for a profit is commonly known as ‘puppy farming’. RSPCA Australia defines puppy farming as an ‘intensive dog breeding facility that is operated under inadequate conditions that fail to meet the dogs’ behavioural, social and/or physiological needs’. Owners of puppy farms, otherwise known as puppy factories or puppy mills, often keep large numbers of animals for excessive breeding. Once the puppies have been born, they are often sold off to unsuspecting clients with no registration, no microchip, no vaccinations and unknown genetically inherited problems. Stakeholders in this issue include the animals, the breeder, any past, present or future clients, the animal welfare officers

A common solution to this issue would be the spaying and neutering of shelter animals so as to not promote any offspring. The current problem of overpopulation of animals in the United States stems from the number of male and female dogs that are intact and can reproduce offspring (Feldmann 959). Through personal observation, the process of neutering a male dog and spaying female dog is extremely quick and

When most people think of international issues, they think of global warming, war, natural disasters, and the like. Aside from those of us involved in the animal rescue system, hardly anyone would think of animal overpopulation as an international issue in the same way that other problems are. The opinion of the general public notwithstanding, there are few issues as universal to different communities around the world as the problem of too many pets with too few homes. Animal overpopulation rears its ugly head from Fort Collins to Mumbai, and the scale of the suffering that it causes for these animals is correspondingly tremendous.

Those puppies not only miss out on the most important social learning skills, but also have inherited medical conditions due to the close genetic breeding.

The main goal of captive breeding is to help conserve animals that are endangered or threatened in the wild so that a species does not become extinct. By holding the worlds species in captivity, we can save their genetic material from complete elimination. Other advantages of captured breeding include the following: “A recreation of the natural habitat, protection from predators, and a decrease in illness or malnutrition” that they would otherwise suffer from in the wild (Primrack, 361). Breeding programs also enrich the populations of animal species. Cross breeding can increase the gene pool of an animal’s species, and most importantly, animals that are hurt, injured, or need intense care will receive it in captivity. Captive breeding focuses mainly on threatened species with low diversity. For example, there are many bird species that are declining in population more and more every day. The threats that have led to their decline include habitat loss, degradation, invasive species, and exploitation. Researchers found that, “Sixteen species of birds would have gone extinct in the absence of conservation intervention” (Butchart, 268). Overall, captive breeding slowed their rate of decline and prevented extinction by successfully addressing main threats, such as habitat destruction and pollution. Captive breeding may be a last resort solution however, with the rapid increase of natural
