Animal Population Increase: Crowed Shelters May Lead to Euthanization of Healther Pets

No-Kill shelters rehabilitate animals that could be good pets. This also includes any animal that is injured or sick. Throughout the world, many people think that some animals are bad or are considered dangerous. Although, some may be true, but it is mostly false because the dogs that are consider dangerous, for example pit bulls or rottweilers, these animals are victims. They are victims because they don’t know what is good because they were train differently or they were abused by their owners…

pity a shelter animal. When I decided to become a Veterinary Technician, I anticipated working in a vet office. Unpredictably, I changed my mind.

This, I feel is a violation to animal rights and is a cruel way for these animals to have to leave this world. I disagree…

A Man's Best Friend For many of us, the animals in our lives are our faithful pals who make us laugh, that keep us company and love us no matter what. But a man’s best friend doesn’t necessarily have to be a dog; I believe that any animal can be considered to be a man’s best friend. On the other hand they are many animals who don’t have the same luck as other animals do. For those animals life is hard for them on the streets .Most animals on the streets often suffer from hunger, illness, tumors…

Several weeks later, the effects of destroying this part of the animal's brain will be tested in a shuttle avoidance task in which animals will learn when to cross over an electrified…
