Arguments Against No Pet Policy

A pack of dogs is playing in a ditch which is in the middle of a busy road. Some people in the cars look to see if the dogs' owner is nearby and wonder why anyone would allow their dogs to play so close to danger. Some drivers seem oblivious to the motley assortment romping in the water next to the road. They all keep driving without another thought for the safety or lives of those poor creatures. Unfortunately, this is a common scene in many areas. Unwanted dogs and cats are dumped to fend for themselves because there just are not enough homes for all of them. Where have these unwanted animals come from? The huge population is attributed to out of control breeding due to irresponsible owners, breeding by

There are many views on whether or not servicemen and women should be able to keep the dogs that they trained after their time in the army is up. In my opinion, dogs should be kept after service is over. Even though these dogs really belong to the Marines, their handlers should have a say in what happens to the dog. If the handlers are hurt during war, the dogs could be sent to another serviceman or woman. This needs to change very soon.

Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that the public is to blame for the pet overpopulation epidemic.

I believe that some people shouldn’t have pets. It takes a lot of responsibility to own and care for an animal. Some pets live their life tied to a chain for life, some with a cage that is never clean, and some that never get a meal.

While the use of service dogs, therapy dogs and emotional support animal is legitimate for people that have disabilities, many people abuse and fake their pets as service animals. In his Psychology today article, “Service Animal Scams: A Growing Problem,” author Hal Herzog Ph.D. explains how a growing number of Americans are faking their pets as service dogs. Herzog reports, “the present system governing the status of service animals is rife with abuse” and blasts The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Air Carrier Access Act for its loopholes. For example, if a person has a service dog, the ADA prohibits questions that involve the person’s disability, including documentation. Another issue is that the Air Carrier Access Act “gives legal

In 2003, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) released a campaign called ‘Holocaust on Your Plate’. This display compared pictures of animals in a slaughterhouse against pictures of Nazi concentration camp. This campaign stemmed from Nobel Prize-winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer, who wrote: ‘In relation to them [animals], all people are Nazis; for them it is an eternal Treblinka’ — a death camp in Poland” (CNN, 2003). It’s meant to emotionally target the viewer, similar to a scare tactic. It was also deeply insulting to many holocaust survivors. I believe this was a poor decision on PETA’s part, and the bad definitely outweighed the good for everyone.

More research is needed to find if animal-assisted interventions offer substantial and reliable improvements in symptoms in children with ASD. If family has extra resources and finds that these interventions might be beneficial for their child’s symptoms, this has not yet been found to be harmful. However, it might be advisable that social skills interventions are integrated into a child’s therapy before the use of an animal to aid in these interactions is selected. It seems that animal-assisted interventions are promising for improving safety and targeting atypical sensory responsiveness. If a child with autism’s safety cannot be managed in other ways and the family is experiencing substantial burden, a service dog might be a beneficial

Granted not everyone will agree to have pets in the dormitories simply because of personal preference, there are, also, those that cannot have pets in their living quarters due to medical reasons. If students were allowed to keep pets in their dorm, then students that possess allergies to animal hair would not be able to coexist. Having to relocate or avoid certain areas on campus because of animals is not reasonable. Also, some pets shed their coats and loose hair can cling to whatever the animals rub against, like the clothes of its owner

According to flagpets.com average amount of food for a dog is around 240 dollars per year. According to trupanion.com dogs surgeries can cost between $1,856 to $10,496. These are just a few reasons why dogs can be expensive. Even though most people love dogs we have to pay attention to the financial commitments. Dogs can be expensive because they need grooming, they need to stay healthy, and they need food and water.

The PETA ad is ineffective because it is misleading you. The smaller print calls for a "vegan" diet to combat obesity, asserting that replacing burgers with vedgetables is a healthier alternative-a claim few people would find questionable." So e people are questioning that what PETA isnt actually caring for overweight kids and that they only care for

Many apartment complexes have policies limiting the number of pets, the type of pets, and often restricting the size or breed of dogs. Others do not allow pets at all. Be sure you are aware of your complex's specific pet policy.

Companion animals have not always been considered beneficial to the human existence. In pasted centuries companion animals were consider objects with little value. For example, Martha C. Armstrong stated that, “pound dogs stood little chance of escaping their destiny: death by starvation, injury, gassing, or drowning.” This illustrated how animals that were captured did not have any rights and could be disposed of in any way. These animal companions were considered replaceable unless they were used as livestock and only if they would create a source of income for the animal guardian. The documentary illustrated how instead of euthanizing the animals the animal shelter began incorporating other means of helping the animal companion become more adoptable. It illustrated how placing the

At last, I would concider to have an open discussion on this topic in a meeting with all the employees. This way we can all reach to to a conclusion, I believe this can work better for us all. Having in mind this is work, and being able to bring our pets to work, it can open possibilities to many more

Although PET is considered safe, it can cause problems in our environment because it can only photo degrade. This mean it needs an immense amount of sunlight to degrade.

“A dog is a man’s best friend” goes much deeper than the phrase might initially imply. Recently many medical journals have begun to identify with the many and varied benefits of pet ownership. Men have always relied upon animals for work, transportation, and survival. As times have changed, man has begun to appreciate a different bond with animals. Gone are the days of animals running free outside around the homestead, for now animals are allowed inside and are considered by many to be an integral part of our daily lives! Medical studies have found that animals have a much greater intelligence level than originally thought. Through proper training and experience, animals are not only household pets, but also are becoming an accepted form
