Persuasive Essay On Animals

To be more specific, animals get abused or abandoned every 10 seconds which shouldn't be happening. Overall about 7.6 million animals go into shelters nationwide and out of those only 3-4 million of them get adopted every year. Not only do 2.7 million dogs and cats get killed every year because the shelters get too full and there aren’t enough homes to adopt them but in high kill shelters animals get killed if they aren't adopted in a certain amount of time. Around easter time people buy chicks and rabbits, and often abandon them, not realizing they still need care and they also will dye these animals different colors thinking it will do them no harm but in reality it does. That is why in some states that is illegal. Abandoning animals in many states is a crime. 1 out of every 10 dogs get a home they will always live in which means that most dogs do not get a home that they will always live in and less than 20% of cats and 15-20% of dogs get reunited with their owner after they are lost. Homeless animals outnumber humans 5-1 which are a lot. One way to help animals is by adopting abused or abandoned animals. People can also donate to charities that help abandoned animals. Many animals go to shelters because they get left behind by their owners or they were found on the streets. Most pets that are stray were kept indoors. There are about 70 million stray cats in the united states. Animal Abuse and abandonment are

Thesis: Addressing what a No Kill Shelter is and that they should have standards for using specific euthanasia methods, treating “unadoptable” animals, and evaluating the Live Release Rate will help decrease the unnecessary deaths of shelter animals around the world, especially with the help of shelter based programs.

Attention-getter: Imagine you and your family going to the local animal shelter to adopt a new

“So while not all shelters can ‘‘afford’’ to keep the animals, they could find people who will foster the animals until adoption, or some other, positive alternative.” (www.neenink.com) “Why, if an animal is not a harm to others, should it be killed without any choice? The animals can’t speak for themselves. Their fates depend on us to be their voice”. “Are you up for the challenge? I know I am”.(www.neenink.com) This shows that the issue of pet abandonment is that people sometimes need a companion to help them through their life and if the people of the world keep on putting their animals in a shelter, then they end up getting put down then one day there won’t be a special furry friend by your side. Some people who go through mental depression get so scared that one day they might commit suicide but the animals stop them from doing

Have you ever been watching tv and the ASPCA commercial comes on, you know the one that has the song “Arms of an Angle.” The commercial makes you feel super sad for the poor animals that have been abused and victimized because of cruel behavior. They ask you to donate money to help these animals recover. What if when these animals do recover they were turned into Service animals. This is a matter of great concern in our community because we could help get most, if not all the animals adopted into a loving home. In order to understand the issue more completely, I looked at turning shelter animals into service animals. Other members of my Group project are looking at TNR/Euthanasia, Physiological aspects of owning a shelter animal, and Worldwide

We are helping to shape a society that continuously improves the lives of animals,” as stated by ASPCA President and CEO, Matthew Bershadker. Just like my dog Tank brought so much joy and fulfillment to our lives, so has so many other animals from the ASPCA brought to the lives of others. It is evident that the ASPCA is an organization that all should support considering the fact that it fills the void of both the animals and the families whom are welcoming them into their hearts and homes. Although individuals say substandard comments about the ASPCA organization, there are hard facts that prove otherwise. For example, people often claim that the ASPCA is a kill center, where many animals are euthanized for no apparent reason whatsoever; however, this is not the case. Animals are only euthanized when they are violent and pose a threat to others (Position Statement on Euthanasia,

When Mary Ray of Woodbury, Minnesota unexpectedly passed away at her home during the winter of 2012, the last thing she would have expected was that her beloved perfectly healthy, young pet cat would be euthanized by the Woodbury Humane Society shelter instead of being sent to the home she had detailed in a note posted on her refrigerator. In retrospect, this would not have happened if the Woodbury Humane Society shelter had adopted the new and growing trend of “no-kill” philosophy for animal shelters, which simply stated, is an operating philosophy for a shelter that is based upon the premise that no healthy adoptable animal should be euthanized for any reason and that they should be sheltered until they find a loving home. The number of

The final issue is that animal shelters that have been labeled as high-kill due to the rates of animals they euthanize, are being passed up by adopters. The communities

Well, luckily, there are shelters in different places that help animals that aren’t able to take care of themselves. Did you know that every year 3.3 million dogs and 3.2 million cats enter animal shelters in U.S.? If you think that figure was huge, now imagine around 1.5 million of them are being euthanized every year because the shelter doesn’t have enough money or volunteers (ASPCA) to take care of them. However, this number can be significantly reduced if we start to make a change. With my speech, I would like to persuade you to from now on look for pets in a shelter instead of a pet store. In order to do this, I will provide information about the differences between shelters and pet stores, reasons to adopt a pet, and how to do it.

Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in pursuit of ending such criminal means, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the horrific crimes of animal deaths in shelters. It is no secret that this world has become infused with problems that have extended from one side of the globe to the other. Amongst these problems lies a terrible truth: nearly every year, sums of almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these vast numbers, half will be

Nationally, roughly four million animals are killed in shelters every year. Of these, roughly 95% of all shelter animals are healthy and treatable. (No Kill Advocacy Center). No animal should have to ever be a part of these awful statistics. What will it take to help save these innocent animals from being killed senselessly? Animal kill shelters are horrible, inhumane, and overall completely unnecessary for multiple reasons: No Kill shelters improve adoption rates, all animals lives are valuable, and No Kill shelters save more money than other shelters.

Animal shelters put their animals to sleep because there are so many animals given to them. Sometimes, when people are given animals as gifts, they don't want them and drop them off at the local pound. Puppies and kittens are often adopted young and adorable. After a while, superficial pet owners decide that their pets have overstayed their welcome or have outgrown their cuteness and decide to get rid of them. As a result, the shelters become overcrowded with older animals and must euthanize the animals that have been there for a while to make room for new animals that have more of a chance at being adopted. It is a system that must be abolished, as

Many may ask, why waste a valuable life? Why kill when you can just save them and adopt? Animals deserve the chance to live just like any person in this world does. Over the past 20 years, animal shelter communities in the United States has been grappling with the overpopulation problem of domestic animals (Rowan). Nationally, around four million animals are killed in animal shelters each year. Of the animals killed, roughly 95% of the shelters animals and treatable and healthy (Winograd). Each year between two to four million animals are euthanized (Winograd). Normally these animals are domestic such as dogs, cats, horses, and so on. Most people like to believe that the animals are being put down because an incurable disease but that is far from the truth. You have to take in account those who are euthanized because there are not enough homes or space to

At this point, I know the mission, vision, and values of my nonprofit, the current situation that I am in, and the priorities and strategies that I have set for the rescue. As I now write the plan for the rescue, I must consider and evaluate the specific goals and objectives both long-term and short-term. The objectives meet the need/unrealized opportunities set for the nonprofit rescue. The first objective is to increase the community awareness of adopting, spaying, and neutering. This is important because many people are unfamiliar with the benefits of spaying and neutering their pets as well as turning to adoption instead over buying from a breeder. There are plenty of homeless animals in need of a home, which is why adoption should always

Each year, 3-4 million animals are euthanized in shelters. That means every 7 seconds an animal is euthanized (Paws). Most of these animals are healthy, young, and adoptable. Each day 10,000 humans are born in the US, and 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. That represents and human to 15 dogs and 45 cats. As long as that ratio exist, there will never be enough homes for all these animals. The sad reality for the majority of the companion animals that end up in shelters is that the final act of kindness they will experience is a gentle hand ending their life. The number of strays living in the US is 70 Million. The number of animals that die each year from cruelty, neglect, and exploitation, 30 Million. There are 4,000-6,000 animal shelters in the US and the number of animals that enter those shelters each year is 6-8 Million (Oxford Pets). 5 in 10 dogs and 7 in 10 cats in shelters are euthanized simply because there is no one to adopt them.
