that more animals in the United States are being euthanized every day due to the fact of overpopulation of animals, serious injury or diseases, puppy mills and natural disasters. According to the Humane Society of the United States, they estimated that in 2013, animal shelters care for about six to eight million dogs and cats every year, of this approximately three to four million are euthanized (Pet Overpopulation). This stated would mean that about one animal every eight seconds is euthanized a day
Stray animals and pet overpopulation is a serious problem in today’s society. III. Relevance: Every person in this room will either own or come in contact with an animal. We need to know how we can keep our own animals from contributing to the problem and other ways we can help solve it. IV.

single dog has the potential of making a good house pet and becoming an important part of an owner’s life. Most dogs that are being euthanized each year are not even suffering from any illnesses and are not aggressive either. They are just unlucky. The reasoning that is given by these shelters committing these vile acts is that there is an overpopulation of dogs in their shelters and not enough homes for all of them so they have no choice. The problem with this picture is the fact that many of these
thousands of animals are hunted every year in their natural habitats. Due to animal overpopulation, more than 2.3 million pets are killed in shelters every year in the U.S. Driven by the pressure coming from government officials, people in charge of animal shelters decided that killing pets when their shelters reach it is limit capacity was the best solution to decrease overpopulation. Notwithstanding, not only pets in animal shelters die every year, but also animals hunted in their natural habitats

Careless breeding creates health and behavioral defects as well as overpopulation. The negative consequences of irresponsible breeding should not only become more mainstream, but also more carefully regulated, which results in the stopping of the practice.

effect relationship: Pet ownership The effects of pet ownership have been shown to be beneficial for humans as well as animals in need of a home. People purchase pets for a variety of reasons, spanning from a need to get more exercise, a desire for companionship, to a desire for unconditional love.

A large number usually turn out to be the result of deliberate and irresponsible home breeding. These people are known as "back-yard
help. Animals are like humans except they can’t tell people to stop.” Animal cruelty and abuse, a good website, said that. I think that is a big problem we need to fix. People hurting animals just because they can’t speak out for themselves. Some people take advantage of that. And it us up to humans to tell those people to stop. Animal abuse is a very serious matter and it happens all over the world. It is important because it is wrong to make any other creatures feel pain, and most often the people
because of inattentive pet proprietorship and uncontrolled breeding of animals. People often get pets without a full understanding of the time, money, and space that they require. Regrettably, that recurrently results in pets being abandoned or abused by these owners.

example; this is an invasive species problem that is currently occurring in the United States. The cane toad (Rhinella marina), is a species that is native to South America, Central America, Mexico, and southwestern Texas. The cane toad began to become introduced in Florida, Hawaii, and even Louisiana. Originally, they were let out around sugar cane plantations in order to eliminate pests that ate the cane. Eventually they “escaped” and people began to keep them as pets and in their backyards. The cane
