Pet Owners For A Kennel License

The myth of pet overpopulation is a huge campaign that’s considered truth nationwide. The National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA) explains this myth and why it’s used. Activists use the myth to put all blame of animal shelter death on breeders. Radical groups perpetuate this myth by making breeding restrictions. This myth is the biggest cause of euthanizing healthy, adoptable animals. Per year, about 3.1 million dogs are adopted while 2.1 million are euthanized. However, this number for euthanized dogs is not broken down by reasoning for euthanization. Overpopulation propagandists often claims this number reaches over 6 million each year. While shelters heavily euthanize adoptable dogs and breeders increasingly use puppy mills, each area across

The purpose of this proposal is to make aware of a large problem the city is facing due to pet over-population and how to resolve without taking the lives of these domesticated animals due to flaws in our laws, community out-reach, and lack of information out there to help pet owners spread across our city. The problem facing our city is that shelters are filled to capacity everyday with the majority being lost or stray animals and the only resolutions would be to either put down close to 100 animals a day or once in a while collaborate with rescues to send then out to other states in need of adoptable animals. However, the solution is right in front of us. By working with local rescues, animals wouldn’t need to be sacrificed and with proper information and assistance with spay/neuter programs, unwanted pets would be prevented, lowering the need for euthanizing.

Irresponsibility and lack of knowledge on the part of people buying pets is a huge problem. You need to know about the animals that are waiting in shelters and avoid buying our new pet. These are some shocking statistics about dogs and cats in the US.

Later, most will end up "Testing Out" a different type of pet. The vast majority of people, who adopt a puppy or kitten, do not keep the animal for life. If this were to turn around and most people were to actually keep their pets through the good times and the bad, as they do their own children, the demand for these animals would go down. With less of a demand, breeders would not breed as many litters. Breeders are only breeding as many litters as they do, because people are buying them. The demand for a cute little puppy or kitten is great, because people do not keep the animal for life. Animals are recycled. If a breeder had a litter and could not sell the puppies, they would not keep having litter after litter. People are buying them, so breeders are breeding them. In a perfect world, breeders would breed less and force people to adopt from an animal rescue, but this is not a perfect world. The solution lies with the general public educating themselves, supply and demand, that's the solution. Lessen the demand and the supply will, on its own, lessen. The power lies within each and every one of us. Scripted by Kim Sturla (of the San Mateo ordinance fame) and her continual cross-country junketing preaching her message: "The problem is simple: we have too many dogs and cats. Too many for too few homes."

According to the The Humane Society of the United States roughly six-million animals are handled by shelters and clinics every year; though, only four million are adopted or claimed . The other two million animals are left in these shelters until they die or are subjected to cruel practices of euthanasia. There are simply too many animals and not enough people who are open to adoption. The animal overpopulation crisis and euthanasia cruelty can be prevented by an approach called animal birth control and adopting.

As stated previously, homeless animals in America do not have enough loving homes to go around. While not all these alternative sources of pets are necessarily bad, they remain a factor keeping so many of the 6.5 million dogs and cats entering shelters out of homes by taking spots away (‘Companion Animal Overpopulation”). Furthermore, despite the existence of reputable breeders and pet stores, numerous places like these actually locate their animals from puppy mills. Puppy mills churn out dogs quickly by keeping their animals in inhumane conditions, and when dogs are deemed no longer profitable, they can be abandoned or killed, helping to contribute to the surplus of unwanted animals (“Top Reasons to Adopt a

Did you know about 25 million puppies and kittens are born into the United States each year? That’s more than 50,000 born each day in this country alone. Twenty five million pets produce yearly greatly exceeds the amount of willing families to take care of these animals that are born into the world. Even though, these massive amount of litters may in fact be completely healthy there is just not a sufficient enough of homes for this animals to be place in. statically reported by the humane society of the united states in October 2011 6 to 8 million animals who have no place to call their home are put into animal shelters. Unfortunately, due to the excessive surplus of these animals about half which is 3 to 4 million only make it out alive. The other half left to be euthanize by the shelter to make room for the new incoming animals. This turns out to be one animal euthanize every 8 sec. Pet overpopulation has been a serious problem throughout the nation for many years. The on ongoing cycle of bring unwanted litters of pets into the world makes it extremely difficult to reduce the amount of animals being euthanize across the nation each and every day. It’s important for people to understand the need to spay and neuter their family’s pets and all pets in general, all though people don’t understand that need its extremely important to take into account that these thousands of wanted any unneeded animals being born into the world each day will statically end up homeless, place in

The statistics are outrageous when it comes to the number of abandoned and neglected animals that are homeless or have to live out their lives in shelters all because owners take it upon themselves not to have their furry friends operated on. An estimated 11,000 pets in this country are euthanized daily, according to a Pet Smart Charities study—that’s half of the 8 million pets that land in shelters each year. Not all of these pets start out homeless. Half of U.S. pet owners who’ve had a pregnant dog or cat say the pregnancy happened “by accident,” according to statistics from the study (NAPS). This is only the number of unwanted animals that are actually caught; let us not forget about the feral animals on the street.

Population Control: Help control the U.S. pet population with spay and neuter services. The Humane Society notes an estimated 6 to 8 million homeless animals enter U.S. shelters every year, with less than half of these pets adopted and the rest euthanized.

Results from a nationally conducted survey show that ninety-six percent of Americans agree that society carries the obligation of caring for and protecting animal companions (“Dollars and Sense” 2). This public outcry for better pet treatment applies to Ohioans as well; the movement’s increasing popularity brings up the question of whether or not shelters in Ohio should adopt a no-kill policy or stand by the old euthanasia philosophy. Supporters of kill shelters complain that the alternative overwhelmingly relies on external funds and volunteers and could become overpopulated with pets. In contrast, proponents of the no-kill policy argue that it is more humane than its opponent, employing methods such as neutering,. foster care, and adoption

Another simple solution to help the ongoing pet overpopulation is education. Being aware of where your pet actually came from is the first step. Do not be afraid to ask questions about your pet's background. Know the breeder's history and reputation. Are they local or out of state? Towell states that “Each year, millions of lost and unwanted dogs and cats end up at animal shelters across the U.S. Half of those animals must be euthanized because of simple math: There are too many animals and not enough good homes”. (Lisa Towell). Simply by adoption from a shelter rather than a breeder can help this problem. Animal shelters are overcrowded leading to euthanasia “Overcrowding may lead to single housing of animals to minimize animal contact

Furthermore, it brings people together to bond with animals and each other, enhancing the community. Education and awareness can go a long way to solving most problems and dog rescue is no exception. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), approximately 7.6 million companion animals are admitted into shelters in the United States every year; 3.9 million are dogs, of which 1.2 million are euthanized and only 1.4 million are adopted (the numbers for cats are very similar). That works out to nearly a 35% adoption rate, 41% rate of euthanization, and 26% are strays returned to their homes. Two times the number of dogs come into shelters as strays as opposed to being surrendered by their owners. There are several reasons people surrender their dogs; per the American Humane Association, 29% are surrendered because people live in or move to homes that do not allow pets, while reasons such as a lack of adequate time to care for the animal, divorce and death, and behavior issues make up 10% apiece (with various other issues occupying the remainder). There are 70-80 million dogs owned in the United States which works out to around 37-47% of households; 28% of dogs come from breeders while 29% are adopted from shelters and most of those are through friends and acquaintances. Per the American Veterinary Medicine Association roughly 40% of pet owners find their pets by referrals from various sources. Around 13,600 independent animal shelters operate nationwide employing such monikers as “humane society” and “SPCA,” but those organizations are not affiliated with the ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States. Its impossible to determine the number of stray dogs every year, but statistically the average female has one litter (four to six puppies) each year of fertility. Many end up as strays; a lot of

Almost everyone wants to own their own pets, but not everyone goes the right way to own one. Millions of pets around the world in shelters are being put down due to no one wanting to adopt them. Over the years, adoption has been promoted as a better option instead of buying pets, nevertheless, people still buys over adoption. The reason is probably because people do not the benefits of adoption and the harm it causes to buying pets.

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

I think they should be able to keep the dogs because you never know might happen to them. Well dogs should pick who they want to own them. Dogs are smart they know who they want to be with like the dog in Call of duty wants to go back to his owner.He never wants to leave his side because he thinks he is his owner. And the dog loves him very much.The dog is always there for his owner and a owner is always there for his dog. Have ever heard the old saying a dog never betrays its pack? I have millions of times.
