Pitbull Animal Abuse

Cold concrete floors. Metal fences for walls. Fed once, maybe twice, a day. Constant noise. This is the reality of many shelter animals. Scared and alone. Some don’t even get the luxury of a fenced in slab of concrete, some just get wire cages. Shelters are running out of room. We have too many animals, plain and simple. And do you realize what many shelters have to resort to for this population problem? Euthanization. Those “kill shelters” that everyone boycotts, they only exist because we have too many stray animals. There are so many pitbulls, mutts, and mixes, that they outnumber the people that actually want them. Some measures have been put into place to help decrease the number of strays like the spay and neuter projects. But this takes

Have you ever heard about a TV show called Pit Bulls and Parolees on Animal Planet? The show is about a woman named Tia Torres and her family that have come together to advocate for pit bulls. Tia Torres is the owner of the Villalobos ranch where she rescues pit bulls and parolees and re-educates both to be better for society. Some people believe that the dogs and the people are un-trainable and not worth the time to re-educate them. Ms. Torres is using the media to help the dogs and parolees so that people get a better idea of what it takes to re-train a dog and to help parolees to try and get a better chance of retuning to a better life. There are still people that have the misconception that the dogs are bad because of their breed and

Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals get euthanized. 1.5 million innocent animals die each year because we can’t provide a home for them. With all of these animals in shelters we still breed more animals. Breeding animals, the lack of getting your animal fixed, and shelters that are not no kill shelters lead to animals getting euthanized.

Every year 7,600,00 animals enter the shelter, and of those animals approximately 2,700,000 are euthanized. These numbers were shocking to me; I thought that no kill shelters were on the rise and I wondered with a heavy heart why so many healthy animals were still euthanized each year. In lecture and through further

Although many shelters claim that a lot of the animals they put down are unadoptable animals. Animals such as overly aggressive, harmful animals, and wildly behaved as well. However, a ton of those animals have had truamatizing experiences leading them to act the way they do. On the other hand, many of them were trained to fight. Therefore, if the animals arent able to be adopted they should be able to live the final years of their lives with no stress in a home, and with no

Did you know at least 7,000 animals are euthanized each year? Dogs, cats, and many other pets are abandoned every day. Animal shelters take in over 100 pets every day and have to euthanize twice as many the next. How can we minimize the amount of animals being euthanized? The overcrowded animal shelters and the constant euthanasia can be prevented by creating bigger facilities, spaying and neutering pets, and advertising adoption day more effectively.

The public views shelters with a no-kill policy as more humane or civilized; however, this is not always the case. A no-kill shelter probably started as a wonderful idea, but was soon turned into a very bad thing. The idea of a no-kill shelter is that any animals that is well-tempered enough or healthy enough to be adopted out, would be. The negative aspect of no-kill shelters is that once they run out of room to place the animals, a few things start happening. When shelters are filled to capacity, they are forced to turn away animals in need. These animals that are turned away are left on the streets or in the hand or irresponsible owners who cannot properly take

There are a significant number of amazing animals available for adoption, many of whom are held in shelters, which desperately seek forever homes. Sue Pethick corroborates this point by stating, “The humane society had plenty of healthy, adoptable dogs” (192). Consequently, one of the most fulfilling reasons for animal adoption is reducing the exorbitantly high euthanasia rates. According to Vegetarian Times, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals reported that approximately 7.6 million animals exist in shelters; of those, 2.7 million each were adopted and euthanized (Barley 48). Upon further examination, felines were euthanized at a rate of 41% while dogs were put to death at a rate of 31% (Barley 48). However, the future does not have to remain bleak

“The reality is that all shelters, regardless of label, euthanize or send pets out to be euthanized.” All pets have the right to live even if their owner returned them. Kill shelters are not the best place to send your pets off to. Many people do feel sad about pets and other animals who get euthanized even if they are not theirs. Animals have made a big impact on many people, so why don’t people make a great impact on them too?

According to Sarah Knapton, “humans love their dogs in the same way they do their children, and the feeling is mutual.” Everyone loves dogs, dogs can even be a person’s best friend. With seeing dogs in a crowed shelters and dogs getting euthanized is sad. The issue with regular animal shelters is they must accept, or choose to accept, any and all companion animal’s regardless health, temperament, or space available, with no limitation. As no kill shelters accept animals on a voluntary or space available basis, a no kill shelter does not euthanize animals who can be adopted or when the shelter is full, reserving euthanasia for animals who are terminally ill or considered dangerous (Heinz).

Each year 670,000 dogs are euthanized in shelters. If a dog is sick most of the time the shelter cannot afford vet fees, or

This would be better not only for the animals but for the workers, they would not have to be around harmful chemicals or live with the guilt of killing an innocent animal.About 4.9 million animals are saved each year from euthanization, these animals are the lucky one who have another chance of life but if the euthanization continues who knows if they are guaranteed the same chance the following year.Everyday animals are being robbed of the chance of being adopted because the shelters are taking their lives.Euthanizing animals is an inhumane act that is expensive and can be done

You probably want some story with action and adventure. Truth is, this story isn’t much. It’s about a day back in 6th grade,cold,dark, and bitter. We went to my aunt’s house while my parents stood home.

    To begin with, the United States needs animals shelters to prevent overcrowding. Over crowding can possibly come from neglectful pet ownership. Pets, regardless of size, are a huge responsibility. For example, my older sister, Valeri, bought my niece a kitten for her fifth birthday. Aubrey’s eyes opened as wide as the sun; clearly she was ecstatic. Immediately, she fell in love with the gray ball of fluff and called him Pete. At first, Pete was the perfect pet. He slept most of the day, and when he was awake, he tossed around his tiny toys contently. As he grew, his energy
