Have you ever seen an animal in in the streets needing a home or even been roadkill? It's hard for some people to see animals suffer because others couldn't be committed enough to take care of them. Animals are living things they do feel emotional and physical pain, they do things we do, they survive in a wretched world where you are bound to kill or be killed. Maybe one day let's say scrappy pas a pup has a home but then he gets big and he eats more he uses the bathroom more he needs more attention so then he has to go so his supposed caretaker just lets him wander he no longer has a home because his caretaker could not be responsible or committed enough to care for him.

... placed in shelters, there are less available spots for new, incoming animals. When there is no place for the animals, shelters have to put different pets to sleep. They might choose the new animals coming in, but they typically choose the animals that have been there the longest.
We consider our animals like our family. Even if the animal does not belong to us, we always try to feed them and help them when they are in need. The Walls family doesn’t even take care of their own pets that they have had for a long time. They abused their animals, and today there are laws that could get them fined or arrested. "61-8-19. Cruelty to animals; penalties; exclusions. (a) (1) It is unlawful for any person to intentionally, knowingly or recklessly, (A) Mistreat an animal in cruel manner; (B) Abandon an animal; (C) Withhold; (i) Proper sustenance, including food or water; (ii) Shelter that protects from the elements of weather; or (iii) Medical treatment, necessary to sustain normal health and fitness or to end the suffering of any animal; (D) Abandon an animal to die; (E) Leave an animal unattended and confined in a motor vehicle when physical injury to or death of the animal is likely to result; (F) Ride an animal when it is physically unfit; (G) Bait or harass an animal for the purpose of making it perform for a person 's amusement; (H) Cruelly chain or tether an animal; or (I) Use, train or possess a domesticated animal for the purpose of seizing, detaining or maltreating any other domesticated animal."

Animal hoarding is a very common issue, and is not being reported the way that it should be. These situations need to stop being overlooked and dealt with correctly, not only to save the animals’ lives, but to keep the owner and their family in wellbeing. Animals are very important and should be taken care of very well. When they are put into a hoarding situation they cannot go out and get the help that they need. We need to be their voice and speak up for them.
It's crazy how they will put an animal down for not having a home or attacking a human being. Do we give animals a choice in their lives? No, we do not, we just do what we think is best for that animal. Many people fail to realize a lot of things. They always say if it was me, I wouldn’t want that for myself.
Stay Animals suffer on the street, and only a small portion of them are rescued
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 7.6 million companion pets enter animal shelters across the United States each year, nearly evenly disrupted between dogs and cats . These animals are abandoned for reasons including families no longer being able to care for them (sickness/death of an owner), to families not wanting them (the novelty wearing of the animal wearing off), to the animals being born into puppy mills to finally animals that are loved being lost from their owners. These animals do not understand what is happening to them and rely on the kindness of humans to provide for them in shelters until their forever home can be found.
A harmless visit to the neighborhood pet store turns into a ruthless encounter for me. Every Saturday, Pecan (my dog) and I visit a local pet store to purchase food and treats for her. Pecan and I pass by a dozen of shelter volunteers eagerly showcasing homeless dogs before entering the pet store. Shelter volunteers are special because they are willing to devote their Saturday morning to help homeless pets. On the way I stop and great each volunteer and dog, then I walk away emotionally grieving and trying to holding back tears. My sadness soon turns into anger, when I realize I cannot adopt every homeless pet. The pet population is a increasing crisis in America. In this essay I will discuss the cause and effect of homeless pets, I will begin by explain the anatomy that contributes to pet overpopulation, then I will discuss the consequences encompassing animal breeding, then I will examine the social stance that effects pets, lastly I will conclude by suggesting solutions.
“There can be many reason for animal cruelty, like any other form of violence, is often committed by a person who feels powerless, unnoticed, or under control of others. Some who are cruel to animals copy acts what they have seen or that have been done to them, others see harming an animal as a safe way to get revenge against--or threaten-- someone who cares about that animal”. (“Animal… Statistics”) Concerns towards abusing animals have gone up in the past. Although there are not many cases on animal abuse, many have occurred. Abusers are charged with Criminal Animal Abuse and then sentenced to life in prison. Some animals that are physically abused are sometimes rescued by Animal Control, and are taken it to an animal shelter. However, many shelters have not had the space to keep the animals so the workers would have to put them down (Carol Roach). Researchers have shown that the main animals getting abused are dogs, chickens, horses, and livestock (“Animal...
Have you ever wondered, how it feels to be in a place where is overcrowded, and you are next in line to be euthanize? This is the life of the shelter animal when no one adopts them for a certain period of time. According to American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or known as ASPCA, each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are euthanized, which are 1.2 million dogs and 1.4 million cats. I am sure; most of you have some point in your life, owned a dog or a cat. Whether you are an animal lover or not, you don’t want to see innocent animals losing their lives. I personally have adopted a dog from a local shelter. There is no doubt that pet adoption from a shelter is a satisfying decision that will save innocent
The ugly truth is that animals are dying at the hands of their owners everyday, some in very violent ways that can be avoidable given the right solution. Slaughterhouses, puppy mills, dog fighting, and so on, are just a few examples of how animals are being treated badly by people. Animal cruelty is a form of violence which, un...
Across the world, homelessness is a big argument and topic being talked about. In today’s society, nobody knows whether to help the homeless or not. However, many people feel as if homelessness is an occupation/choice, but is it?! Homelessness is a very touchy topic/argument because there can be negatives and positives to it.
Homeless people are avoided by society. Some people think that they should be put into homes and some people think they shouldn’t be. There has been much research about how the homes help them with their future. Some think that the homeless are unlikely to succeed in homes. There is a strong belief that the homeless should have homes because it will help them feel a part of society and this would also help with their future and allow them to become a part of community.
These animals can come from places such as puppy mills, an establishment that breeds puppies for sale. Some dealers even go to the extent of baiting animals in from the streets with meat and sedatives, and others will pose as animal control officers. Flyers for “Lost pet” and “will give to good home” are responded by the wrong individuals. Some of these suffering animals were once pets that were loved and treated like family. To know that a family member is being treated unkindly and has to suffer for something they do not deserve is never desired (Peta).
One of the animals that people allow to suffer in the U.S. is dogs. Currently 36 states either allow or mandate that animal shelters be willing to release unwanted animals to laboratories for testing, and about 80% of the experiments performed on these animals are funded by citizen tax dollars. Communities that have actually done away with pound seizures have actually shown that their pet shelters are able to place more pets in homes as well as having to euthanize fewer animals because of the increased confidence in the shelter. Some ways to help prevent this from happening to your pets are: Don’t let your pet run around unsupervised, keep an ID on your pets so that you can find them faster if they become lost, and to make provisions in your will for your pets to keep them from falling into poor conditions. Another side to the abuse of dogs is the use of puppy mills. These are buildings where puppies are bred to be sold in pet shops, but have to live in poor conditions before being sold. These dogs are housed in cramped and unsanitary cages, and have to deal ...
