Once his point is given through this story, Fenton dives into a series of statistics, data, and opinions stating how much medical care for pets has skyrocketed in the last decade, which, has caused some pet owners to opt out of giving their pets any medical attention at all. Although he briefly touches on the cause of the increase in veterinary costs, Fenton is quick to get back to the effect these increases have on loving pet…

    In the article “The Last Meow” published in The New Yorker in 2003 the author Burkhard Bilger states, “Americans now spend $19 billion a year on veterinary care for their pets, up from $11 billion just seven years ago. Add to that the cost of pet food and other supplies, and the number rises to $47 billion, nearly three times as much as the federal government spends on welfare grants.” Bilger claims, “clearly our love affair with animals has gotten out of control ( Part 8 para 49)”. There is no doubt that Americans spend a ridiculous amount of money on their beloved pets; money that could be spent improving their quality of their own life and the life of others. By defining the ridiculous and costly love affair Americans have developed with…

    Millions of tax dollars are spent annually to shelter and care for stray, abandoned and unwanted pets. Human health is threatened by the danger of transmittable diseases (including rabies), animal bites and attacks. Shelters do their best to place animals in loving homes, but the number of homeless animals far exceeds the number of willing adopters. This leaves many loving and healthy animals in our community that are homeless and abandoned. Spaying and neutering a larger population of animals is critical in helping our community to control the pet population and spread of…

    While buying purebred puppies can be a tempting and aesthetically desirable purchase, a majority of puppies bought from pet shops are directly from puppy mills. These puppy mills are known as large-scale commercial dog breeding facilities which give revenue priority over the well-being of the dogs and puppies, ultimately resulting in sickly and unhealthy animals. Due to this, many of the dogs that pet stores carry today have faced a life of malnutrition, disease, and abuse. Despite the immense abuse the dogs and puppies of the puppy mills endure, the large scale breeding of animals is still legal, forcing innocent animals to live in cruel conditions until they are ultimately moved to pet shops, or killed. Altogether, in order to protect the lives of innocent animals, puppy mills…

    POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS Agencies should encourage enactment and stringent enforcement of dangerous/vicious dog laws. When applicable, agencies should not hesitate to prosecute owners for murder, manslaughter, or similar violations resulting from their animal’s actions, and their owner lack of responsibility. Laws should clearly define “dangerous” or “vicious”, and provide for established penalties. Penalties may include fines, imprisonment, and/or the relinquishing of total privileges to pet ownership. If a dangerous/vicious animal is allowed to be kept, laws should specify methods of secure confinement and control.…

    According to the humane society (2016), 36.1 million households in the United States have a cat as a pet, with an average of 2.58 people per household, so thirty percent of Americans have a cat as a pet (“Pets By The Numbers”, 2016). If an animal shelter mistakes a pet cat for a stray cat or a feral cat, what should they do with them? Should they wait the five days and euthanize them, or should they give them a chance? Should they let the cat live, and if so what is the difference between a domestic cat and a feral cat? They are the same type of animal, so what causes a pet to be of more importance?…

    Topic: Adopting and Rescuing Animals Specific Purpose: To persuade my effective speaking class the benefits of adopting a pet over buying one from a breeder or pet store. Central Idea: Adopting animals and rescuing is much more beneficial than buying an animal from a pet store because you won’t be unknowingly or knowingly supporting a puppy mill, you will be saving an animal’s life, and you will feel better overall in the end about rescuing your new pet rather than buying. INTRODUCTION Attention-Getter: According to Humane Society of the United States organization’s website I accessed on December 6, 2016, “Each year, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States, simply because too many pets come into shelters and…
