When People Should Not Breed Their Animals

Decent Essays
A belief that I am very familiar with is when people buy, adopt, or breed their animals when they do not have the means to take care of them, or just do not care to take care of them. This is one of those things that I cannot get over. People are just so ignorant to the time, money, and care that goes into having an animal. All these people see are a cute face when they're little and then when the animal grows up they don't think about the needs and costs an animal has. I get that some people want to have a companion and a pet to be there, but why let the animal suffer just because you want a pet? You know how everyone has something that they disagree with and just gets on their nerves beyond belief? Well when people buy,adopt, or breed animals and they do not have the …show more content…
Animals, especially dogs and cats, need veterinarian check ups throughout the year to make sure that they are healthy and have a good value of life. Animals need multiple vaccines throughout their lives to maintain their health and when people do not have the money to vaccinate their pets they become more susceptible to different illnesses. Also, dogs and cats need flea and tick medicine to fight off the insects and when the owner doesn't have the money to buy these medications the animals can get lyme disease from ticks and infections from the fleas that decrease their value of life. When an animal is suffering because you are not financially stable enough to take care of them like they should be taken care of, then animal should be given up to someone who can take care of them in my opinion. Even if you really do love the animal if they are not being cared for like they should you should do what’s best for the animal and give them

    According to Peter Fenton, writer and loving pet owner, author of “Vets Are Too Expensive, and it’s Putting Pets at Risk”, veterinarians intend to find out how much profit they can make off of the love owners have for their pets. Fenton argues veterinarians are using the love of pet owners for their own benefit, while leaving those in questionable financial situations without any veterinary care at all. Fenton delivers a convincing argument supported with data and emotional appeals, but his failure to adequately consider opposing facts and credible opinion calls into question not only his conclusion, but the logic of his argument.…

    How would you feel if you were taken away from your home, taken away from your family, for the enjoyment of others? How would you feel if you were left in a tiny box with very little food? This is how we treat animals for our own personal and selfish benefit. Human benefit should never overrule any damage or destruction to these innocent animals. You may ask, what have humans done in the past and present to hurt animals?…

    The dispute is animals do not have the ability to care or have any honorable judgement as we do. In 2015, ASPCA came out with facts showing an estimate of 70-80 million dogs and 74-96 million cats are owned in the United States. These results exclude other household pets such as: horses, snakes, hamsters, and birds (ASPCA). However, these animals are household pets. A household pet is a domestic or tamed animal kept for companionship or pleasure and treated with care.…

    For many activists, it is hard to understand how inhumane it is to keep some animals as pets. “Animals,” as one activist says it, “are not here for our happiness.” While there is a substantial difference in how we raise animals (within terms of stray, wild, and domestic animals), there is no say in the animals life on how they should be treated. Finally, he seems to indirectly state some of the obvious logic that we are superior and it is only the way of life that we eat meat and research on animals to make life a little easier. It is possible that we can cure cancer or find a way to stop infestations, or even cause breeding to increase, which could increase the amount food…

    The pet overpopulation problem in the United States is sickening to me as a human being. We allow people to profit from the breeding of their pets when there are too many animals being euthanized every day in shelters. Animals in our shelters are fighting for their lives every single day, and yet we are allowing breeders and puppy mills to continue to produce more and more animals. Pet ownership is not a right. Pet owners have a responsibility to leash their animals, dispose of their waste properly and to spay or neuter their animals.…

    Bought and forgotten, tossed like someone’s garbage, brutally beaten or a frail body so weak from starvation. Animals, like humans, are made of flesh and blood. They do feel pain, do cry, do starve and do need love and protection. To some people, abusing animals doesn’t strike them as a true crime, many believe it’s just a stupid animal. Animal abuse is a crime and should not be tolerated no matter how bold or transparent it is.…

    Can you imagine life without having pets or not having a companion with you to make you feel better when you 're upset or sick? Imagine if you raised a dog since birth and took care of it as if it was your own child and one day animal control just takes them away because of the type of breed they are. For years there has been a stereotype on pit bulls,stories about them attacking people,and even now there are many myths about them that are not true. For example, according to the article “ Pit bulls Myths” it mentions one of the many myths such as “pit bulls don 't feel pain” and it states that “ Pit Bulls have the same nervous system of any other breed, and they can and do feel pain.”…

    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…

    Many people concern on what is right and wrong for animal treatment. These arguments are a major issue because many different views and beliefs of people reflect on them. Manly fighting and understanding who has the right over animals is the major concept. Since animals can not speak and choose for their own actions, many people believe that a truthful owner should have the say on what is right for their animal through their beliefs. No matter what regulations are set both sides of the argument will never be satisfied on how humans treat animals.…
