“Animals Make Us Human” is a book written by Temple Grandin. I read one chapter of the book, the chapter I read was called “Cats”. This chapter has many different sections and each of them focus on cats but, they all explain different topics about cats. Also, throughout the chapter she compares cats to different animals, mostly dogs. In the first section, the introduction, Temple Grandin begins by talking about cat’s behavior and emotions. She then goes on and explains the domestication of cats…
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…
and all of their offspring, producing 2 litters per year, with 2.8 surviving kittens per year can total 11,606,077 kittens in 9 years Wouldn’t it be great to see all the animals happy and just a few being in a shelter? Help today by spaying and neutering your pets. Some people don’t want to because they want puppies around their house. By adopting a puppy from the shelter is even more help. So remember to spay and neuter your pets. It will also help the environment by reducing the…
ubiquitous neutering of the English language across the country, both spoken and written. McFadden brings to light the issues that arise, as oppose to lessen, when gender-specific components are removed. I found myself in agreement with the author on many, if not all, of the points addressed within the article. To disassemble the English language—both written and spoken—and then re-manufacture it to be genderless only muddles our already languid dialect. All good intentions aside, gender…
different problems, such as many animals being put to sleep, inbreeding which can cause congenital defects in their offspring, overcrowding of animal shelters, and many other problems. The most common statement people make regarding spaying or neutering is, "I can't afford it, it's too expensive!". If you can't afford to spay or neuter your pet, then perhaps owning a pet is not for you. Pets need lots of…
male pet is slightly different than spaying. For male cats, “one or two incisions can be made, usually just enough to slide the testes through” (The Vet House 1). The first step to neutering a dog is a “large incision is usually made, and the testes are pushed up to be removed” (The Vet House 1). To complete the neutering process for both cats and dogs, the Incision is closed with sutures” (The Vet House…
surprise me in the future of all females and it is only going to take one female and that is all it is going to take to ask ; Where is the Male Chivalry and / or the gentlemen 's courtesy gone too in this country? Even though being a sexist author, neutering of language when it comes to gender and being old fashion and I still am a believer in male chivalry and gender separation. Knowing a little…
Some of these ways can potentially have a negative effect on your cat, so achieving weight loss properly is the key. Energy reduction post neutering should be that weight loss is achieved, but there is no loss of lean muscle mass. If the level of energy restriction is too severe there will be rapid weight loss, however there will also be a significant loss of lean body mass (Butterwick, 2113S)…
However, over 3.1 million dogs are in shelters, and nearly 3 million are homeless (ASPCA 2). Dog overpopulation is a major problem in the United States, leading to the euthanization of many beloved pets, this problem can be solved by spaying or neutering dogs and banning puppy mills. Many dogs are unable to enter shelters, leaving them homeless and forced to fend for themselves. Dog overpopulation has resulted in many homeless dogs, without owners to care for, feed, or monitor their health.…
stop teen pregnancies. This idea might sound crazy but I have good intentions. When teenage boys enter puberty they will be neutered by veterinarians. Veterinarians say that this will be a quick inexpensive surgery that will fix teen pregnancy. By neutering teenage boys you have solved the problem of teen pregnancy. Girls will not be able to get pregnant when they have sex. This will eliminate the need for condoms. By eliminating the need for condoms it will lower the latex being used in…
