animals are killed in shelters every year. Of these, roughly 95% of all shelter animals are healthy and treatable. (No Kill Advocacy Center). No animal should have to ever be a part of these awful statistics. What will it take to help save these innocent animals from being killed senselessly? Animal kill shelters are horrible, inhumane, and overall completely unnecessary for multiple reasons: No Kill shelters improve adoption rates, all animals lives are valuable, and No Kill shelters save more money
neglectful owners are usually found and taken to a nearby animal shelter. These shelters are set up and designed for stray animals to be taken care of until a new owner can be found. Shelters also graciously accept pets from owners who choose to surrender their animals, and are re-homed by the shelter. Some of these shelters have what is known as a no-kill policy, which states that any animal fit to be adopted out, will be. Other shelters do not have this policy, and will euthanize a healthy animal for

to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (2016), nearly 4 million dogs enter animal shelters in the United States every year. Just over one third of these dogs are adopted to new homes and another quarter of the shelter dogs that were brought in as strays are returned to their owners. On the other hand, virtually the same number of dogs that are adopted from shelters are euthanized. The American Humane Association (2012) confirms that the majority of owners who surrender their
Choosing to adopt from no-kill shelter rather than a kill shelter simply because they do not support the assisted killing of healthy animals only proves an opposition of direct killing of an animal. Any animal shelters purpose is to save lives, with the right amount of funding, initiative programs, and partnerships any shelter can cross the line draw at 90% and become a no-kill shelter. The true difference between a no-kill and a kill shelter is having the moral responsibility to not allow the needless
One of the many problems that we seem to be having is the amount of No Kill Shelters in America. No kill Shelters are shelters in which the animals there are not treated like the “pound” or “dog house.” These shelters do not kill healthy or treatable animals and even if they are not treatable they reserve euthanasia for them as the last resort to trying to save the animals. However, many understand that these some of these dogs can be a menace to society, but every single animal should be able
checked into shelters each year. Out of this 6-8 million, 3-4 million of these animals are euthanized due to the over population of animals. Animal euthanizing in shelters need to come to an end. Shelters are there to help people find their lost pets or give lost pets a new loving home, not to kill healthy animals that still have life left. A few ways to help end this is to make it a law to have animals spayed or neutered, to tax citizens to help fund shelters, or to have no cage shelters that are funded
on the streets. They seek food and shelter in communities and they are sometimes seen as a nuisance and health hazard by the people who live along them. Research shows that around 2.7 million cats and dogs are put down each year which is approximately one every 11 seconds. Often most of these animals are beloved and adoptable pets. “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself (Josh Billing)”. The main reasons animals end up in shelter is because owners give them up, or
Animal hoarding is an issue in every division of society around the world (Donaghey 2011). Whether rich or poor, there may still be an animal hoarder living right next door (Donaghey 2011). In some situations there may be obvious signs that a person is a hoarder; however, others live seemingly regular lives to the public eye and the problem is growing. Animal hoarding is a growing problem because of the lack of understanding of the issue and lack of action. The general public has a lack of understanding
Having the job of the owner of a no-killing animal shelter is tough work. For one thing, within the job there are many duties that need to be on top of or done every day. When in this job, connections are a must for the health of the animals. Being an owner of a no kill animal shelter requires hard work, people skills, and connections with other pet clinics and hospitals. For starters an important part of this job is having the skills and the duties involved in this job. Skills are important to
People support no-kill animal shelters because of their philosophical standpoint regarding overpopulation problems, euthanasia usage, and reputation issues. SICSA, a no-kill shelter, seeks to combat overpopulation by offering spay and neuter services at its shelters. Each year, SICSA spays and neuters over three thousand animals, which demonstrates its compassion and intention to help prevent animal overpopulation without killing the creatures (Jewell and Baxla). Also, in 1999, shelters in Utah euthanized
so why kill them? Rescue shelters shouldn't kill animals because no animal deserves to die, many animals are killed each year for no reason, and animal lives mean just as much as human lives after all they are considered are friends. There are many trusted websites you can go on and see that most of these new shelters are no-kill. With that being said we go onto our first topic. Animal shelters shouldn’t kill animals for no reason. Millions of animal shelters around the world kill animals
questions i asked myself while i was writing this speech. Imagine a world where all animals lived until they die a natural death. that world can not be a reality unless we completely get rid of pro kill pet shelters. many cities in america have completely wiped out the population of pro kill pet shelters and because of that the amount of animals euthanized has gone way down in the last couple of years. . l every year 1.7 million animals are euthanized in the us. there are only 3.2 million animals
dogs that are euthanized every year in shelters (Rescue Ink, 2013). Kill shelters all around the world have a catch and kill technique that is an easy and quick way to keep cities disease-free. Approximately 8-12 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year and approximately 5-9 million are euthanized, 60% of dogs and 70% of cats (Petfinder, 2003). We need to come up with solutions and ways that we can start reducing animal kill shelters around the world. It all comes down
into animal shelters. When an animal is suffering from illness and has no chance to survive, euthanize it may be the most humane thing to do. However, there are many animals shelters (kill shelters) in the United States that euthanized animals even the healthy ones to make more room and because they are low on money. Many people called this action “murder”. However, if you really think about it, kill animal shelters are actually more beneficial for animals than no-kill animal shelters would. It is
into its shelter. Of the 760 dogs taken into the shelter, 713 of them were killed, 19 were adopted and 36 were transferred to other shelters. Of the 1,211 cats taken into the shelter, 1,198 were euthanized, five were adopted, and eight were transferred to other shelters. Of the 58 other animals, such as rabbits, the PETA shelter had taken in, 54 of them were killed. Yet, this is not an isolated incident. Although PETA is often the first to rescue pets when tragic events take place, they kill 84 percent
it wasn’t supposed to do. Animal Shelters around the United States have abused and killed animals just because there wasn’t enough room in the shelter. Shelters around the United States get away with abusing animals and usually get off with a slap on the wrist. These acts are repulsive and it should be illegal to kill animals in the shelter just because there isn’t “enough room” to put them there. Animal cruelty can play a bigger role than just in the animal shelters. The influence of kids is one of
are euthanized in shelters(Pet 360). Volunteers have started a no-kill shelter movement to transport animals from other countries to America. Animals that are transported have an opportunity to start a new life. However, for some animals the transportation causes high stress levels, and anxiety. There are many negative effects of the movement that could be prevented. The no-kill shelter movement can spread disease, be considered animal hoarding, and cause animals at the shelter to not receive enough
cut short. Did you know that 7.6 million animals enter shelters every year? Of those animals, thirty one percent of dogs are euthanized and forty one percent of cats are euthanized. If you do the math, that is 2.4 million dogs and 3.1 million cats. Why are we doing this to our animals? They're living creatures just like us, even if they can't tell us. As you read this paper, you'll learn about what euthanization is, learn the reasons for shelters killing our furry friends, and get an inside look at
Do you want many dogs to die? In my opinion you don’t so we should stop shelters to euthanize them or kill them. Did you know that shelters often kill pets each day. It should be against the law to euthanize animals at shelters because it is inhuman, that most pet stores are supporting a puppy mill and just to make more money Reason 1 Animals shelters euthanize dogs or cats because they have no room. this is unacceptable because it said on ASPCA that “Each year, approximately 2.7 million
