Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to help abolish puppy mills by adopting and volunteering. Those no matter how big or small their efforts are, that can make a difference and help cease puppy mills and their perpetuation in our society. Method of Organization: Monroe’s motivated sequence, appealing to the question of value. Attention: Imagine this scenario: A little girl who has been shopping all day with her Mom at the mall. She has already used up the battery on her iPad , she is bored, grumpy an tired of going store to store with her Mom. When all of a sudden they turn the corner, the little girl’s eyes light up and she has a smile from ear to ear. No she did not see the Disney store or Build-a-Bear Workshop; but low and behold …show more content…
The little girl and Mom saved the puppy from the Puppy Shop, right? Yes, they did save that ONE puppy, but they only added to the fuel of the Puppy mill industry. They could have adopted the same breed of puppy at a local animal shelter or rescue. In fact, the Humane Society estimated that each year, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States, simply because too many pets come into shelters and too few people consider adoption when looking for a pet (2018). Making it very important to know that the number of euthanized animals could be reduced dramatically if more people adopted pets instead of buying …show more content…
And do you remember the story that I started with about the little girl and Mom purchasing that cute little brown Cocker Spaniel? Well the Mom soon realized that the little puppy was too much to handle. So the Mom took the puppy to local animal shelter and gave up her rights. The puppy was sad, but was excited of the opportunity of a forever home. Unfortunately, days, weeks, months past and no other family came around. Soon the shelter was at its max and since the puppy had been there the longest; she had to endure the same fate as many animals in the animal shelter do. That of a perfectly healthy innocent puppy has to be
A puppy mill is a horrible place that breeds dogs. Dogs that are breedable may get little to no recovery time between pregnancies. Dogs and puppies are stuffed into wire cages that can harm them. Puppy mills tend to be overcrowded disease and virus filled places. Puppy mills focus on profit rather than the health of the dogs. Many dogs are bred with little regard of genetic quality. Dogs in puppy mills are deprived of veterinary care, food, water, and socialization. If a dog is older and unable to breed anymore they are likely to be killed. Some dogs may never see the light of day or get any attention.
What is a Puppy Mill, How are animals being at Puppy Mills. Animals are being severely neglected by the owners. Responsible breeding practices end up killing. Animals get abused and usually are left to die with no food, water or even locked in a cage. Puppy mills are operating all over the U.S. After breeding for amount of times and don’t get time to recover and cant reproduce anymore are often killed off. Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, without care, food, water and socialization. Puppy mill dogs do not get to experience treats, toys, exercise or basic grooming. To minimize waste cleanup, dogs are often kept in cages with wire flooring that injures their paws and legs- and it is not unusual for cages to be stacked up in columns. Breeding dogs at mills might spend their entire lives outdoors, exposed to the elements, or crammed inside filthy structure where they never get the chance to feel the sun or breathe fresh air. Puppy Mills should be outlawed because some animals are being severely neglected and owners act out without regard to respons...
Year after year people buy puppies from big breeders. Have you ever wondered where that puppy grew up? What kind of conditions the puppy lived in? Most puppies that someone would buy from a pet store are raised in puppy mills. Puppy mills are well-known for their “inhumane conditions” and the endless breeding of “unhealthy and genetically defective” dogs only for income. People should adopt rather than buy from a pet store or breeder. By adopting from a shelter, one could give a dog a second chance at a happy life.
With the holidays approaching, many young couples look into getting their better half a puppy for Christmas. But what they do not know is that puppy could have been bred in one of the most inhumane ways. Puppy mills are all over the United States, and the government has turned their cheeks to the horrors behind those barn doors.
Everyone loves puppies. Adjectives like cute, cuddly, adorable, and innocent are used to describe them. Sadly, the way they come into this world can be described as nothing short of ugly, premeditated and negligent. There are those who treat “man’s best friend” as though they were man’s worst enemy. Those people are in the business of manufacturing puppies by the millions, for millions. These particular manufacturing facilities they own and run are called “puppy mills”, where dogs and puppies are forced to live in the most inhumane, despicable conditions, far greater than prisoners of war or the worst criminals in our nation’s prisons have endured, causing inevitable high mortality rates. Of the six million puppies bred in puppy mills in the US annually, four to five million of them don’t survive. Everyday, eleven thousand cute, cuddly, adorable, and innocent puppies die due to these ugly, premeditated and negligent breeding procedures. Puppy mills should be shut down and made illegal until such time that strict laws are put into place to control and enforce humane breeding and living conditions, protecting the welfare of these dogs, and drastically lessening their mortality rate and the way puppy mill owners make their living.
Call to Action: Challenge your audience to be a responsible pet consumer and not purchase dogs from pet stores or from the Internet. I encourage you to instead, adopt from their local animal shelter. At an animal shelter, you can find many amazing, healthy animals. If you do buy from a breeder, use extreme caution and ask to see the puppy’s parents. Also, please contact your congressional representative and encourage him or her to help pass the PUPS bill.
Faye is fighting to re-home animals that have been abandoned and abused. Since 2012 she has re-homed more than 60 dogs, and about 20 kittens. Faye says, “I would do anything no matter what to save one animal.” It’s as if her whole entire life revolves around saving animals. Faye thinks just by adopting an animal you can help animal abandonment. Also, Faye has her own book on why animal abandonment isn’t good. Although Faye thinks her job is stressful, she thinks it’s easy because she enjoys doing her job and helping animals find a home.
"Puppy Mills: Dogs Abused for the Pet Trade." PETA. N.p., n.d. Web. 28 Apr. 2014. .
There are around four million dogs alone taken into animal shelters here in the United States every year. Over one million of those dogs end up getting euthanized. As of 2012, the United States of America was ranked first in the entire World for having the most dogs: somewhere close to seventy-six million. The over-population of dogs is a real problem in this country. In America, two point eleven million puppies are sold every year from puppy mills, while about three million are killed in shelters because they are too full. Within the past twenty years, puppy mills have become very popular. Unlike animal shelters, puppy mills are designed to get puppy bred and sold as fast as possible. Since puppy Mills are intended for
Since this article came out on July 19th, 2015, efforts were made to stop puppy mills. Many organizations like National Mill Dog Rescue, North Shore Animal League America, Hearts United for Animals, American Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals, The Humane Society of the United States, and many others are coming together and trying to fight pet stores from buying puppies from puppy’s mills and stopping puppy mills in general. Ultimately the article is extremely successful with the rhetorical strategies used in the text, which has persuaded me to be more aware and smarter in what’s really happening in these pet stores, puppy mills, and even behind closed doors, where these pet stores are getting their pets and how bad are being mentally and physically abused at these puppy mills and pet
Everyone wants that cute little brown and white puppy in the cage with its 5 siblings, but do you know where it really came from? Puppy mills are becoming more and more popular and also raising concerns, with good reason. In this essay I will highlight negative effects of puppy mills and 3 main ways they can be prevented.
Huffington Post says that "There are an estimated 2.1 million puppies sold through puppy mills each year, while an estimated 2.4 million healthy, adoptable animals are euthanized in shelters annually." Local pet stores usually sell you the dogs that they have received from puppy mills. Animals from mills are hurt and traumatized daily, they aren’t provided much food or water and are all stuffed together in a couple cages which consists of many other breeds of dogs. Puppy mills breed small dogs with big dogs which can result in death, illness or can cause the puppies to be born with problems. According to aspca.org, just because a store or business shows you a license or papers for the dog doesn't mean the puppies haven't came from a mill. It also mentions that responsible breeders would want a puppy to go to a safe and loving home, and often times want to meet the family that the puppy is going to live with. However, as long as they are making money, pet stores and mills really don't care what kind of living condition or home the puppy is going to. Although there are benefits to having a mill they shouldn’t be allowed all the time. Mills help keep pet stores in business, without being supplied with puppies or other animals they wouldn’t have much of a business and wouldn’t be able to make enough money to help the store, but why not just wait and let nature do its job? Animals and humans are brought into this world to reproduce and when they're ready they will. God put them on this earth for a reason and to bring joy and love to people, we should do our best to keep them safe and treat animals with love.. not harm. Animals shouldn’t be forced to breed at any cost, that’s like sitting two people in a room and giving them no choice but to reproduce. Animals should be treated just like
How much is that doggy in the window? The one with the waggly tail? Well, if you knew where the puppy came from, you may think twice about purchasing the canine. Puppy mills have been around for over fifty years. (1) In these mills, the people who are in charge of the dogs, also known as breeders, are breeding female dogs left and right. Not only are they breeding them every chance they get, but they are performing this task in very unsanitary conditions which causes serious health issues to these animals in the mills. While puppy mills can help people who want to find a breed of dog that is hard to find, puppy mills need to be terminated due to the puppies’ being mistreated and abused, the overpopulation of dogs causing euthanization, and
So you want to adopt a puppy? Well there are two main places that your puppy could have been born. First, your puppy could have been born at a puppy mill. This is an inhumane, mass breeding location that can be very detrimental to your new pet. Another location that your puppy could have been born at is a breeder. This is a more humane location for your puppy to have been born. When adopting a puppy you should avoid going to a pet store because most pet stores receive their puppies from puppy mills; inhumane and overpopulated puppy breeding places.
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
