How spaying/neutering makes you an animal hero
The first thing that I wanted to be when I was to become a dog hero.I wanted to spend my life saving every dog out there. But as I grew up and became involved with PAWS I discovered that it was impossible to save every dog out there. I thought of the best way that I can help my dog and other dogs out there from animal abuse or neglect. So how could we possibly save dogs and be their hero? So I am here to tell you about how can you be a dog hero through spaying/neutering. The main point of my speech are the health benefits for your pets, how it prevents animal cruelty, how it gives a chance for other dogs to have a home. Going into my first point spaying your female pets and neutering your

male pets has numerous health benefits. So what health benefits will it give your pet? It makes your pets live longer.Various types of cancer plus other serious canine diseases can be prevented through spaying and neutering. Your dog will be better behaved and won't display aggressive behaviors towards other dogs. My next point is that through neutering you could help other dogs too. So how can you help other dogs through supporting spaying/neutering?
By spaying/neutering your pets, you'd be able to control pet population because pet overpopulation is the number one cause of animal cruelty. When people become uncomfortable because of having too many pets some of them call up PAWS and ask if we can take in their pets that have reproduced uncontrollably which is not our job or they turn to abandon their pets out in the streets. These pets now become vulnerable to getting run over or targeted by cruel persons. Stray pets that are being fed but not neutered actually reproduce at a faster rate. More stray pets translate to more incident of bites which often forces the government to launch a massive collect and kill stray animals program. Neutering also means fewer dogs being euthanized at dog pounds. Dogs pounds collect stray pets where they are kept for 5 days or 7 at maximum and if no one claims them and shelter's cannot offer a space because of being fully loaded - they are being put down. An average city pound in our country puts down about 200 dogs every month, that's about 2,400 dogs a year times the number of cities that has animal pounds. So my last point is that we could be their hero because we’d be able to increase their chances of being
adopted We can save sheltered and stray dogs through neutering because it makes them tamed and, therefore, fit for adoption. The reason why pets at shelters don't get adopted easily is because of the demand for foreign breeds. I love foreign breeds but I don't encourage breeding and buying from breeders which you personally don't know because they might be abusing dogs if we want another pet we could choose from over a hundred homeless dogs out there. To conclude my speech I will summarize my message in a sentence. Neutering makes you a hero because you get to save your dog, save other dogs, and give them a chance to have a loving home. By this small thing, you become their hero. I would like to end my speech with this. You may not be able to save every dog out there but you could save those around you through spaying/neutering.

The speech “Birth Order Effect” discusses the effects of being born as a first, middle, or last child. After intense reviewing and critiquing on the online speech subject, purpose, thesis, research, organization, delivery, and presentation aids. I’ve have determined this speech to be well presented only having small errors that could have been easily avoided.
“No-Kill Mondays: Saving Animals One Day at a Time.” Life with Dogs. Life with Dogs,
Throughout our lives, we carry and value our own beliefs. As we face different challenges, we may be persuaded into making certain choices. However, no matter how convincing a person may be, in the end we always have the last word. Nobody likes being told what to do but we do like to hear other opinions for a different perspective. The proper way of using rhetoric is through a confident tone that is knowledgeable of their topic. The speaker should have integrity and be selfless in the sense that they are understanding towards their audience.
The strange life and death of Christopher McCandless is an enigma. After disappearing for 2 years, McCandless was found dead at age twenty-four in the Alaskan wilderness, the world stunned on why an affluent young man with a bright future would give it all up to live in seclusion in the wilderness. In his book Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer theorizes the motivations of McCandless and why a seemingly sane person would take such dangerous risks. Krakauer’s major theories of why McCandless did what he did revolve around a singular idea: freedom. Krakauer uses McCandless’s change of identity and wilderness adventures to symbolize freedom and self-expression.
The evidence that pets are not considered very important in the United States is easy to find – as Bernard E. Rollin and Michael D.H. Rollin state: “we acquire these animals while knowing nothing of their needs and natures, then get rid of them because they cannot help those needs and natures…we adopt them on a whim, and get rid of them when it passes…” (Rollin & Rollin “Ethics and Companion Animals” 546). Overpopulation of companion animals like dogs and cats presents perhaps the most clearly visible dilemma – “although no completely reliable statistics exist, it is estimated that between 6 and 10 million dogs and between 7 and 10 million cats were humanely killed in pet shelters in the United States in 1990” (Palmer “Killing ...
Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in pursuit of ending such criminal means, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the horrific crimes of animal deaths in shelters. It is no secret that this world has become infused with problems that have extended from one side of the globe to the other. Amongst these problems lies a terrible truth: nearly every year, sums of almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these vast numbers, half will be euthanized; that equals to one animal being put down every 8 seconds. Animals that are not adopted are kept in shelters until they find a home. Most of these shelters do not have enough space or resources to care for the animal. Only 15% of dogs and 2% of cats that enter animal shelters are reunited with their owners. The majority of pets are obtained from acquaintances and family members. Twenty-six percent of dogs are purchased from breeders, 20 to 30 percent of cats and dogs are adopted from shelters and rescues, and 2 to 10 percent are purchased from pet shops. In addition, only 56% of dogs and 71% of cats that enter animal shelters are euthanized. The 10% of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered, while 78 percent of dogs and 88 percent of cats are not spayed or neutered, in 2009 Statistics from animal shelters in 55 counties in WV (West Virginia) shows that nearly 54% of all animals entering shelters are euthanized, The euthanasia rates ranged from the lowest at 5% to the highe...
Many people don’t spay or neuter their pets, especially cats. There are a lot of benefits and yet according to The Humane Society of the United States, six to eight million cats enter the shelters each year and while three to four million are adopted out, another three to four million are killed. “An unsprayed female cats, her mate and all of their offspring producing just 2 litters per year (the average is 3-4), with just 2.8 surviving kittens per litter can total to 66,088 cats in just 6 years” (Goldstein & O’Keefe 4).
...tting worse and worse as the years go on. Many different organizations are trying to help out with what they can. Having a pet can be a responsibility that many are not ready for. Having a dog or cat as a pet can become expensive and every time consuming, and that is why there are so many animals that live on the streets and why overpopulation keeps increasing year after year. Seeing stray animals has become a normal thing to see for some communities around the world but these strays can be the home and breading ground for diseases that can be fatal. If an animal is saved from living on the streets it is sent to an animal shelter where it may still suffer and be in a cage for the rest of its life. Animal shelters are becoming over crowded and having to constantly make room for more animals, and that is causing the number of dogs and cats that are euthanized to rise.
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
Poisoning is illness caused by eating, drinking, touching, or inhaling a harmful substance. The damaging effects on a child's health will vary depending on the type of poison, the amount of exposure, the duration of exposure before treatment, and the height and weight of the child. These effects may range from mild to very severe or even fatal. ExitCare ImageMost poisonings take place in the home and involve common household products.
According to the ASPCA, 7.6 million companion animals enter shelters every year. Of those, 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats. Every year, around 2.7 million animals are euthanized. Euthanasia is the process of ending an animal's life with drugs. These are senseless deaths that could be minimized, or even eliminated, through spaying and neutering animals or adopting from shelters and not breeders. Whether the animal is a stray or a family pet, spaying or neutering could save generations of future puppies and kittens from dying in shelters.
According to humana.com, dogs are great for your heart, relieve stress and depression, unite you into a community, will encourage exercise and even give you a source of comfort. Dogs are basically angels brought to us by the gods, so we should treat them like that. Instead, 7.6 million dogs a year are imprisoned in a shelter and treated like dirt. When I grow up and purchase my own house, I already know that I’ll want to inherit dogs of my own, but I have made the decision to adopt and save, not shop.
If dogs and cats are the most popular pets in households, why do we see millions of healthy ones roaming the streets or being killed every day in shelters due to irresponsible homes? The problem is the breeding rates of pets alike, exceeds the number of homes available to animals. Negligent pet owners who refuse to have their animals neutered/sprayed, are the ones continuing to bring animals into an already overpopulated world. This causes animals in shelters to have less of a chance to be adopted, because there is not enough room to house them all. More and more animals will die in the streets due to harsh weather conditions, poor nutrients, fatal accidents with traffic, sold or placed in laboratories for research, or even killed for fun.
Next we have Humane Society of the United States, the nation’s largest and most effective animal protection organization. They dedicate themselves to conduct campaigns to raise awareness about the problem of animal abuse, stray animals, and animal rescue. They provide shelters and sanctuaries for animals without permanent homes. According to their research, there are about 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats in the U.S that are put down to sleep every 11 seconds, and often the animals being put to sleep are offspring of pets who has a permanent home and human companion. This led Humane Society to believe that the process of spaying and neutering is a very crucial process which needs to be done towards every pets to ensure that there are no unwanted breeding and significantly reducing the amount of animals being left to stray.
