This results in red imprints and cuts around their necks. The dogs often have only nubs for front or back legs, because of the many fights that break out . Dogs from puppy mills are often diagnosed with sicknesses such as respiratory infections and pneumonia, as well as hereditary defects. It is hard for animals to enjoy, or barely even tolerate conditions like these. People should also avoid buying their dogs at pet stores because most of the dogs there come from puppy mills.
Yea, that’s right, good ol Bennington VT, has animal cruelty issues. Benningtons main issue is dog neglect, and I’ve had to wake up for the past 3 years and witness it everyday. Diagonal from my yard, about 100 ft away, lives a small family; they own an Akita, a Japanese large powerful breed of dog that goes by the name of Friday. From about 7am to 8pm every day she sits, hangs around, and sleeps in her own yard, in hot weather, cold weather, and even snow and thunder storms. I’ve tried to report this family’s neglect about 5 times, but because they leave a bowl and a doghouse out for her, Friday can’t be taken away from them.

Simply put, it means taking your pet to the vet for a quick, fairly inexpensive surgery that will prevent your pet from ever becoming a parent. This surgery solves problems that pet owners know about, and some that they might not have considered before. I believe that all responsible pet owners should be required to have their pets spayed or neutered. Everybody loves a cute new puppy or kitten. But those cute babies soon get bigger and there simply are not enough homes for all of them.
Last September my husband, 11-year-old daughter, and I went to the Hot Springs National Park Kennel Club dog show at the convention center. We met a couple with two Great Danes and that is the moment I fell in love. One of the dogs was black with some white patches and the other was a silvery gray color. The silvery gray one just melted my heart when I knelt down to pet her and she nuzzled my hand. Her owners said she was only 8 months old but her temperament was that of a very calm 2-year-old and she ended up winning the competition.

The last meow thought I would never get over it when our dog Hollie died. My brother Dan and I both cried as Dad buried her under the avocado tree in our backyard, knowing that Hollie was gone from our lives forever. We made Dad bury her very deep so no other animals could come and dig her up. Dad said that Hollie was old (we knew that) and had been sick a long time (we knew that too) and had lived a good life (we knew that too) but my heart was broken anyway. My family also had a few pets before Hollie.
Pet Overpopulation Sonia Sykes COM172 March 18, 2011 David Searle Pet Overpopulation In the United States alone there are more than four million dogs and cats euthanized each year, according to a journal published by Siress, A. (2010). This is a result of very many unwanted animals, over breeding, and many different economic factors. Truth is, owning a pet is a luxury and takes a large amount of time that some people do not have to invest into their pets, so these animals are abandoned, mistreated, and surrendered if they are lucky to animal shelters.
