No federal agency exists in order to track the incoming number of puppies in the United States each year. Therefore there is no limit on the number of puppies that can be cruelly bred outside of the United States and then brought in across the border unjustly to be sold to unknowing customers. It’s not fair to the puppies, and it’s not fair to those buying the puppies. A federal agency should be created to keep track of the number of puppies coming into the United States each year in order to track if someone is mass-transporting puppies. This would help limit the problem to where it is only within the country, therefore lowering the amount of work that would have to be done in order to track down the puppy mills and begin to work towards eliminating the problem.
Book Report My book ‘Endangered’ by Eliot Schrefer, was about a young girl named Sophie who had to fight to stay alive, taking care of not just herself, but a baby bonobo she named Otto. My book interested me in many ways. One way it interested me was because it showed the bond humans can have with an animal, so therefor we should stop people from killing animals. My quote I used is “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom”. I chose this quote because it tells us that killing animals happens faster than someone gathering knowledge.
Does The Current Animal Welfare Legislation Need To Be Revised In Order To Eliminate Puppy Mills? In America today, a puppy is a staple of the family, but where do the puppies come from? Most families do not consider that question when they purchase their new pet. It is very easy to go the pet store or shelter and fall in love with a puppy’s adorable face. Their big wanting eyes and wagging tails draw you in without any evidence of their history or how they got to where they are.
“Spaying is a general term used to describe the ovariohysterectomy of a female animal” while “Neutering is a general term used to describe the castration of a male animal (American Humane Association, 2011).” In more simple terms, spaying and neutering renders the animal sterile through surgical means, and therefore, it permanently prevents them from having litters. In addition to the sterilization caused by these procedures, there are also health benefits that arise from having your pet spayed or neutered. According to the American Humane Association, there are both instant and long term benefits of these procedures. A spayed a female cat “eliminates the constant crying and nervous pacing,” and “eliminates the messiness associated with the heat cycle (American Humane Association, 2011)” for female dogs. In both male cats and dogs, neutering can “prevent certain undesirable sexual behaviors, such as urine marking, humping, male aggression and the urge to roam.” Also, animals in multi-pet houses are far more likely to get along with one another if they are “fixed.” Long term health benefits for spayed females of both species (when completed before the animal’s first “heat” cycle) include nearly completely eliminating the risk of breast cancer, and fully eliminating any chance of uterine infections and uterine cancer.
There are lots of people who are unaware of puppy mills and what they do, because of this they can help contribute towards them without realising that they are. Contribution towards puppy mills and puppy farms is simply done by purchasing puppies from the pet shop. A puppy mill can have anywhere between 200 to 300 female dogs and 50 male dogs which are forced to breed to create puppies to sell to pet shops. The dogs are kept in confined cages their whole life and never
Spencer Ferguson SOC 100/02 25th September 2011 Reflection on Lucy the Chimp: Progress in Research or Inhumane? When listening to this story, I was so intrigued, almost entranced in what this account had to tell society. It is truly mind-boggling to think that a closely related species, but a different species nonetheless is taught to eat like a human, act like a human, and truly think it is actually a human. It makes you wonder what else we could do with research, but you also wonder, is that natural? That is the battle I’m going through now over this story.
She plans to purchase some this weekend to assist her with more accurate graphs. She really hates that she had to leave class early, she wanted to see everyone’s presentation. La Quandria enjoys her teammates as group member. She believes the team need to get our momentum back up. She believes everyone probably needs a break in between classes because there is no time to regroup in between class.
Buying online, from the pet shop or even a simple news advertisement is justifying the puppy mills actions. Even taking a vow to adopt your next pet is one step in the right direction. Personally, I have bought from a puppy mill. It is terrible, but even worse to know that it is right under our noses. (Located near Nimbin) By supporting this industry I have invested almost $3000 into one breeding ground.
I could never keep any pet alive longer than a year, my parent are very proud of me for taking on a bigger responsibly. I figured out that I am not ready to have a child, with my dog, by a dog can be placed in a kennel and leave them with some toys, but if you placed a child in a kennel and leave them with some toys, division of family services would be called on your butt faster than a person could
Reflection on Relationship with whanau 26/02/2014 Describe From the first day of my field practice, I have built the positive relationship with the tamariki, whanau and kaiako at Topkids Mptotaiko. I introduced myself to parents and whanau and try to have a small conversation with them like how their child enjoyed painting today? To build the relationship that makes them feel comfortable around me so they can feel free to trust me around their tamariki. I ask lots of questions to staffs about planning so I can link my practicum goals with the centre planning to be part of the team. Inform In returned I felt very welcome and have all the support I need.
