Sexton talked about the changes that have been made to save the lives of animals that are unwanted and therefore killed because of the space that was taken up. Sexton begins by giving a basic definition of what is animal overpopulation. “Pet overpopulation occurs when there are more domestic cats and dogs than there are people who want them as pets.” (Sexton, J. (2011)). Sexton states facts about how much kittens are birthed a year in the U.S. Companion pets such as dogs and cats have to be euthanized because they are unwanted.
Many of the dogs are the same size as their cages, so they are squeezed in there with no room to play, or barely even move. The owners of these puppy mills neglect the animals. They often hit or inflict other kinds of pain on them. One example is putting collars on that are too small for them. This results in red imprints and cuts around their necks.
Many people think that the animals there are all abused and emaciated, but they aren’t. There are many healthy animals in shelters. Finally, a good reason to adopt rather than buy is that you won't be supporting puppy mills. Puppy mills are "factory style" dog-breeding facilities that put profit above the welfare of dogs. Most dogs raised in puppy mills are housed in shockingly poor conditions with improper medical care, and the parents of the puppies are kept in cages to be bred over and over for years, without human companionship and with little hope of ever joining a family.
Cloning my dog can not only be dangerous but it can also affect adoption rates. The second reason of why I would not clone my dog is because it can affect adoption rates. For example, there are thousands of shelters overflowing with dogs and cats in need of homes. So why not adopt a pet from a shelter instead of spending thousands of dollars to clone my animal. Cloning my dog can not only affect adoption rates but it can also cause the animal to suffer if it fails.
Saving Cadence”: A Neglected Pit Bull Daniela Salazar Abstract The American Pit Bull Terrier’s reputation has changed drastically over time in the United States. With that being said people can’t own a Pit Bull in multiple cities in the U.S. “Saving Cadence” is one of many videos posted on the Hope for Paws worldwide network. These videos are posted by animal rescuers that prove with life footage that all dogs deserve a second chance. “Saving Cadence” is about a neglected female Pit Bull named Cadence, who was given a second chance to become a wonderful pet just like any other breed considered a “family dog”. In this analysis paper I will analyze the credibility of the video and the author, how pathos, ethos, and logos are used for both the rhetoric and visual part, identify the audience, and how effective the video was to get their message across.

Cages are very confined and squishy and the animal would probably become quite aggressive trying to get out of the small cage. It is cruel to keep animals in cages because they lose their natural instincts. In their natural habitat animal’s hunt, kill, breed, hide from predators and live with their own kind. In cages animals are lucky to have another animal of their species in the cage. They are given food and practically forced to breed.
However by doing this they are affecting the dogs teeth, which could wear down over time or could break, which would cause the dog to put through pain that it really doesn't deserve. So the welfare of the dog is affected because it is put through completely unnecessary pain just so the owners can have a ‘stronger’ dog. - However these owners say that their dogs are safe as long as they are around and that they wouldn't attack anyone unless told to by the owner. However there has been an 80% increase into the amount of under 18s being admitted due to ‘dog attacks’. There were over 3800 people in the UK treated for dog bites by the NHS in 2007.
Being a Veterinarian is huge in the world, and often not given enough credit, for without them, our animals all across the world would suffer, and so would the way of life. Veterinary practice seems great with the vision of helping animals, petting the cats, and giving dogs treats after a mouth clean, but it isn't that easy. Because we can't talk to and understand life for animals like Dr. Dolittle, we need Veterinarians everyday, to enlarge and help the animals in and around the world so we can better understand these awesome creatures ("Dr. Dolittle", 2008). Being a Veterinarian takes skill and expertise, for they take care of the health of pets, livestock, and other animals. Others use skills to protect humans againist diseases
In the United States, Puppy Mills is a growing epidemic. Dog breeders have blurred the lines between selling a puppy for profit and treating an animal as one would treat a discarded piece of paper. My home state is Delaware and the first state that comes to my mind is Pennsylvania in regards to puppy mills. This state is doing a poor job enforcing an anti-puppy law designed to protect buyers and ensure breeders maintain humane practices. The United States is not the only country trying to protect animals; The United Kingdom and Australia are front runners as well.
