If dogs were allowed in the workplace they could cause a lot of problems. Ask a dog owner if they agree if dogs should be allowed in the workplace everyday. If we allow dogs in the workplace everyone who is allergic or have allergies would not be able to work there. Do our workplaces need your dogs or anyones dogs fur on the carpet or anywhere else so janitors have a harder job cleaning.

Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat is a non-fiction story about naturalist Farley Mowat, on an expedition to find out why so many caribou were being killed. Mowat’s superiors believed that wolves were killing the caribou. He spent almost a year investigating the wolves’ way of life focusing on a small pack made up of two males and a female with her pups. Mowat camped near their den and observed their eating and hunting habits. He observed that wolves rarely ate caribou and when they did, it was the weak and sick ones.

The book, No Dogs in Heaven (Published in 2005), is a collection of stories by Robert Shart, D.V.M. In the novel, Robert Shart shares with the readers about his journey of buying a veterinarian office from Dr. Bill Lukhart (who had been in practice in Hillsboro and the surrounding countries for over 40 years) and all of the journeys and struggles Dr.Robert Shart went through. When I get older, I want to work with animals: Therefore I selected to read, No Dogs in Heaven. I also chose to read No Dogs in Heaven, so I can have a better judgment on what a veterinarian does. When I was skimming the book to see if I liked it, I saw that it contained short stories about different animals and their problems, which i enjoyed.

The issue that causes the most anger for many breeders is when people ignore how much health testing they do for their dogs. Many people believe that health testing is a wonderful way to prevent many genetic diseases. Health testing looks at the genes of an animal and searches for impurities, therefore, if an impurity is found the animal is not used for breeding to ensure it does not pass down that disease (Peck). There are a lot of breeders who believe that this fact is overlooked when people who are anti-purebreds make their arguments. Stephanie Poot was one breeder who was extremely offended after reading an article that slandered dog breeders and responded with an article called “Dog Breeder Offended” in which she calls out the article that made her and fellow breeders out to be monsters.

Most of us have pets and consider them part of the family. As a result, we could never imagine the horror some animals are forced to endure at the hands of their caretakers. This particular ad depicts a powerful visual of a neglected dog, in poor health, chained to what seems to be a barrel. The copy in the ad, while minimal, is powerful: “Help Us Help them” and the words “Donate Today” (ASPCA). This ad is a public service announcement to bring awareness to the community concerning the horrors of animal abuse, its helpless victims, and to compel the public to make a financial donation to put an end to animal cruelty.

A big part of the problem lies with the lack of government funds for the animal shelters in Puerto Rico. The government only provides $1.5 million in seed funding to create animal services for all 78 municipalities. All the while these animal shelters are filled to capacity, which means the death rate goes up for these “rescued” dogs so only a handful more can be picked up off the streets. There are about two hundred thousand dogs roaming the streets and neighborhoods along the island. In Puerto Rico, there are at least 500 dogs euthanized each day, while in the United States there are 1.2 million dogs each year.

Why are Pitbulls Disliked in the United States? Every year about 40% of dogs that are euthanized are pitbulls. Pit bulls are being banned in certain cities and even states. They are portrayed to be aggressive animals. Just the sight of a pit bull has people terrified and worried they will be attacked.

As of today, every state in the U.S. has a law prohibiting cruelty to dogs and penalties towards the perpetrator (“Animal Cruelty Statistics”). Although the U.S. was the first country in the world to enact laws to protect pet companions from cruelty and negligence, “it still continues to occur in every part of the country and in every type of community” (“Dog Fighting”). Forty-four years since the inception of the AWA, the Office of the Inspector General carried out an audit to the USDA/APHIS (U.S. Department of Agriculture/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service); it revealed the failure to completely enforce the AWA in regard to Class B dealers, which are licensed dealers by the USDA to acquire dogs from unidentified sources and “sell them to research institutions for use in experiments” (“Fact Sheet”). In another instance, there are only 43 of 50 states that have a zero tolerance policy for this conduct in the country. This is because there are some states that only allow felony charges if the perpetrator has a previous animal cruelty conviction (“Animal Cruelty Statistics”).

On a daily basis, about “7,000 pets are killed by their abusers”. People have to accept the fact that commercials on the television and little campaigns every now and then are not going to change that. The way we are dealing with this now is not at all the correct or most efficient way to do this. This abuse is in-human. Tell me, what is the difference between a human’s life and a dog’s life?

Which risks the health of the dogs not only in the puppy mill, but also those outside of the

In 2015, the combination of pit bulls and rottweilers contributed to 91% of all dog bite-related fatalities." (DogsBite) For advocates of the pit bull breeds, you must look at how many pit bulls make up the United States ' large dog population. " Each year, 1.2 million dogs are euthanized, approximately 40% of whom are Pit Bulls. This means that nearly half a million Pit Bull-type dogs are killed in shelters annually."

The fact that the inhumane sport of dog fighting exists in this country isn’t news to many of us. We’ve been aware of dog fighting for perhaps many years, but knowing that it’s simply bad doesn’t help the animals in need. Have any of us genuinely tried to do anything about the violence? Something I’ve noticed is that humans have a nasty habit of being remarkably self-centered. In all honesty, I’m guilty of it, too.

Puppy Mills or Hell for the Innocent? Who the hell goes through years of school, and then one day decides to pursue a career at a local puppy mill? After years of experiencing the romanticizing of puppies and dogs, people choose to work in a place that breeds and poorly raises such a multitude of dogs that thousands end up homeless, disabled, or dead. Puppy mills shouldn't even exist. These mills are basically the Cruella Deville of the real world.
