A.S.P.C.A Commercial

This commercial is very sad. It made me want to go and adopt a pet from a shelter. In this commercial, it shows that pets that are in shelters will sometimes not be adopted and then they are put down. These animals are put down because after they have been there for a long time, the shelter will need to make room for other animals. Also, the shelter will run out of money to pay for that animals necessary needs so the only other option is to put the animal down. It makes me sad to think that people would rather go to a breeder than go and adopt a pet from a shelter. What is the big difference? Why wouldn’t you go to a shelter to get a dog, cause if you did, then you might end up saving that dog’s life. Or cats depending on your preference of pets. I hope that if you are a pet owner, then you found this presentation very moving and that you got your pet from a shelter. Even if you don’t own a pet, I hope this video made you think about adopting a pet from a shelter.

Animal abuse and abandonment is a big issue, and it does not only affect house pets. It affects all animals, horses, lizards, mice, etc. This issue is in need of help from everyone, and everyone includes you. A way to deal with this issue is to adopt pets from shelters, Feed your pets and keep them healthy, and if you do not want your pet, don’t just leave it alone to die, try selling it, you could possibly make some money from selling the pet. All animals are important and I hope everyone knows that, because without animals, we wouldn’t exist. If a whole animals species died, we would die shortly after they died. In the world we live in, we humans rely on other animals to live, we use them for food, clothing, and food products like honey and vegetables. My main point is that you must keep your animals happy and healthy because they need you and you need them. This may be a short post but i think i have made my point in a meaningful way.

The S.P.C.A

          The S.P.C.A is a wonderful organization that helps animals, up until they are there for 1 week. Cause after that 1 week mark, they get killed to make room for other animals. I don’t think that animal shelters that are like that are the best. I like the New Hope Dog Shelter. My Auntie is actually a volunteer there and lives on an acridge so she keeps some of the dogs there when the shelter itself gets too full. I do not really need to provide proof that the S.P.C.A kills animals since they have admitted it before. So they are not ashamed of it where as if you had to go around all day killing animals I am pretty sure I would feel bad about it and so would anyone else. Or at least most people would. I do understand that they need to make space for the other animals that come in but killing isn’t the only way.

Their website is amazing, very informative and neat with many things to click on, but what about their facts about what they do with the animals that are bad, that don’t do what they are told. I’ll tell you what they so with those animals, they kill them, just like they do with the overflowing animals. My family believes that all living things deserve second chances, and just cause no one wants the animal doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to live. I say that we should stand up and give the S.P.C.A some suggestions as to what they should do with the overflowing animals and the animals no one wants. But it is not entirely their fault. It is everyone’s fault. Its the fault of everyone who thought about donating to the S.P.C.A but decided not to cause they were saving up for a car or they wanted to but the new iPod touch. So the next time you have some extra change in your pocket, don’t think, “What can I do for myself?” think, “What can i do to help someone or something else?”.

          I know that before I was all “The S.P.C.A is bad, but now I have realized that it’s not their fault they run out of space, they just need more donations to help keep the animals there for a longer period of time. We can help them out by donating as much money as we can spare and if your thinking about getting a dog, instead of getting a puppy, look for an older more behaved dog. And instead of getting a pure breed from a breeder, settle for a cute mixed breed dog from the S.P.C.A. I have started donating to the S.P.C.A and ever since I started I have felt better about myself thinking that I am helping an animal live and I am giving them another chance. I bet you would too if you started donating to them, but you don’t just have to donate to them. You can donate money to any charity you want but if you want to donate to an animal shelter, you should consider donating to this shelter.

          I have been wanting to write about the S.P.C.A for a long time but I have had so many other things to write about so I never got to it until now. I am glad I finally got to it and am pretty happy with the outcome. Comment and let me know what your opinion is on it.
