Res. 401 that would provide the compulsory measure to outlaw the inhumane practice against dogs and cats in all of nine countries in Asia engaging in cruel torture.

Multiple people believe that no-kill shelters cost communities more than they give back. According to Hunsdon Cary of Lynchburg, Virginia, the responsibility to pay for the “animal control subsidy [of] $396,000” is not the city’s responsibility (Chalmers). While Cary’s statement is not unreasonable, one must also remember that the $396,000 required for the animal control subsidy to function re-enters the community in the form of local business revenue. The No Kill Advocacy Center reports that “Americans spend $50 billion annually on the care of their companion animals” which demonstrates the amount of money that must flow back through the community. Countless workers and business owners in a community such as “groomers, boarding facilities, pet sitters, veterinarians and businesses which sell products for pets such as treats and toys” benefit from adopted shelter pets because the fees these pets produce provide more business for the workers and business owners (“Dollars and Sense” 8).

Animals get taken to, or not taken from shelters because they are either strays, victims of abuse, present behavioral issues, left behind due to family moving, abandon from different family experiences, not bought from overpricing, or the family had no time for it. All of which result in psychological effects of trust issues, loneliness, feeling unloved, anxiety, and
