Initial ideas
Initially for my research project I was thinking about focusing on either puppy mills or cat management. With assistance from teachers and my parents, I managed to choose a topic and develop my question involving cat management.

Resources and research process I am planning to use
Utilising primary and secondary resources, I will be able to gather various opinions and part experiences about my topic, this includes websites such as:
- ABC (www.abc.net.au)
- Dog and cat board (www.dogandcatboard.com.au)
- Australian Government Department of the Environment (www.environment.gov.au)
- Cats and wildlife (www.teatreegully.sa.gov.au)

Through conversations with the RSPCA, Zoo’s, Local Council Animal Control Department, wildlife park’s staff and cat owners in Adelaide, I will be able to gain more information about unmanaged cats in Adelaide. I will have the opportunity to discover the variety of innovations and practices to improve animal control that I didn’t know before and find out information that will help me with my research project.

The City of Oshawa Should Fund a Trap-Neuter-Return Program for Stray Cats. The city of Oshawa has long had a feline overpopulation issue and has been cause for complaint from both local residents and local shelters. The only solution that is put forth time and again by the City Council and Oshawa Animal Services is the euthanizing of these cats to control population. This is an expensive and flawed solution that is not effective against population control long term.

Although Jeremy Rifkin, Bob stevens, and Lois Frazier have all written about their view on animals and how they are treated globally, but when bringing in animal rights groups like ASPCA and PETA, different bias and tactics are newly introduced. Of all the articles, Jeremy Rifkin uses the most credible sources such as lab studies and examples. In the article “A Change of Heart about Animals” Rifkin uses sources such as Purdue University and the European union when talking about situations. One situation he writes about is how pigs need social activity so the pigs are not “lacking mental and physical stimuli [which] hand result in deterioration of health”.

They might use powerful words to show how urgent it is to do something to save the lives of animals in shelters. The authors could present logical arguments supported by data, statistics, or expert opinions to show the results. To show pathos, they might describe heart-wrenching stories of animals euthanized in shelters or highlight the bond between humans and animals. Lastly, for ethos, they might cite sources or refer to their previous research on animal welfare issues. The authors used strong rhetorical strategies to build credibility and make a strong

Trap‐Neuter‐Return (TNR) are trials in feral cat management that began in England and Europe in the 1950’s as an alternative to killing feral cats (Berkeley, 2004). The effectiveness of TNR has been debated, even though its use is expanding throughout the world. TNR is reported to have a number of benefits including; improved feral cat health, reduced public health risks, avoids the use of euthanasia, reduced risk to other cats, reduces threat of diseases (Hughes & Slater, 2002). However, TNR is has been reported to have negative effects such as; helps spreads disease (Mahlow & Slater 1996), affects ecosystem health (Loyd & Miller, 2010), impacts native predators (George, 1974), economic cost of surgery ( Mahlow & Slater, 1996), creates risks to public health (Hildreth et al, 2010) and has no clear ecological benefit (Guttilla & Stapp,

My issue is the public view of animal welfare in slaughter houses. Many large company slaughter houses are found to be unethical in their practices, such as the transportation, and handling of livestock before and during the harvesting process. Some key background issues include the different processes of harvesting and the ethical handling procedures that take place within the slaughter houses. A few other background include the recent changes in the past few years to each slaughter house resulting in new issues or complications. These changes are the different methods of harvesting the animals, and the different handling techniques used to move and transport the livestocks.

Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in means of ending such criminal acts, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the terrible crimes of animal deaths in shelters. Between these problems lies a terrible truth, nearly every year, almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these very large numbers, half will be euthanized. That equals to one animal being put down every 8 seconds.

The organisational structure refers to the relationships among the parts of an organised whole (Hatch, 1997) and it can be influenced by factors such as size and the complexity of tasks. Therefore, due to the size of NHS, the structure is probable to be very hierarchical with numerous layers and an extensive chain of command. The NHS structure is divided into different hierarchies that are for example, the national directors’ hierarchy followed by different departments’ such as commissioning operations directorate, medical directorate et cetera (NHS England, 2016). Using Weber’s bureaucratic theory, employees who work in bureaucratic structured organisations work according to pre-set, standardized rules and procedures. Although the event highlighted a flaw in their helpline system rather than its structure, it does suggest that their instigated structure is indeed bureaucratic as the 111 call handlers follow a pre-set script when handling calls.
