422 Words2 Pages

There are many animals in need all around the world. Each one has a different story, a different history, a different life. That’s why we have organizations like the ASPCA, to rescue animals that can’t do it themselves. It’s also a wonderful place for people to add a new fluffy four-pawed pet to the family. The ASPCA is the first humane society that was established in North America. It was founded back in the year 1866, by Henry Bergh. His goal was to help all animals who have suffered from abuse, or just needed a new home. Bergh set up the ASPCA headquarters in no other than New York City. Now, the ASPCA has locations set up all of the United States, but the headquarters remain the same. Many people have decided to help out over time, which …show more content…

They turn animals lives back around, taking them from the harsh cold, and putting them in a place where they can live their life in comfort. They offer many programs too, like emergency veterinary care, foster care, pet supplies, humane euthanasia, and pet behavior counseling. The ASPCA has also helped out other shelters, including one that was affected by hurricane Sandy. The organization even provided them with over 40 grants, totaling over $350,000. Workers at this shelter spent at least 72 hours there, prepping before and after the storm in order to keep the animals safe. They had to use emergency power and even a gas generator provided to keep the animals nice and toasty warm. The ASPCA also gave out fresh water, light, which allowed the staff to get back to performing their …show more content…

It’s funding comes from many different things. Cash grants, sponsorships, executive and technical assistance, and training are just a few. They distribute their funds effectively, like how I mentioned earlier with the shelter after hurricane Sandy. The ASPCA provided them with necessities to keep the animals alive. In conclusion, the ASPCA does its best to help animals, no matter how difficult it may seem. Giving helpless animals to people who care, it what the ASPCA strives to accomplish. 100’s of animals are rescued everyday from their abusive owners, all because of the

In the U.S, an animal is abused every ten seconds, and we are the only people who can make a change. We will never be able to stop animal abuse, but the least we can do is help the animals who have been abused. Vet Ranch is a non-profit organization that does just that. They take abused animals out of kill shelters sometimes even hours before being euthanized and nurses them to full health. Vet Ranch works on donations from the public only, and without donations would not be able to function.

A long time ago, animals played a huge role in people’s lives. For example, they would rely on animals for the things they needed, such as food, clothing, and transportation. People back then acted differently. In some societies people would worship animals as gods. At least, 12 - 14,000 years ago, people realized that if they took a baby wolf, they could train it, and it would be friendly when the wolf was full grown.

When you get an animal you provide for it so it can be healthy and strong just like children. Organizations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals just look at the bad incidents and don’t take into account how much we have expanded from livestock. They think that in FFA or 4-H we just fatten up our livestock and when the time comes we just give them away to be slaughtered like nothing, as if we never got emotionally attached to our animal. But they are wrong. We provide everything that is needed.

Alfred A. Montapert once said, “Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.” So, why do they deserve to live on the streets or in a shelter? For many animal lovers it is difficult to understand why the number of unwanted animals walking the streets every day is so large. In central Texas, there is a growing concern about the ever-increasing number of unwanted cats and dogs.

As we mentioned in class that not every movement is successful or a failure, there’s always some more to it. If you ask me, PETA has a line between successfully accomplishing all their intended consquences like being the biggest animal rights organization and fighting against a lot of businesses that were treating animals with cruelty but there’s also the unintended external consequences that occurred which was “PETA kills animals.” This countermovement proves to the world that PETA might be more of a hypocrite than anybody knew because the animal rights that they fighting for, they were also willing to kill animals which is something that is contradicting (Winograd). As I mentioned before, PETA have wrote many letters to different businesses

Shelters currently hold pets beyond their originally designed capacity. Pets get dropped off or picked up off the streets for so many reasons. 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
