The author urges us about the problem of having too much cats and dogs overpopulating,
and the animal shelter having too much to handle. The author acknowledged thought of
spraying and sterilizing the dogs and cats. The sterilized is giving to the dog and cat at a
very young age to reduce the number of unwanted pets. The sterilizer stops the pets from
the ability of having offspring. Veterinarians are the ones to say at what age and when the
animals should be spray. Studies were shown that a small percentage of the pets are not
in the owner home 6 months after the investment. Then finally the writer gives out a list
of what the public can do to fight against the pet overpopulation. The author arranged his
case around a sample study on collecting data on pet animals that are being tested with

According to Arluke the officers are telling their emotional experiences dealing with
animal abused and how their character changes. The author noted that the officers are
getting calls about the cases of animal abuse they have to show up to investigate.
Depending to the case of the situation if they have to take away the pet from the owner
because they are suffering abuse. The officers give out an ticket to the people that are
abusing their pet and if it was real serious situation then they would have to arrest straight
to court. The process is in the prospective of the rookie police officers on what their
emotion are being translated into the report during when they do their job. At the end you

Macintyre emphasized that the problem of farming is to make things different to gain
more money and they abuse chickens during the way. The author acknowledges that the
chickens are suddenly being populated into a small area of farm. The farmers are now
feeding, treating, and maintaining the chickens in a un-humane manner way to a point
where they got the chickens creating a new disease. These disease are created because the
farmers are force stacking chickens in one spot and that causes disease easier to go from
one chicken and when the chicken are butchered for people to eat. The subject gets

created are being passed around. It also talks about the threats that these chickens bring to
the world health on spreading diseases and effecting the people. The research is a types of

The author stresses how the industrial food animal production (IFAP) is a growing threat
to those living around the spreading bacteria, fungi, and virus from nearby water. The
writer reminds us how people dump antibiotic resistance into the environment. Antibiotic
is an substance that kill bacteria and can stop bacteria from growing, but it also

suppresses the natural environment minerals and metal. It is bad because farmers give the
animals of production antibiotics into their system to stimulate their growth. This is really
bad because of around millions of production animals have anti biotics and humans
consume these animals. The production animals aren’t the only thing that are
contaminated the waters are also contaminated with antibiotics. The substance that the
humans consume are contaminated with chemical or infectious agents. The risk are huge
because it can have many different symptoms are the depending on chemical and the

The authors presents how irresponsible owners let their dog go in the street and let the
dogs mate causing overpopulation. The author talked to these owners men and women on
causes of animal overpopulation in their community. Each owner took a survey stating
their opinion on what they feel for the animal overpopulation and asking way to prevent
animal overpopulation. The paper has a table say what the owners and non-owners feel
about animal overpopulation. The where ask about the differences cases that are
reasonable to the causes that lead to overpopulation. The studies show that non-pet
owners are least likely to say that irresponsible owners are the reason why the theirs

The author states that animal overpopulation has gone out of control bringing problems
with it as well, police is putting ways to face this problem. The author noted that animals
are separated from unwanted animals and uncontrolled animals. Unwanted animals are
obviously owners not wanting their pets, and they have an easier solution to do with
them. The unwanted pets would be sold to a new owner and if it wasn’t the owner should
pay for animal shelter to take care and maintain the pet. The uncontrolled dog are more of
a problem because if stray they need to be kept off the streets because of bacteria that it
might spread and the main problem that stray dog have is that they can reproduce
offspring. The main problem that the community issues are in the shelter because of the
animal control have a limited budget to actually do their job. The control center do have
some power but what would restrict them would be the budget for them to actually do
their job. The author observation of a city animal shelter on how they deal with
overpopulated animals and how handle situation with a limited amount of money.

or a future dog owner to the risk of having a dog, and the diseases and the bacteria that
the dogs could bring to the humans. To Winkler, the data suggest an assumption on how
people died from the dog bites from the cases that actually been recorded.
