The Problem of Unwanted Pets: A Case Study in How Institutions“Think” about Clients’
NeedsLESLIE IRVINE, University of Colorado at BoulderThe research on organizational framing
and the metaphor of institutional “thinking” highlight the waysthat social problems organizations
shape the ameliorative services they deliver. Social problems work then per-petuates
representations of problems that may not match the conditions clients face. This study
extends socialproblems literature to argue that organizations sometimes “think” differently about
the problems they intend tosolve than do persons involved with these problems in everyday
life. Using ethnographic research and inter-views, this article contrasts the way in which
animal sheltering, as an institution, frames the problem ofunwanted animals with how the
public interprets that problem. Institutional “thinking” portrays pets as com-mitments for life,
and shelters thus strive to offer resources that allow people to keep their animals in
theirhomes. However, interviews reveal that most people simply want troublesome animals out
of their homes. Thismismatch of intentions sheds new light on the complexities of
claims-making and social problems work. Inparticular, the “paradox of popularization”
means that efforts to gain public support for definitions of socialproblems often ignore or
exacerbate aspects of problems that do not fit institutional frames.

The pet industry experienced manufacturing challenges, including disrupted consumption


patterns and increased demand, worker safety protocols, a shortage of employees and spot
shortages in packaging, which put the market in limbo in the first half of 2020. However, sales
growth numbers driven by consumer demand and the non-discretionary nature of some pet
products allowed the industry to make a steep comeback in the latter half of the year.
Supply chain shortages and delays for imported pet products began in February 2020, King
shared, Demand surged in May and has stayed in the double digits. Still today, ground
transportation equipment shortages, a lack of available containers, container price hikes and
jammed ports are causing supply chain issues for imports that are likely to continue in 2021
“and into the first part of 2022,” King said.

He also shared that fill rates, which have been significantly impacted by COVID-19, are not
likely to improve in the short term.

Regardless of these challenges, Powers declared distributor business was “strong and steady.”
Both distributors and retailers adopted new ways to connect with each other, their industry
partners and consumers to continue offering high-quality product in the marketplace.

Nowadays, people are busy in their daily life and having a lot of stress from their working area.
Most of them would like to have a pet to accompany them in their daily life and also can release
the stress that they received. For example, having a dog is a good choice for most people who
want to have a pet. Dog not only a very good companions and also having deep emotional tie
between people. Dogs will protect the people with literally lay down their lives.

Having a dog as a pet help the owner stay connected with the social life. The owner needs to
bring their pet go out for exercise, take the pet to visit the pet groomer and also having the
veterinary checkups for their pet. All of these need the owner to communicate with others and
involved themselves in the social activities. [1] Besides that, people can get more friends with
those who having the same habit which is taking their pet go out for some exercise and
activities.

Moreover, nowadays people who live in the city are lonelier than people who live in the town.
Most of them having the working stress, their communicate problems with other people and all
of these will make them feel lonely and no way to release their stress and loneliness. Having a
pet such as dog or cat can help them to being more cheerful in their life and easy to
communicate with other people. [2]

A review of the research finds pet store puppies are more likely to be aggressive as adults, and
considers the reasons why.

Several studies have found puppies that come from commercial breeding establishments
(CBEs) have a higher rate of behaviour problems than those from responsible breeders. A new
review by Frank McMillan looks at the evidence from seven published studies, and then turns to
the literature on puppy development to consider the possible causes of these problems.

Essentially, many different stresses at a time when puppies really need to have positive
experiences are the likely culprit.

Puppies need to have lots of positive experiences during the socialization period (from 3 until 12
– 16 weeks) to help prepare them for later life. If they are in a commercial breeding
establishment, it is not preparing them for life in a family home. But puppies from commercial
breeders are also exposed to other sources of stress that may negatively impact their
behaviour.
Puppies sold in pet stores are typically sourced via a broker, and come from large commercial
breeding establishments. They are often referred to as puppy mills or puppy farms, because
they are like battery farms for dogs.

Commercial breeding establishments vary a lot, and while some are clean, others are dire.

McMillan writes,
“CBEs are characterized by large numbers of dogs, maximal efficiency of space by housing
dogs in or near the minimum space permitted by law, breeding dogs spending their entire
reproductive lives in their cages or runs, group and solitary housing, dogs rarely if ever
permitted out of their primary enclosures for exercise or play, no toys or enrichment,
minimal-to-no positive human interaction/companionship, and inadequate health care.
Commonly reported conditions present in many but not all CBEs include cage flooring made of
wire mesh, accumulation of feces, ammonia odor, no windows and poor ventilation, inadequate
protection from inclement weather and temperature extremes, insufficient or contaminated water
and spoiled food, serious untreated medical conditions (e.g., advanced dental disease),
extensive matting of hair, commonness and apparency of stereotypical behaviors, evidence of
starvation, and presence of deceased adult dogs and puppies.” The importance of education
Finally, McMillan points out there are no standards for the information given to puppy buyers. A
responsible breeder will want to educate prospective owners on how to care for their puppy,
whereas pet store staff may not have the knowledge or experience to do this. A couple of
studies have found educating people on how to care for their new pet makes a difference to
behaviour in the longer term, so this may be another factor that disadvantages puppies from pet
stores.

McMillan does not look at the possibility that people who get puppies from responsible breeders
may be more knowledgeable about dogs and canine behaviour. He acknowledges lack of
information about differences between homes is a possible limitation of the paper. It’s worth
noting that one of the studies included in his review (Pirrone et al 2016) did not find any effect of
owner factors, but more research is needed.

Summary
In sum, this paper finds research consistently reports puppies from pet stores / CBEs have more
behaviour problems as adult dogs, particularly in the form of aggression.

Since the studies are correlational, they do not prove causation. However, the many additional
stressors pet store puppies face provide a plausible explanation for the development of problem
behaviours.
