Humane Immigrant Rights
In modern day America there seems to be an advocate group for anything and everything you could
possibly think of. From Amnesty International all the way through to The Coalition for Humane
Immigrant Rights. Without the support and tireless action of advocate groups, many voiceless
people would (and sometimes do) fall through the cracks in the system, or are outrightly abused and
accept it because they think no one cares about them. There are groups out there that care about your
rights. One such group is called the Lacey and Larkin Frontera Fund. The organization was founded
by Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin who were arrested by Sheriff Joe Arpaio's feared "Selective
Enforcement Unit" on October 18, 2007, and taken from their homes in the middle

Animal Cruelty: The Humane Society Of The United States
"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," said Alfred A. Montapert, the author of The
Supreme Philosophy Of Man. Many animals who have given people their love have been cast off or
mistreated. The Humane Society Of The United States(HSUS) has made it their mission since 1954
to prevent this cruelty before it happens. The four founders of HSUS Helen Jones, Larry Andrews,
Marcia Glaser, and Fred Meyers, all believed in this mission. I believe that the Humane Society Of
The United States has a worthwhile and honorable mission. It is one of the best. Not only does it
save thousands of animal lives each year it also works with law enforcement to investigate illegal
animal cruelty. HSUS has more than 10 million members and uses its money wisely. If you donate
just $19 a month to HSUS you will be doing a grand service and you will join the revolution to stop

About seventy nine percent of families around the world have an animal that they love and share
their life with. Most families have either a dog or a cat. These pets are loyal, kind, and loving. We

"This is not a prank, it's not mischief, it's sexual, it's predatory, it's high risk and it's criminal."
Arntfield, a former police officer, is confident that one of the incidents – the mutilated goose that
was dropped off at the humane society – suggests the person has been to the humane society before.
Two years ago, Arntfield said he received a tip that someone was going to the London Humane
Society claiming to be a rescuer and asking to adopt animals "with the sole purpose of torturing
them and mutilating them." Arntfield told police and the humane society and urged them to examine
the adoption files. Nothing happened, he said. "This is a serial animal killer," Arntfield said, calling
it a clear case of zoosadism – being sadistic to an animal – with an underlying sexual component.
London police said they are taking the matter very seriously. Const. Sandasha Bough said the force
has assigned an investigator to the case, but noted they were only made aware of two incidents –

Trying for Humane Farming
Humane Farming When dealing with food, Americans are forced to put their trust into the food
industry. Although, there has been an increase of awareness, not enough, on how the industry grows
food, processes, and what Americans consume. The United States is riddled with food industry
immorality, obesity, and inadequate nutrition education. The government should have more control
of the food industry, beyond the mandating of Nutrition Facts labels. In order to enhance the life
quality of Americans, the government should partake in a more significant role with food industry
regulation. With the modernization of the United States over the last decades, companies are
manufacturing food rather than farming. Industrial farming, also known as factory farming, is an
abusive and inhumane way of raising animals. The amount of food these farm factories are mass–
producing is not the issue, instead, the quality of food needs to improve. The nation contains over
hundreds of millions of people that need to be fed, the right way. The government needs to make
sure the nation's health is not at risk and properly manage the way food is made. According to
makers of the movie Food Inc., food producers and the government seem to disregard the concern of
safety of their facilities and produce, and the health of consumers. The food business just wants to
create lavish sums of food at extremely low prices. This will maximize profits and keep money

The Pros And Cons Of Animal Testing
What would you do if you were forced to live in filthy conditions, subjected to various tortures and
horrifying ordeals? This is the life of an animal kept as a tool for scientific research. The debate over
human animal testing has been ongoing for many years, starting as early as the 19th century.
However, animal testing has been recorded as early as 500 BC, and has been practiced ever since.
People have been advocating for more humane practices for animal testing since the 19th century,
when Queen Victoria publicly displayed her disgust at these practices. Scientists should not continue
animal testing because there are alternatives that are safer for the animals, the treatment of said
animals has been shown to be inhumane, and the testing done on some of these animals does not
even translate to humans. First off, there are many different alternatives to animal testing, and as
such it can be voided altogether. One way to avoid animal testing is to use in vitro testing. In vitro
testing is testing "within the glass." This means that the tests are done outside of the whole living
organism. This is a safer alternative because it does not directly affect the animal at hand, and
therefore the animal does not suffer. Another alternative is microdosing. Microdosing is the process
in which humans are given an extremely small dosage of the product at hand. With the incredibly
small dosage, the whole body is not affected, but the response can be observed at a cellular level.

Animal Shelters In The United States
Approximately 6 to 8 million animals are handled by animal shelters in the U.S. each year. Even
though some are reclaimed or adopted, nearly 4 million unwanted dogs and cats are left with
nowhere to go. Animal shelters cannot humanely house and support all these animals until their
natural deaths. They would be forced to live in cramped cages or kennels for years, lonely and
stressed, and other animals would have to be turned away because there would be no room for them.
Trying to build enough animal shelters to keep up with the endless stream of homeless animals is

Euthanasia is sort of weird that way. I have seen totally objective (and even outright callous) pet
owners simply drop off their pet for euthanasia with no more respect or empathy than a robot. I have
never been able to understand this type of pet owner who seems to be saying "When you're dead,
you're dead". Sort of like euthanasia is no big deal. However, they can still comfort or simply be
with their pet at the time of euthanasia; and yet for their own reasons they choose to separate
themselves from the final moments of their pet's life. Maybe we humans are so close to our pets that
we somehow project our own humanity and mortality into them and we actually see ourselves at our
own last moments. Do some pet owners act out how they think they would view their own passing?
On the other hand, I have witnessed seemingly strong, objective individuals that seem to be
somewhat cold and distant who completely fall apart at the time of their pet's passing. The theme to
keep in mind, then, as you contemplate how YOU will act at your pet's final moments is to
remember that euthanasia is a completely personal experience. You have to decide what is best for
you and your pet. I have had people actually say to me "I am sorry, Doctor, but I don't know how to

drowning them like a massive wave swallowing an unsuspecting sandcastle. As one begins to adapt,
the different barks become audible. The hound's low, prolonged bark resonates deep within one's
chest like the vibration of a tuning fork. The small dog's high pitched yapping is easily discernible

Rhetorical Analysis Of The Humane Society Of The United...
The Humane Society of the United States, HSUS, has released many commercials to show the
terrible conditions that some animals are subject to live in. These commercials also promote the
need for people to adopt from shelters, and give these animals a second chance at a better life. This
commercial in particular shows singer, and 3rd place contestant on "The Voice", Christina Grimmie,
playing the piano, and singing her version of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero". As she sings,
many pictures and videos of animals being rescued from their terrible conditions play on a screen
behind her. This commercial definitely pulls on the heart strings of animal–lovers by using the
rhetoric devices of ethos, pathos, and logos in a very subtle, yet precise way. The first use of rhetoric
that is seen is at the start of the commercial. The commercial opens by simply showing the symbol
for the Humane Society of the United States, which is the shape of the United States made up of
animals. It then shows the animals being rescued by the teams of people that work for the HSUS.
Every worker is wearing a shirt with the HSUS logo on it. Opening up with their symbol, and
showing the pictures and videos of the recues with workers wearing HSUS attire establishes their
good use of ethos. When a person watches this commercial, they see that the Humane Society of the

Whaling has become a global environmental issue as vast numbers of whales are killed

1.0 Background
To provide an overview of the whaling dispute, definition of whaling activities and moratorium will
be explained in details, complementary with the overall history of whaling activities in various
nations.
1.1 Definition of whaling
Whaling is defined as hunting and killing of whales by humans for resources, mainly meat, blubber
and baleen (whalebone) obtained from whales. These resources are then sold for commercial
purposes and thus, whaling has become economical important for centuries (Joanne 2007; The
Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia 2007). Scientific whaling is conducted by hunting whales for
research purposes and further analysis to study on whale's behaviour, characteristics and distribution
(Joanne 2007). Commercial whaling is a controversial whaling practice that exploits whale products
for trade and profit. Recently, Japan, Norway and Iceland are the major contributors of commercial
whaling and deeply support any other whaling activities (Joanne 2007). Moratorium on commercial
whaling 1986 is a global ban of hunting whales for commercial purposes, implemented by
International Whaling Commission (IWC). Under Article VIII, unlimited scientific research is
permitted but sufficient data and analysis are required by Science Committee set up by IWC
(Papastavrou 2006).

The Ink Bridge Humane
To be humane is to show compassion and to be willing to put others first, this can be difficult during
times of struggle. A young boy named Omed from Neil Grant's novel, 'The Ink Bridge' is
compassionate, even when faced with the hard struggles that an asylum seeker has. Omed expresses
in many ways how he is humane, but he also suffers a great deal. There are suggestions that he starts
to lose his humanity, but there is also evidence that he retains his humane quality all throughout the
novel.
Through his thoughts and actions, it is clear that Omed is humane. Young Omed cares for the people
around him throughout the early part of the novel, he knows what is best for them, especially his
family, "She pushed the notes into his hand...Omed shook his head and pushed the money away.
This would end his family." (Page 13) Omed is told to take the family's savings to escape from the

Taliban and surviving meant that he was a target for them, they want to kill him. Omed escapes

his time in a detention centre, he looked outside of the fence and saw some wildlife, "They stared at

It's important because if the animals would of been kept in the wild then they probably wouldn't of
survived. "A zoo provides a protected environment for endangered animals" (Vittana 2). This quote
is important because there are several animals which are poached frequently because of certain
items. Having a zoo provides these animals with a safer place to live because they are behind
multiple levels of protection. Although poachers have been able to break into zoos to take animals in
the past, this is not a frequent occurrence and is normally not successful when it does occur. Another
reason the treatment of animals in zoos is humane is the health and the survival of the animals.
"Veterinary care is readily available at most zoos" (Vittana 4). Many zoos have what is referred to as
a "treatment room". This is the place where an animal can be brought in for an examination so that's
good health can be maintained. Veterinarians are no longer working on their own in these facilities
either. Treatment teams include pathologists, technicians, zookeepers, and other specialists who can

In captivity, they can only swim around in circles, instead of swimming miles and miles each day, so
they do not get nearly enough exercise. Dolphins often go insane from the huge adjustment to living
in a very small space. In captivity, dolphins are not able to hunt for their food like they are in the
wild, and they are fed fish that are already dead. Dr. Lori Marino explains, "they really enjoy the
opportunity to collaborate with each other and catch prey and travel with their companions" (Dr.
Lori Marino). This stimulation is taken away when dolphins are in captivity. Also, dolphins are
forced to spend most of their time at the surface of the tank because tanks are not nearly as deep as
the ocean. Dolphins "spend more than half their time at the tank's surface"(The Humane Society).
This can cause dolphins to obtain skin problems. Dolphins can also get skin problems from the large
amount of chlorine in the tank because they are not used to it. Living in such a small in captivity
tank can cause dolphins a lot of harm because they are meant to live in the large ocean.
In captivity, most dolphins get split up from their family and are forced to live alone, or with other
dolphins that they do not know. According to the Humane Society, "It is almost impossible to
maintain a family group in captivity" (The Humane Society). Dolphins tend to live in pods when

The Overpopulation Of The Ohio Valley
In the United States, about 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters every year. The
overpopulation of these animals and the fact that they have no homes leads to about 40% of them
being euthanized (ASPCA). This is a global issue, but the root of it can be found within the local
community at The Humane Society of the Ohio Valley.
The director of this animal shelter, Kelly Goedel, says that the cause of animal homelessness is
primarily the lack of spaying and neutering along with the lack of commitment that pet owners have
to their companion (Goedel). Spaying and neutering is sometimes avoided by pet owners because it
is an extra expense or they may feel as if it is unnecessary. This challenge leads to an excess in
animal populations without there necessarily being and increase in homes for these animals. The
challenge of overcoming pet overpopulation becomes even more difficult because of a lack of
funding. According to the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley, only about 20 percent of their
funding comes from local government (Goedel). Therefore, they are very reliant on donors and
community funds to help finance their organization. The funding issue circles back to complicate
the process of getting homeless pets spayed and neutered to attempt to solve the root cause of
animal overpopulation.
The basis of our project was to raise funds and awareness for the HSOV. We wanted to reach out to
as many people as we could so we can spread the issue of the shelters.

bleeding out cows to use their blood instead of stage blood on the actors. Both the film's producer,
Joanne Carelli and the head wrangler, Ugland claim that the allegations were false. With all of this a
lawsuit came out, the owner of one of the horses filed against the producers, the director and

seventy–four percent of their profits to provide for animals in need, while the other twenty–six

Literary Devices In The Hunger Games And The Road
Oftentimes when reading books set in the middle of societal unrest or deterioration, we find the
characters struggling with difficult, and sometimes impossible, decisions. These types of decisions
delve into an individual's sense of humanity. At what point will their actions carry them over the line
they thought they would never cross? How do you preserve your humanity when everyone else
around you have compromised their own? In The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Road
by Cormac McCarthy the theme of preserving your humanity amidst an inhumane society is carried
throughout the narration. The argument can be made that when leaders begin crossing the line and
losing the basic humanity of protecting life, society as a whole falls in line.
There are many different literary devices that are used in writing to enhance a theme or to carry
those themes throughout a storyline. In The Hunger Games and The Road, irony is used in bringing
attention to the theme of humanity and carrying it from beginning to the end of the novels. It is used
in writing to contrast between "what is expected or understood and what actually happens or is
meant" (Puchner i). In The Road, McCarthy uses irony to show the difference between what we
would expect from a humane perspective and how those left have fallen so far from those
expectations. One instance of this irony occurred when the father and son observed two men and a
pregnant woman traveling on the road. Later, when these travelers were

San Diego Humane Society Case Study
Increasing the San Diego Humane Society's Adaptive Capacity The San Diego Humane Society
(SDHS) has recently become one of the largest animal sheltering organizations in the nation. The
recent mergers with four other San Diego county animal welfare organizations within the last six
years have brought about adaptive challenges. Furthermore, three of the four mergers have occurred
within the last year. One such major adaptive challenge is with its inability to effectively
communicate with all members of its organization. A noticeable lack of communication is currently
occurring possibly due to the organization's inability to maintain its culture of teamwork during the
restructuring, which demonstrates characteristics of an adaptive issue. ... Show more content on

(2009) building an adaptive culture will require organizations to institutionalize the five previously
mentioned adaptive capacity characteristics. Here are some suggestions to improve SDHS' lack of
teamwork: First, elephants in the room must be named, and it will need to start at the executive
level. Heifetz et, al. (2009) suggest "modeling the behavior," which can have a powerful impact
because leaders are expected to set the tone. Current issues need to be openly addressed by seeking
and encouraging advice from all members of the organization. This can be done by assigning new
middle managers to link the workers and volunteers with the executives. Fixing "elephants in the
room" issue will also help "shared responsibility" and "independent judgment" by allowing input
from all levels. The "developing leadership capacity" should be done by going back to the basics.
According to Crowley (2013) the basics include; getting people in the right job, setting clear
expectations, giving people the tools to do their job, and giving high praises. Therefore, it is
suggested that competent middle managers and executives should conduct daily training, coaching,
and mentoring. Constant training behavior should be institutionalized across the organization.
Additionally, previously successful aspects from the newly merged organizations should be
incorporated. Finally, promoting teamwork will require the organization to set up informal group

The Service Learning Project At The Alachua County Humane...
This paper describes Carly's service learning project in which she spent twenty hours volunteering
at the Alachua County Humane Society (ACHS). She worked with dogs and cats, caring for them
until they were adopted into forever homes. She also formed relationships with fellow volunteers,
specifically one from the same Family, Youth, and Community Sciences (FYCS) program at the
University of Florida. In this paper, Carly's feelings about the service learning in which she
participated will be discussed, as well as how her actions in helping animals find homes benefitted
the community. The benefits of her actions are backed up with research done by Dr. James E. Gern

The Dairy Industry Is Humane
Lillie Colville Honors English 10 Period 2 March 12, 2016 The Dairy Industry is Humane The
agriculture industry, focusing on the dairy cattle industry, in the U.S.A. is humane and non–abusive.
The Dairy Industry raises, breeds, and milks female dairy cattle. The cows are either bought from
calf farms or born at the dairy in which they are raised to be about one or two years old until they
are bred by a bull of their same breed. Then, once the heifers give birth, they are put into the milking
process. According to "How much milk do cows give?", these cows will produce anywhere from
18,000 pounds of milk per year to a record breaking 72,000 pounds per year. America has the fourth
highest average milk production records which is 21, 335 pounds per year as of 2015(1). These
cows are milked twice a day during their "fresh period" which is the 10 months after having a calf in
which they are being milked. The cows then rest for two months and are bred and milked for
another 10 months. Overall, milking cows in America live in the dairy industry for about six or
seven years until they die naturally or are killed off due to being not profitable to the dairy world.
Animals are used in the agricultural commodity industry due to their uses and lack of rights.
Animal's rights are lower than human's rights due to the fact that animals brains are not as
developed as humans and cannot express feelings; however, animals have basic rights to life and
care from man (Rohr 20). Animals have

The Benefits Of The Humane Society
The Humane Society began in America in 1954 with the goal of ending animal cruelty. The multiple
founders were trying to save many animals and get society to end abuse to animals. A question often

help of pets in therapy homes or a support for the mentally ill. Humane Society's play many roles in
the community as it not only holds the animals that have no homes, it offers a place for community
members to give back and volunteer. Giving your time to an organization like this has proved to be
beneficial as people see how good they really have it, and it brings out the go good, feel good in an
everyday person.
Humane Society popularity has been growing rapidly in the past decade, but the nation as a whole
does not know enough. The benefit that the humane society plays in society is large, as they keep
animals off the streets and alive, but also gives community members an opportunity to volunteer.
These animals reported usually are friendly and can help in society as therapy dogs or just an
everyday pet. The benefits of the Humane Society are abundant and the founder had a great cause.

How does it affect the food we eat? Is it humane? Would you want to live near a CAFO? What will

question, are they humane? In 2005 they killed 27 million hogs. They stuff 500,000 hogs in one
farm. Forty full–grown male hogs in one pin the size of a small apartment. Where they don't even
have enough room to move. The conditions they make them live in are also horrible. There's no

They feed their animals with more than 24 million pounds a year. Also consuming almost 70% of

lode the hogs up with antibiotics just so it can make it to the slaughterhouse were they can kill it
legally. So when you're sick the longer it's going to take to feel better. Now the safety of their
workers. There have been many stories of people dying out at Smithfield, with people falling into
the lagoons and dying to the toxic fumes, to having all the side effect of this job. Most Smithfield
worker experience bronchitis, asthma, heart palpitations, headaches, nosebleeds, and brain damage.
They must get paid a lot to work there, because there's no other reason I would. Which leads in to

a Smithfield spray field. Charlotte was once standing in the kitchen, and saw Julian collapse in the
yard. She ran out there and threw a coat over his head, then brought him inside. He now has
respiratory problems, and rarely goes outside. There are many cons to factory farming. As you read

Humane Agriculture Myth
"Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." Many believe in this myth called "humane
agriculture," yet they've never truly known what the definition of that is. The fact is, there is no such
thing as "humane agriculture" because it is impossible to humanely rape or caringly slit the throat of
a conscious living animal. Although many meat–eaters have argued that eating dead animal flesh
from a cow is nutritious, closer examination shows it is especially bad for the cows that suffer
excruciating pain. When untouched cows first arrive on a factory farm they are forced to be marked.

Persuasive Essay On Pet Animals
I have had pets, specially cats, since the day I was born. Some of these cats my family bought from
a family with a litter of kittens they needed to get rid of. Others we got from humane societies. Over
the years, I have had 6 different pet cats, not all at once of course. The most memorable were the
ones that were rescued from a shelter because we saved them from the lonely, tiny cages that they
were forced to live in day in and day out. As we were looking for the most recent additions, I grew
tired of looking in shelters, not because it was time consuming finding the right one, but because of
all the sad faces that stared back at me from the cages. Adopting and rescuing is the better option
when it comes to adding a pet to the family. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Some people may think that only sick animals are in shelters or that shelter animals aren't healthy
enough to adopt, but that's not true. There are sick animals, but they are treated for their illnesses by
veterinarians and watched carefully by volunteers and staff. They are not eligible for adoption until
they pass their vet exam. No matter where you get your pet from, whether it be breeder or shelter,
there is a chance they could get sick at some point in their life.
The adopter will benefit by seeing their new family member thrive and watching their personality
emerge. They will also feel the sense of having saved a life because in a way they did. Older
animals spend approximately 4 times more time in shelters than younger ones, which may make
adopting an older animal seem pointless because you may only get to have them for a few years, but
if you do it, you are giving an animal the most amazing end to their lives and a good home to live
out their golden years in (Madrone). They may even surprise you by living longer than they are
expected to. Adopting an animal from a shelter is also cheaper in the long run. Animals from
shelters are spayed or neutered before they can be adopted. They have also likely visited the vet to
get shots and make sure they are generally in good health. They are usually microchipped. If you
were to buy an animal elsewhere, you would have to pay for all those things yourself, on top of the

Every year animals are being mistreated, getting abused, and being left alone to die. When someone
volunteers to help out he or she could save an animal's life. The shelter is not funded very much
from the government to maintain their stability. They are having a tough time holding down the
business, paying all employees, and housing and feeding every animal that walks through that door.
That is why the staff is pleased with generous volunteers. On their website it states "However,
TLHS primarily relies on funding from donations and fundraisers to help house, feed and care for
the 6,000 animals per year who enter our facility" (About TLHS). Business hours at the shelter are
anywhere from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. on Tuesday's – Saturday's. If one decides to volunteer he or she
has to be 16 years and younger with a parent or guardian's nearby, or he or she can be 17 years and
older with no more than a parent or guardian's signature. Tasks at the shelter include: walking the
dogs, interacting with the cats, cleaning their beds and laying out fresh newspaper, and as well as
washing their food bowls/dishes. Also 'Save a Pet. Spenser a Pet. Name a Pet' is a great way to care
for an animal if transportation to the shelter is out of the question. All someone would have to do is
donate $75.00 for a dog or $45.00 for a cat; when doing so he or she will receive the honor to name
the pet they sponsored. The money that person donated covers the shots that the animal will need
and spaying/neutering the animal. If someone does makes the decision to volunteer he or she can

Over 30,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year (Pancreatic Cancer 1). The

To be truly considered physician–assisted suicide, the injection, while taken in the presence of a
medical professional, must be delivered by the patient. This injection is typically given a few weeks
to months before natural death would occur, allowing the patient to not have to suffer the worst
stages of their disease (Dixon). Currently in America, physician–assisted suicide is only legal in the
states of Oregon, Montana, Washington, Vermont, California, Colorado and Washington D.C. While
pain to the body is extreme during the later stages of pancreatic cancer, pain to the mind is even
greater. As the disease progresses and the body breaks down, the quality of life a person has is
nowhere near what they once had. They need help doing the simplest things, such as going to the
bathroom or getting dressed. For a person who just a few months earlier was completely healthy,
this change can be unbearable. These patients shouldn't be forced to live trapped inside a decaying
body. There are some things worse than death (Beauchamp 3) It is not only the patient who is helped
by physician–assisted suicide; the families of the sufferers are also spared. It is a sad truth that
ninety–five percent of pancreatic cancer patients are killed by the disease (Pancreatic Cancer 2).

By adopting and rescuing animals from the Humane Societies, you are essentially saving their life.
II. Adopting a pet from the Humane Society, does not only benefit the animal, but it also benefits
you as well.
A. Pet stores are usually there to make money selling their animals, so their price is guaranteed to be
much higher than the adoption fee at your local shelter.
1. Adoption costs include more than just the price of the animal. The amount of money you pay at
an animal shelter covers neutering, and any vaccinations or treatments that may be required to keep
your new pet well and healthy.
2. Adoption also greatly benefits the animal, and it can also have a very positive influence on your
own life.
3. In the process of choosing to adopt from a shelter, you may find your new best friend or the
newest addition to your family. Whether it is a fluffy cat, a lap dog, or any pet, it can add something
to your life that you had been missing your whole life.

Association does not give animals a "time limit" for being put down. Some shelters in Missoula, for

shelters are very loving and sweet, and deserve a little more time to adjust. At no kill shelters, such

Humane Immigrant Rights

  • 1. Humane Immigrant Rights In modern day America there seems to be an advocate group for anything and everything you could possibly think of. From Amnesty International all the way through to The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. Without the support and tireless action of advocate groups, many voiceless people would (and sometimes do) fall through the cracks in the system, or are outrightly abused and accept it because they think no one cares about them. There are groups out there that care about your rights. One such group is called the Lacey and Larkin Frontera Fund. The organization was founded by Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin who were arrested by Sheriff Joe Arpaio's feared "Selective Enforcement Unit" on October 18, 2007, and taken from their homes in the middle ...

It is important to know and keep in mind that all animals have feelings and emotions just as much as a human does. One of the biggest questions that comes to mind when thinking about animal testing is : Is there any way at all that animal can be completely ethical and non harmful for animals? Just by seeing reactions of animals who are only being touched by a person can say a lot .Most of the time if there is a stray animal and a person approaches it the dog will flinch and or back away immediately.

  • 3. Animal Cruelty: The Humane Society Of The United States "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," said Alfred A. Montapert, the author of The Supreme Philosophy Of Man. Many animals who have given people their love have been cast off or mistreated. The Humane Society Of The United States(HSUS) has made it their mission since 1954 to prevent this cruelty before it happens. The four founders of HSUS Helen Jones, Larry Andrews, Marcia Glaser, and Fred Meyers, all believed in this mission. I believe that the Humane Society Of The United States has a worthwhile and honorable mission. It is one of the best. Not only does it save thousands of animal lives each year it also works with law enforcement to investigate illegal animal cruelty. HSUS has more than 10 million members and uses its money wisely. If you donate just $19 a month to HSUS you will be doing a grand service and you will join the revolution to stop animal cruelty before it happens. You will be a part of preventing some of the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... About seventy nine percent of families around the world have an animal that they love and share their life with. Most families have either a dog or a cat. These pets are loyal, kind, and loving. We bring them into our homes and take care of them. There are some animals who aren't fortunate enough to have a family to love and take care of them. These animals are abused and mistreated every day. The Humane Society Of The United States has made it their job to protect these animals and prevent this cruelty before it happens. They spend eighty percent of all of their donations on protecting these poor animals. I believe that these animals deserve a chance to escape these horrible circumstances and find a family who will love and care for them. If you donate you will be a part of these animals lives.

  • 4. Corntfield Humane CANADA – A Series of distributing incidents involving the butchering of animals have been discovered in Ontario, Canada According to the London Humane Society's executive director, Judy Foster, "Over the last year there have been at least eight incidents involving 17 dead animals, including a skinned and beheaded bunny found on the Western University campus, a mutilated cat found in a park, six dead coyotes – two of them headless and skinned – placed in a pose in three different locations, and seven dead snakes left in a strange pose." "A stabbed and partially skinned goose was dropped off at the humane society's front door" Foster said. Last week, police in London, Ont., responded to a report of a headless dog found on top of a recycling ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... "This is not a prank, it's not mischief, it's sexual, it's predatory, it's high risk and it's criminal." Arntfield, a former police officer, is confident that one of the incidents – the mutilated goose that was dropped off at the humane society – suggests the person has been to the humane society before. Two years ago, Arntfield said he received a tip that someone was going to the London Humane Society claiming to be a rescuer and asking to adopt animals "with the sole purpose of torturing them and mutilating them." Arntfield told police and the humane society and urged them to examine the adoption files. Nothing happened, he said. "This is a serial animal killer," Arntfield said, calling it a clear case of zoosadism – being sadistic to an animal – with an underlying sexual component. London police said they are taking the matter very seriously. Const. Sandasha Bough said the force has assigned an investigator to the case, but noted they were only made aware of two incidents – two dead coyotes found by a grocery store last February and the beheaded dog last week. The London police best get their act together very soon, if they believe this sick bastard who ever he or she is will simply stop they are as delerious as this killer ...

  • 5. Trying for Humane Farming Humane Farming When dealing with food, Americans are forced to put their trust into the food industry. Although, there has been an increase of awareness, not enough, on how the industry grows food, processes, and what Americans consume. The United States is riddled with food industry immorality, obesity, and inadequate nutrition education. The government should have more control of the food industry, beyond the mandating of Nutrition Facts labels. In order to enhance the life quality of Americans, the government should partake in a more significant role with food industry regulation. With the modernization of the United States over the last decades, companies are manufacturing food rather than farming. Industrial farming, also known as factory farming, is an abusive and inhumane way of raising animals. The amount of food these farm factories are mass– producing is not the issue, instead, the quality of food needs to improve. The nation contains over hundreds of millions of people that need to be fed, the right way. The government needs to make sure the nation's health is not at risk and properly manage the way food is made. According to makers of the movie Food Inc., food producers and the government seem to disregard the concern of safety of their facilities and produce, and the health of consumers. The food business just wants to create lavish sums of food at extremely low prices. This will maximize profits and keep money rotating in the market. Director Robert Kenner of ...

  • 6. What Are Zoo's Humane? Zoo's are a subject that has quickly become a hot topic. With the recent tragedies regarding Harambee. It has put the thought in many citizens minds, Are zoo's humane? Although zoo's have been put under the spotlight lately, due to nothing less than bad publicity. Zoo's are a main staple for many different types of cultures. There are few people who can say that they have never been to a zoo, or that when they went they did not enjoy the experience going to the zoo granted them. Going to these animal enclosure gives people the opportunity to see animals from all around the world otherwise they may have never had the chance to see. People visit zoos on a daily basis all across the world to become more familiar with how the animals interact and how they live. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Zoos give children the ability to both learn and see the interaction between the animals and the zookeepers. Zoos across the world are open to teach people the importance of animal conservation by witnessing how the animals react. Zoos can make a huge impact on children as well as adults by providing them with beneficial information about the animals in the zoos across the world. Even though incidents happen inside zoos it doesn't give people the ability to contradict that zoos are determined to close down. When I was a kid, I used to love to go to the zoo because animals were always my favorite and I was anxious to learn more about them. When going to New Orleans I would always make my mom take me to the Audubon zoo, because I always enjoyed going and watching the interactions with the pets and the zookeepers.

  • 7. The Pros And Cons Of Animal Testing What would you do if you were forced to live in filthy conditions, subjected to various tortures and horrifying ordeals? This is the life of an animal kept as a tool for scientific research. The debate over human animal testing has been ongoing for many years, starting as early as the 19th century. However, animal testing has been recorded as early as 500 BC, and has been practiced ever since. People have been advocating for more humane practices for animal testing since the 19th century, when Queen Victoria publicly displayed her disgust at these practices. Scientists should not continue animal testing because there are alternatives that are safer for the animals, the treatment of said animals has been shown to be inhumane, and the testing done on some of these animals does not even translate to humans. First off, there are many different alternatives to animal testing, and as such it can be voided altogether. One way to avoid animal testing is to use in vitro testing. In vitro testing is testing "within the glass." This means that the tests are done outside of the whole living organism. This is a safer alternative because it does not directly affect the animal at hand, and therefore the animal does not suffer. Another alternative is microdosing. Microdosing is the process in which humans are given an extremely small dosage of the product at hand. With the incredibly small dosage, the whole body is not affected, but the response can be observed at a cellular level. This ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Animal Shelters In The United States Approximately 6 to 8 million animals are handled by animal shelters in the U.S. each year. Even though some are reclaimed or adopted, nearly 4 million unwanted dogs and cats are left with nowhere to go. Animal shelters cannot humanely house and support all these animals until their natural deaths. They would be forced to live in cramped cages or kennels for years, lonely and stressed, and other animals would have to be turned away because there would be no room for them. Trying to build enough animal shelters to keep up with the endless stream of homeless animals is like putting a bandage on a gunshot wound. Turning unwanted animals loose to roam the streets is not a humane option, either. If they don't starve, freeze, get hit by a car, or ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Euthanasia is sort of weird that way. I have seen totally objective (and even outright callous) pet owners simply drop off their pet for euthanasia with no more respect or empathy than a robot. I have never been able to understand this type of pet owner who seems to be saying "When you're dead, you're dead". Sort of like euthanasia is no big deal. However, they can still comfort or simply be with their pet at the time of euthanasia; and yet for their own reasons they choose to separate themselves from the final moments of their pet's life. Maybe we humans are so close to our pets that we somehow project our own humanity and mortality into them and we actually see ourselves at our own last moments. Do some pet owners act out how they think they would view their own passing? On the other hand, I have witnessed seemingly strong, objective individuals that seem to be somewhat cold and distant who completely fall apart at the time of their pet's passing. The theme to keep in mind, then, as you contemplate how YOU will act at your pet's final moments is to remember that euthanasia is a completely personal experience. You have to decide what is best for you and your pet. I have had people actually say to me "I am sorry, Doctor, but I don't know how to act right now". Most people really have had no euthanasia guidelines to follow, had no firm ground on which to stand ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. Longmont Humane Description With nearly 3,000 adoptions each year the Longmont Humane Society in Longmont, Colorado is a magnificent animal shelter to adopt from, however, behind the scenes is a completely different story. The Longmont Humane Society has an overwhelming environment, dangerous situations, and emotionally draining events. As a result, this shelter negatively impacts the physical and emotional well–being of it's employees. Even though the Longmont Humane Society has glass walls to provide an enjoyable view for it's clients, from the employee's perspective it is a chaotic environment that is difficult for anyone to handle. Upon entering one is immediately immersed into the deafening chorus of barking dogs, drowning them like a massive wave swallowing an unsuspecting sandcastle. As one begins to adapt, the different barks become audible. The hound's low, prolonged bark resonates deep within one's chest like the vibration of a tuning fork. The small dog's high pitched yapping is easily discernible among sixty other canines. Over the course of the day, various smells overpower the nose, from the acidic smell of stomach bile to the ammonia laced urine. The most dreaded mess of all is the masterpiece of the finger painters. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Since the majority of dogs are wiggly, friendly, companions it's common to get into the habit of casually walking into kennels. After stepping into the kennel, a low, threatening growl is released from deep within the dog's chest. As one attempts to not convey their fear, they face the provider of this warning noticing the dog's white teeth as clear as can be. As the hound curls his lips, the hair stands erect on his back, his ears pinned to his head, and his tail tucked tightly between his legs. The continuous, unsettling growl and intense glare of his eyes is sure to rush one out of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. Fair And Humane Immigration A fair and humane immigration policy. Since the 9/11 terrorist attack took place in New York, the US has paid more attention to people crossing the borders, but are the people living in the US paying attention to what happens to good immigrants wanting a better life for their families? Put yourself in their shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the persons too. Immigrants are treated unfairly by long term detention centers, family separation, and racial discrimination. A story by Amy Backrem, an immigration journalism, interviews an immigrant woman who suffered terribly at the US border. She was caught in the US after fleeing her home and was put in an "icebox" for several days and left her and others to sleep on the floors. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 11. Civic Responsibility Project For my Civic Responsibility Project, I chose to volunteer at Paws Humane, a non–profit organization in Columbus that provides shelter for homeless pets and aides in placing them with a fit owner. Paws rescues captured strays from Animal Control and accepts owner–surrendered animals. The accepted animals range from dogs and cats of all ages to small critters, such as rabbits. Paws has a no–kill policy, so the animals not adopted remain at the shelter until they finally find a home. Unfortunately, some animals remain at the shelter longer than others; some have been at the shelter 300+ days. Paws does not only adopt out animals though; they operate a clinic next door that offers affordable spay and neutering. These surgeries are an important ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The process is very organized and easy to learn. My volunteer time is not scheduled; I could come and go as I please as long as they were open. This was perfect for me because I have a very busy schedule and could squeeze in volunteer time when I could. Tasks are not assigned, so I could go in and do what I want. Many of the dogs that I visited were extremely sweet and just wanted someone to love on them. I loved going into their room or area to sit and cuddle with them. Many enjoyed having a long belly rub, and some took naps in my lap. Other dogs were really excited to get out and play, and I enjoyed throwing the tennis ball around in the play yard for them. There is a short trail through the woods in front of the building, and most of the dogs love walking up and down it, so I would take them through there, too. I went to Paws one day and brought one of the running buddy dogs, Belle, to campus during lunch hour. My friends enjoyed playing with her, and she loved being out of the building in a new place. We took a walk around campus, and when I took her back to Paws, she was exhausted but so happy from all the fun she had. Another great part of the experience was when dogs I had played with were adopted; it was exciting to see them find their new ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 12. Rhetorical Analysis Of The Humane Society Of The United... The Humane Society of the United States, HSUS, has released many commercials to show the terrible conditions that some animals are subject to live in. These commercials also promote the need for people to adopt from shelters, and give these animals a second chance at a better life. This commercial in particular shows singer, and 3rd place contestant on "The Voice", Christina Grimmie, playing the piano, and singing her version of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero". As she sings, many pictures and videos of animals being rescued from their terrible conditions play on a screen behind her. This commercial definitely pulls on the heart strings of animal–lovers by using the rhetoric devices of ethos, pathos, and logos in a very subtle, yet precise way. The first use of rhetoric that is seen is at the start of the commercial. The commercial opens by simply showing the symbol for the Humane Society of the United States, which is the shape of the United States made up of animals. It then shows the animals being rescued by the teams of people that work for the HSUS. Every worker is wearing a shirt with the HSUS logo on it. Opening up with their symbol, and showing the pictures and videos of the recues with workers wearing HSUS attire establishes their good use of ethos. When a person watches this commercial, they see that the Humane Society of the United States is an organization that is built around the belief that animals want, and need to be cared for and loved.

  • 13. Colorado Springs Adoption Case Study The general goal of the Humane Society Colorado Springs, is to eliminate the cruelty and suffering of animals. In a quest to keep animals safe and in places where they are treated with love and care, they possess a rescue and adoption program. It is a big and important decision to make the decision about bringing an adopted pet into your home. Not everyone can realistically adopt a pet and they can donate in other ways.

Intense debate on the necessity of whaling has been stirred but failed to be resolved due to the lacking of pragmatic measures employed by the responsible parties. Whaling nations continue to defend their whaling right for cultural and research purposes. Yet, ethical and humanity issues are among the controversial disputes raised by concerned public.

These resources are then sold for commercial purposes and thus, whaling has become economical important for centuries (Joanne 2007; The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia 2007). Scientific whaling is conducted by hunting whales for research purposes and further analysis to study on whale's behaviour, characteristics and distribution (Joanne 2007). Commercial whaling is a controversial whaling practice that exploits whale products for trade and profit. Recently, Japan, Norway and Iceland are the major contributors of commercial whaling and deeply support any other whaling activities (Joanne 2007). Moratorium on commercial whaling 1986 is a global ban of hunting whales for commercial purposes, implemented by International Whaling Commission (IWC). Under Article VIII, unlimited scientific research is permitted but sufficient data and analysis are required by Science Committee set up by IWC (Papastavrou 2006). 1.2 History of whaling ban Before moratorium of whaling, there was a high demand of whale oil from blubber.

For instance, the recent death of Harambe the gorilla at the Cincinnati zoo, has people viewing zoos differently than they use to. People have stated the lives of animals are secondary to the lives of people. Is the treatment of animals in zoos humane?

"A zoo provides a protected environment for endangered animals" (Vittana 2). This quote is important because there are several animals which are poached frequently because of certain items. Having a zoo provides these animals with a safer place to live because they are behind multiple levels of protection. Although poachers have been able to break into zoos to take animals in the past, this is not a frequent occurrence and is normally not successful when it does occur. Another reason the treatment of animals in zoos is humane is the health and the survival of the animals. "Veterinary care is readily available at most zoos" (Vittana 4). Many zoos have what is referred to as a "treatment room". This is the place where an animal can be brought in for an examination so that's good health can be maintained.

Dolphins often go insane from the huge adjustment to living in a very small space. In captivity, dolphins are not able to hunt for their food like they are in the wild, and they are fed fish that are already dead. Dr. Lori Marino explains, "they really enjoy the opportunity to collaborate with each other and catch prey and travel with their companions" (Dr. Lori Marino). This stimulation is taken away when dolphins are in captivity. Also, dolphins are forced to spend most of their time at the surface of the tank because tanks are not nearly as deep as the ocean. Dolphins "spend more than half their time at the tank's surface"(The Humane Society). This can cause dolphins to obtain skin problems. Dolphins can also get skin problems from the large amount of chlorine in the tank because they are not used to it. Living in such a small in captivity tank can cause dolphins a lot of harm because they are meant to live in the large ocean. In captivity, most dolphins get split up from their family and are forced to live alone, or with other dolphins that they do not know.

  • 18. The Overpopulation Of The Ohio Valley In the United States, about 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters every year. The overpopulation of these animals and the fact that they have no homes leads to about 40% of them being euthanized (ASPCA). This is a global issue, but the root of it can be found within the local community at The Humane Society of the Ohio Valley. The director of this animal shelter, Kelly Goedel, says that the cause of animal homelessness is primarily the lack of spaying and neutering along with the lack of commitment that pet owners have to their companion (Goedel). Spaying and neutering is sometimes avoided by pet owners because it is an extra expense or they may feel as if it is unnecessary. This challenge leads to an excess in animal populations without there necessarily being and increase in homes for these animals. The challenge of overcoming pet overpopulation becomes even more difficult because of a lack of funding. According to the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley, only about 20 percent of their funding comes from local government (Goedel). Therefore, they are very reliant on donors and community funds to help finance their organization. The funding issue circles back to complicate the process of getting homeless pets spayed and neutered to attempt to solve the root cause of animal overpopulation. The basis of our project was to raise funds and awareness for the HSOV. We wanted to reach out to as many people as we could so we can spread the issue of the shelters. ...

Both the film's producer, Joanne Carelli and the head wrangler, Ugland claim that the allegations were false. With all of this a lawsuit came out, the owner of one of the horses filed against the producers, the director and Partisan Productions and the horse wrangler.

These types of decisions delve into an individual's sense of humanity. At what point will their actions carry them over the line they thought they would never cross? How do you preserve your humanity when everyone else around you have compromised their own? In The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Road by Cormac McCarthy the theme of preserving your humanity amidst an inhumane society is carried throughout the narration. The argument can be made that when leaders begin crossing the line and losing the basic humanity of protecting life, society as a whole falls in line. There are many different literary devices that are used in writing to enhance a theme or to carry those themes throughout a storyline. In The Hunger Games and The Road, irony is used in bringing attention to the theme of humanity and carrying it from beginning to the end of the novels. It is used in writing to contrast between "what is expected or understood and what actually happens or is meant" (Puchner i). In The Road, McCarthy uses irony to show the difference between what we would expect from a humane perspective and how those left have fallen so far from those expectations.

(2009) suggest "modeling the behavior," which can have a powerful impact because leaders are expected to set the tone. Current issues need to be openly addressed by seeking and encouraging advice from all members of the organization. This can be done by assigning new middle managers to link the workers and volunteers with the executives.

The Dairy Industry Is Humane Lillie Colville Honors English 10 Period 2 March 12, 2016 The Dairy Industry is Humane The agriculture industry, focusing on the dairy cattle industry, in the U.S.A. is humane and non–abusive. The Dairy Industry raises, breeds, and milks female dairy cattle. The cows are either bought from calf farms or born at the dairy in which they are raised to be about one or two years old until they are bred by a bull of their same breed. Then, once the heifers give birth, they are put into the milking process. According to "How much milk do cows give?", these cows will produce anywhere from 18,000 pounds of milk per year to a record breaking 72,000 pounds per year. America has the fourth highest average milk production records which is 21, 335 pounds per year as of 2015(1). These cows are milked twice a day during their "fresh period" which is the 10 months after having a calf in which they are being milked. The cows then rest for two months and are bred and milked for another 10 months. Overall, milking cows in America live in the dairy industry for about six or seven years until they die naturally or are killed off due to being not profitable to the dairy world. Animals are used in the agricultural commodity industry due to their uses and lack of rights.

The adopter will benefit by seeing their new family member thrive and watching their personality emerge. They will also feel the sense of having saved a life because in a way they did. Older animals spend approximately 4 times more time in shelters than younger ones, which may make adopting an older animal seem pointless because you may only get to have them for a few years, but if you do it, you are giving an animal the most amazing end to their lives and a good home to live out their golden years in (Madrone).

  • 35. Humane Essay : Patient Assisted Suicide Is Humane Patient Assisted Suicide Is Humane Every year, thousands of people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The further along their disease progresses, the more they suffer both physically and mentally. The humane thing to do is to allow these people to choose whether or not to end their lives before this painful and inevitable conclusion is reached. Over 30,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year (Pancreatic Cancer 1). The pancreas is a small gland located near the stomach. Treatments for this type of cancer is very limited because it is often only discovered after it has progressed past the point of no return.

To be truly considered physician–assisted suicide, the injection, while taken in the presence of a medical professional, must be delivered by the patient. This injection is typically given a few weeks to months before natural death would occur, allowing the patient to not have to suffer the worst stages of their disease (Dixon). Currently in America, physician–assisted suicide is only legal in the states of Oregon, Montana, Washington, Vermont, California, Colorado and Washington D.C. While pain to the body is extreme during the later stages of pancreatic cancer, pain to the mind is even greater. As the disease progresses and the body breaks down, the quality of life a person has is nowhere near what they once had. They need help doing the simplest things, such as going to the bathroom or getting dressed. For a person who just a few months earlier was completely healthy, this change can be unbearable. These patients shouldn't be forced to live trapped inside a decaying body. There are some things worse than death (Beauchamp 3) It is not only the patient who is helped by physician–assisted suicide; the families of the sufferers are also spared. It is a sad truth that ninety–five percent of pancreatic cancer patients are killed by the disease (Pancreatic Cancer 2). With death being a near certainty, family members of pancreatic cancer patients ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 36. Shark Finning Is NOT Humane Shark fin soup is considered a renowned delicacy in most parts of China even if it costs upwards easily to one hundred dollars or more per bowl when being served at restaurants around the world.

Starting with the shark's fins being removed from their body and simply dumped into the ocean to die, the shark no less much likely in excruciating pain the entire time. This way is widely used as the shark fin is the part that can be sold for a high profit than any other part of the shark, in fact any other part of the shark is worthless to any fisher (Clarke, Miler–Gulland, & Bjorndal, 2007) to which is why most if not all sharks are immediately dumped overboard once their fins are extracted as this also frees up extra space on any fishermen's vessel to store more shark fins before returning to harbor. However, this profitable practice is both mental and physical abuse to sharks; imagine being in excruciating pain and anguish as you are held against your will while having all you limb being cut off then literally just left for you dead until you bleed out eventually die a slow dead, this is exactly what sharked who are being finned experience.

Adopting a pet from the Humane Society, does not only benefit the animal, but it also benefits you as well. A. Pet stores are usually there to make money selling their animals, so their price is guaranteed to be much higher than the adoption fee at your local shelter. 1. Adoption costs include more than just the price of the animal. The amount of money you pay at an animal shelter covers neutering, and any vaccinations or treatments that may be required to keep your new pet well and healthy. 2. Adoption also greatly benefits the animal, and it can also have a very positive influence on your own life. 3. In the process of choosing to adopt from a shelter, you may find your new best friend or the newest addition to your family. Whether it is a fluffy cat, a lap dog, or any pet, it can add something to your life that you had been missing your whole life.

  • 38. The Humane Association At An Animal Shelter Bitterroot Humane Association Sydney Greek Period 1 12–3–16 Research Paper Imagine being a staff member or a volunteer at an animal shelter.

Imagine standing in front of the donation jar, counting the measly offerings, and hoping they added up to at least five dollars. Ravalli County should do more to encourage adoption of impounded animals, and supply more resources for, the Bitterroot Humane Association. The BItterroot Humane Association is our local "pound" that takes in lost, abandoned, abused, or unwanted companions. They provide pet owners with an outlet should they ever not be able to take care of their animals. Then, these pets are placed back into loving homes, making everyone happy. With a limited budget, they have to care for many, many animals. The Bitterroot Humane Association does not give animals a "time limit" for being put down. Some shelters in Missoula, for example, euthanize their residents if they do not find homes soon enough. Many animals at the kill shelters are very loving and sweet, and deserve a little more time to adjust. At no kill shelters, such as the Bitterroot Humane Association, they are not put down. Several of the dogs and cats have been there for a long time, which is definitely hard on them. Finally, the humane association also helps other animals in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
