Persuasive Animal Adoption
There are about 7.6 million animals that enter shelters nationwide every year. Out of them, three-four million are adopted, 2.7 million are euthanized, and the rest wait in the shelter. If more families were to adopt an animal from a shelter it could help some of these animals very much, plus there are some benefits to having a pet. There are many cases of pets being abandoned, those animals become strays and are mostly unwanted, but adopting strays from shelters or taking them in can be very beneficial for the animals, and even to the owners or their children.

If you do adopt them and take them home it could just make that poor animal’s life better ten-fold.

The saddest part is probably the abuse or neglect of pets. Although some animals can escape from abusive owners, almost 115 million animals (Such as rats, mice, birds, cats, dogs, etc.) are killed for lab experiments. That is not even counting the thousands upon thousands of dogs, cats, and other pets that die from neglect yearly. All these issues are reasons that people should adopt
