I was an animal control officer for Graham County, Arizona, total population about 36,000.\nIn one memorable month's time, we euthanized (killed) over 125 dogs.  The average was 15-25 dogs per week.  If they are puppies, unable to survive on their own, they are euthanized the minute they come in.\nTo adopt an animal does several things:\n1]  You are saving a live - an animal control facility in Arizona has to hold an animal for 72 hours.  If not claimed by then it can be euthanized.\n2]  By law, an adopted animal has to be spayed or neutered, so you are also keeping any more unwanted animals from being destroyed.\n3]  You are giving a gift of love to yourself\n4]  If more people would adopt, we could cut down on puppy mills.  Most people want a pet, not show material.  Besides, it's proven a mixed breed dog is naturally more resistant to disease than a purebred.\n\nJust remember, when you adopt an animal from a shelter it has already had serious emotional trauma.  So it will take a while for this poor thing to trust completely.  Expect a few problems, be patient, be kind.  Remember this is a lifetime commitment!

The biggest animal rights group in the world right now is probably People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. You might want to check out their site and the sites of their critics. Try http://www.petakillsanimals.com for some startling facts about PETA. Also, any good book on animal rights/welfare in your school's library will address the criticisms of the animal rights movement.\n\nA handy tip: remember that animal right and animal welfare are not the same thing. When you think animal rights, think PETA. When you think animal welfare, think SPCA.\n\nGood luck with your term paper!

Your argument paper may want to show that not only owners can abuse animals.  \n\nSometimes the shelters abuse them too by putting them to sleep too fast because they don't want to spend the time finding homes for animals.\n\nThey also keep them cooped up in cages.  \n\nWhen they are in the cages, they are not played with enough.\n\nMaybe your argument paper can show that animal shelters do not do enough to find homes for animals.  \n\nYou can show that there needs to be a overhaul.\n\nThen again, your argument paper can show that tigers are almost extinct.  There used to be 500,000 and now there are only 5000 left.  People poach them.  You should argue against poachers and save the tigers from extinction. \n\nFind out who's working to do that.

Yeah right....research huh?\nWell, I am not one to say you are not doing research, exactly what kind of research is interesting.\nBut anyway the answer to your ? for myself is:    a total of  06  that is from my first puppy love to my husband, I will say that I was in a real relationship with them at the time I was sleeping with them, only once was I with two of them at the same time.\nNow before you think kinky, I mean I was seeing two of them at the same time. (Not sleeping with them in one moment)\nI know too much info right?   ( =

Something very timely for your presentation might be to include a section on the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) that's currently making its way through Congress.\n\nThe AETA is designed in part to protect researchers from attacks on their work and their personal lives.  You can find more info on the bill at http://www.nabr.org.  It's a relatively straightfoward piece of legislation that could have a big impact.

Use a topic that you believe in for your persuasive speech and back it up. Try a current event topic. How about, "Why black Americans should  stop using the n-word." Use the Michael Richardson or "Kramer" ranting as your basis. Good luck.
