Animal Caretakers
Introduction
The instinct to help other humans in need or to have compassion for them, exist in most humans. But, not most humans look at an animal on the side of the road or wandering around their neighborhood and think they should be helped, especially since they are different from their own. Luckily, there are some people that dedicate their time, life, and love to help injured and suffering animals in need. Just like parents try to keep their kids off the streets, an animal caretaker tries to do the same with animals.
Main Point- One/ Animal Caretakers seek to take stray animals off the street.
Last week, a stray dog was wandering around my neighborhood. It was a small fury little fella with somewhat of an under bite and matted hair. I ended up naming him Henry just because it seemed right! Henry happened to have taken a liking to me and our front porch. Henry had no intentions of leaving, so we let him sleep in the garage with a blanket. We would have kept Henry but the Vet bill would have been too high. Luckily, there were people we could call to come take Henry to the animal shelter. Those Animal rescuers/ caretakers didn’t hesitate to come, and made sure everything they did was humane. A humane thing the animal caretakers did was take Henry to a shelter.
Main Point- Two/ Animal Caretakers care for animal in Animal shelter or Hospital.
When they are in a safe place, different Vets and animal caretakers make sure the animals are comfortable and healthy. Animal caretakers do all they can to get the animal back in good health and appearance for a loving family one day. Going to several animal shelters like Paws and The Humane Society, gave me an overview of how these equal minded animal lovers handle the different cases of animal injuries and abuse they receive. You can tell they want the best for all of them. When an animal is fully medicated, it is then eligible for a new home.
Main Point-

    Now, why should we look after animals, surely they are something that we could just use as a luxury? Why do we have to help animals in general? This may sound silly and unusual but actually we are all animals … every single person in this room is an animal, every single person in this world is an animal. All we are, are just adapted animals ( so we have not got any fur, we can permanently stand on two feet, we don’t have a tail or any different features like that, we don’t have noticeable hair everywhere, only where we necessarily think or want in that case. We have hardly any…

    Animals are important in our society; we have dozens of native and brought over animals that aren’t treated correctly. Most of the time, it is nowhere near the animals fault, sometimes owners have no money to care for their pet, though that is no excuse for not turning their pet in to a nice shelter.

    First, it decreases the rate of homeless animals. But most importantly, gives animals a second chance. Despite 2.7 million animals being euthanized every year of the 7.2 million animals brought into shelters, 4.5 of the animals are adopted in loving and caring forever homes. Although, a shelter animal may seem intimidating and questioning at first, as soon as the adopter takes them into a setting they are comfortable with, they turn over a whole new leaf. In spite of the complications and procedures the animals go through, the animals will give all their loyalty and love that they have been waiting to give someone. That someone being, their provider, feeder, and most importantly, best…

    How would you feel if you saw an animal that is boney and sick? For people that love animals it is hard to picture an animal that is sick, covered in fleas or ticks, cuts, and is just boney. Animal hoarding is an unrecognized problem in many communities. By the time people notice it usually too late to help the animals that are involved in the hoarding. Hoarding is considered a type of animal abuse and can be punishable by law if found guilty in court. There are over a hundred cases each year that deal with just animal hoarding that is reported to the authorities. Many shelters and veterinary offices help those poor animals that are brought in by cops and organizations that are established to rescue animals in trouble or danger. There are solutions in solving this problem that is spreading across the United States that can be solved locally or solved by the state. These solutions are the most reasonable. They are to limit the number animals in a household, to check up on previous hoarders more recently, and to inform people of the ways they can help and the effects that can happen due to this problem.…

    Robert Gonzales is only one of many people to commit animal cruelty. Kevin Brunson was also accused of harming an animal. He starved his dog, Rambo, until he weighed only fifty-one pounds. A normal dog his size would weigh around one hundred and twenty-five pounds. Rambo was seventy-four pounds underweight. A dog named, Lacey had scabbing around the eyes and other injuries from being abused. “Lashawn Whitehead of Greensboro, admitted to police that she beat her dog for fifteen minutes, then set it on fire. The dog ran away, and she was found. Her injuries were burned ears, a broken jaw, and teeth. She was adopted into a new loving family.” (Cawthon 2) All animals are affected when it comes to animal abuse. Horses have been reported to be starved and in very poor living conditions. Owners don’t clean stalls, feed the animals, or take care of the horses grooming needs. The horses become depressed to due to the lack of care they receive. Sixteen horses were found at Gina Rapuano’s Farm, Apache, Willy, and Destiny are merely three of the horses greatly in need of care. Apache was starved so much you could see his ribs; he was infested with worms, and needed hoof and dental care. Willy had trouble walking, and horrible eye infections. Destiny had such bad dental care that he could not eat properly, and was starving. “The horses eyes were dull; they were not alert. They tried to ignore their surroundings.” (Beach 2) All horses were taken to immediate care and are being nursed back to health. A tearful apology was given by Rapuano. The judge’s decision was that Rapuano didn’t purposefully harm the animal.…
