Ideas on animal control.......?

Question

I have decided to give a persuasive speech on animal control, specifically dogs. This is a topic I would like to discuss, but I feel stuck trying to come up with things to talk about specifically. Got any ideas?

Answer 1

Animal control - start with what it is now - killing the ones that do not get adopted. What gives us the right to take a life just because "it" doesn't speak our language? Did you ever feel like your pet understands you better than your friend or a family member? When I fell and broke my ankle, my cat came and sat by me in the snow and licked my ankle. How did she know where I was hurt? Talk about the benefits of having a pet (adds years to your life!!!). After a controversial intro, start with the least convincing argument and end with the most convincing one.

We all know animals are - in many ways - better than us. Give them a voice. Be the voice of the dog (cat, whatever). What do you think of when you see a puppy in a cage? If we're smarter, we should act that way, and care for them. Leave them with a question, that being - "should I go and adopt/take care of/volunteer to help- a dog today?" Don't say it, just make them think about it.

Answer 2

Animal control-

1. need for it? yes, or dogs/cows/pigs would be roaming everywhere and leaving messes
2. Benefits? Order and peace in the house where the dog knows how to 'Sit!" or "Shake!", or "Basket!"
3. Methods: Home training for dogs, 'schools' listed in Yellow Pages for training animals
4. Circus animals give entertainment (I even saw domestic CATS [the furry ordinary home grown cat] doing tricks at a circus!!] Lions and elephants who do tricks
5. Overseas animals are trained to move stuff (Elephants in lumber jobs - India I think)
6. Oh, I see that you are doing dogs - sorry about the other stuff - got carried away!!!

Bye

Recently in Los Angeles there was an idea to make a city ordinance that all dogs must be spayed or neutered.
