Pet Adoption Versus Animal Euthanasia
Animal euthanasia is the act of inducing death to an animal. Euthanasia methods are designed to cause minimal pain and distress. Most of the times, it is called the act of “putting asleep” an animal. Meanwhile organizations like animal rescue groups and animal rights organizations strictly oppose this method. They say could dramatically reduce the number of animals being “put to sleep”.
There are many reasons for animal euthanasia. Terminal illness, behavioural problems like aggression can be reasons for euthanasia. While there are animal owners inducing their animals or pets to euthanasia when they have illnesses or broken limbs that requires big medical and financial attention.
Old age is also a common reason for animal or pet euthanasia. Meanwhile for animal shelters, they induce euthanasia since they do not have enough space or room for an abandoned animal.
According to Humane Society of the United States, there is an estimated 4 to 5 million of adoptable animals in animal shelters euthanized due to lack of facilities. While American Humane Association cites even a bigger number, 9.6 million of animals in the United States are being euthanized every year.
According to the survey conducted by the American Humane Association, out of the 1000 shelters who responded to the survey, 2.7 million of 4.3 million animals (64 percent) are being euthanized. Out of this euthanized number, 56 percent are dogs and 71 percent are cats. There 15 percent of dogs and 2 percent of cars were reunited with their owners. Just a dismal 25 percent of dogs and 24 percent of cats were adopted.
Majority of the animals in shelters were being euthanized since there is a standard period of time (ranging from several days to weeks for unclaimed stray animals). However, there are “no kill” shelters run by private and animal welfare organizations. These “no kill” shelters make it an official policy never to euthanize animals
