My group is purple period 1. We have recently read an article about animal abuse. Animal abuse is horrible. Animal abuse is increasing. It does not matter if it can talk, if you hurt or kill it your just the same as those who belong in prison. We feel that this needs to be stopped. If you don't like the animal give it up so that someone can adopt it __LOVE IT AND NEVER ABUSE IT!!!__ - Jayne Samoleski [|animal abuse/ cruelty facts]

__My group is orange period 8. Our solution to this animal abuse problem is to advertise animals in shelters on tv and newspapers so people can adopt them instead of them being left alone in shelers and to later be killed.__ http://www.aspca.org/ this is a link to an animal help website. - Joshua Singh

Hey: Find out about Karma (if the dog has been adopted) click here - Karma: Problem #1: Animals are being left in shelters and there is not enough awareness as too what kinds of animals there are. Problem #2: There is not enough animal shelter funds for every shelter.- JOSHUA SINGH (period 8 mixed media) Problem #3: Five out of ten dogs in shelters and seven out of ten cats in shelters are destroyed simply because there is no one to adopt them. Problem #4: According to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy, less than 2 percent of cats and only 15 to 20 percent of dogs are returned to their owners. Most of these were identified with tags, tattoos or microchips.-DAVID HAMILTON (period 8 mixed media) Problem #5: Animals are abused and then released from their homes to later be found by animal shelters,- MICHAEL ZACCHEO, & GREGORY TOOVEY. (period 8 mixed media)

I think there are many things we can do to help: Solution #1: We can advertise animals in shelters on TV or in newspapers. Solution #2: We can get people to adopt them instead of them being killed. Solution #3: We can host events like carnivals or bake sales to raise money so that the dogs can go to animal shelters and be adopted by a family that would take care of them. - GABBY REID (period 8 mixed media)

Problem #1: Approximately 5 million to 7 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, and approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized (60 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats). Shelter intakes are about evenly divided between those animals relinquished by owners and those picked up by animal control. These are national estimates; the percentage of euthanasia may vary from state to state. Problem #2: The average cost of basic food, supplies, medical care and training for a dog or cat is $700 to $875 annually. - DAVID HAMILTON
