Kill shelter are a NECESSARY evil. I worked at a kill shelter for a year, I helped with euth very often. NO ONE at the kill shelters likes that they have to do it, but when you get 70+ animals in on a bad day (20+ on a good day) and you run out of room and can't turn away, what ELSE can you do? We tried to keep the good ones, the ones that were sweet and easily adopted, but somethings gotta give. You want to write a good paper about shelters? Write it showing the other side of a "kill shelter". Write it telling about how every animals needs to be fixed if people want us to stop killing they're beloved pets that they dumped on us for being to old (happened), or because they're moving (happens all the time) or because it doesn't match the new furniture (yes that HAS happened too). Why don't you try to convice those guys who thinks it'll demsculine-tize they're dog by having it's balls cut off? (not true, btw, it helps keep them HOME). Or those women who think puppies will be fun, or they'll make money off they're little mutts? WHy not go into how healthy it is to get them fixed? Or how about how pets are not fashion accessories, and are LIVING CREATURES that a RESPONSIBLE person would take care of for LIFE?

Why not write a paper on the TRUTH, not some hippie lies?
