animals would be put into shelters and those reasons contribute to the title of the shelter.

http://www.americanhumane.org/animals/adoption-pet-care/issues-information/petoverpopulation.html
This article does not have an author. It was posted by the American Humane Association.
this source is very credible especially toward providing information on the welfare of
animals. The AHA is an association that strives to protect the welfare of children, pets,
and farm animals from abuse and neglect. The AHA is also developing the understanding
of human-animal interaction and its effect on society. The AHA spreads awareness
through research, education, training and a variety of services that help better children
and animals.

This specific article the AHA posted talked about overcrowding of animals in shelters and
animal population control. The AHA provided on ways that can slow down the rate of
euthanizing animals that may soon lead to a resolution of euthanized animals in shelters
due to overcrowding. The AHA main suggestion in this article is sterilization of animals
and determining the appropriate age of sterilization. This article brought attention to the
main cause of overcrowding which is people are returning the animals they adopted. The
AHA provided information for their readers to help slow down that rate at which animals
are killed, and the over capacity of local animal shelters.

The Deadly Consequences of 'No-Kill' Policies." PETA. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Nov. 2015.
http://www.peta.org/features/deadly-consequences-no-kill-policies/

Although this article does not have an author it was posted on PETA.org which is a very
credible website when it comes to research on animal cruelty. PETA is the largest animal
rights organization in the world. PETA focuses on four main issues; factory farming, fur
farming, animal testing, and animals in entertainment. PETA are the main contributors in
making sure animals have equal rights as humans. Although animal shelters are not one
of their main issues PETA addresses the shelter problems in multiple posts and videos.

This article briefly describes the harms and consequences of No-Kill shelters and the
policy behind the term. The article also provides the speculation on why No-Kill is a
problem and why they arent helping the situation. PETA addresses euthanizing is not the
problem; having to euthanize, and the situations leading up to euthanasia, are the
problem. Although biased the article lists different ways as to how No-Kill policies still
arent helping, and backing their opinions with examples and facts. At the end of the
article they provide a logical solution that encourages the reader to get involved.
