Pet Abandonment

INTRODUCTION

Good afternoon everybody, as all you know my name is Sònia and today I’m going to talk about the abandonment of pets, especially about the abandonment of dogs. First of all, I’m going to explain the causes, secondly I’m going to explain the consequences and finally I’m going to give my opinion.

Causes…

The main causes of the abandonment of pets are that families or people fail to take charge and abandoned them.

The abandonment of pets begins at Christmas when most of the people give pets to their children or grandchildren, first it’s so excited especially for the children but in the end the children and their parents fail to take charge and abandon them. Most of the abandonments take place in summer because families want to go traveling and don’t know what to do with their pets, that is when they decide to leave them where nobody sees them and far away from home.

Consequences…

In 2008 there were around 3000 traffic accident caused by the dogs abandonment in the roads.

If you abandon your dog you should realize that this could have a physical or psychological injury, and he can also die.

Conclusion…

When you decide to have a pet, you have to consider that they live around 14, 15 or 16 years... and you should think if you can charge it or not.

I hope you have enjoyed this project. And have you got any question?
