KNOW YOUR WORLD
This section presents a simple overview of some of the major issues facing the world today. It's intended only as a jumping-off point for future self-directed research.
Animals
Animal Homelessness
In the US alone, millions of animals are homeless, and for many reasons. In some cases, pet owners may find themselves in a position in which they're no longer able to take care for their pets. In others, pet owners may be unable to find homes for the offspring of a pet that was not sprayed or neutered, Animals that are picked up off the street or brought to shelters may be euthanized if homes for them aren't found.
Animal Cruelty
Animals of all kinds (pets, farm animals, zoo animals) are sometimes subjected to shockingly poor living conditions and abuse. They may be kept in cramped quartered with other animals, denied adequate food and water, left in cages or rooms that are never cleaned, or otherwise neglected. They may also be physically abused (e.gm kicked, whipped, or hit) by their owners or handlers.
Endangered Species
Overfishing, overhunting, and poaching threaten many species with extinction, a result that would decrease the delivery of Earth's animal kingdom and interfere with the food web, nature's delicate balance of predator-pey relationships. Even a small disturbance to the food web can be magnified many times over, turning ripples into tidal waves with the potential to affect a wide range of ecosystems. Habitat destruction and pollution secondary to industry and urban sprawl are other key components contributing to the declining numbers of many species, and not just endangered species.
Factory Farms
Many large farms that mass produce meat, eggs, and dairy prioducts keep their animals in appallingly poor living conditions. They may also use farming and processing techniques that cause the animals significant pain and suffering.
Pollution and Animal Health
In addition to its role in the destruction of natural habitats, pollution can have direct effects in the health of animal species that consume polluted products. These animals may choke on litter, ingest products that make them sick, or suffer toxic exposures that can affect their health as well as the health of their offspring. Moreover, even if the health of the animal is unaffected by consumption of polluted products. These animals may choke on litter, ingest products that make them sick, or suffer toxic exposures that can affect their health as well as the health of their offspring. Moreover, even if the health of the animal is unaffected by consumption of polluted products, the buildup of these products within an animal's tissues ( a process known as bioaccumulation) can have health effects on the animals (and humans) that consume it. And because we humans are at the top of the food chain, this should concern all of us.
Puppy Mills
Animal abuse is widespread among "puppy mills" and other businesses that breed dogs, cats, and other pets to provide a constant supply of baby animals for pet stores, even while millions of animals are put down each year because adoptive homes cannot be found for them
