Argumentative Essay On Dog Parks
Three-fourths of the American population that are in their thirties have dogs. There have been controversies running through the air about if dog parks are helpful or harmful. Well, what type of dog park is harmful? They are made for dogs to have fun. As humans want to have fun to right, why should we have to stop dogs from having this same enjoyment?
To start, dogs in big cities are stuck at home all day until their beloved owners come home. According to source one, this is the reason "bark parks" were created. In the big city, most homes do not have much yard space for their furry companion to run around. That is why there are thousands and thousands of dog parks throughout the states. When the end of the day, the dynamic duo can walk through the hectic streets to reach their destination, the dog park. These parks deliver the essential need to run, play, and extract some of the canine species' energy.
As stated in Source two by Professor Jean Twenge, "pets are becoming a replacement for children." People do not need to be married to have a dog, and they are technically cheaper than having a child. In the past couple of years, pet supply store sales have elevated vastly because of the demand for dog adoptions. Since the increase in adoptions, more dog parks are needed and wanted. Hypothetically speaking, if the number of dog parks is lower because of the disagreement if they should be allowed or not, then adoptions will lower, and pet stores can lose a significant amount of money needed to keep the business running. To avoid this problem entirely, we should end the disagreement and start excepting dog parks.
On the other hand, as I read in Source three, a city spent about 273,000 dollars building a dog park called "Burlington's Furry Friends." That money can go to a million other places rather than a dog park even though this money can go so many places; why not splurge on our fury friends of America. We splurge on our self with target runs and shopping. Why not do it to a dog? According to Source four, two people are suing the town over a dog park. They are doing this because they state that the city failed to enforce a leash law, zoning approval, and how the city did not prevent the dog waste on the neighboring lawns. Yes, even though the town did not consult with them, they should try to agree and come up with a solution rather than to file a lawsuit against the city.
To sum up, everything that has been stated, "bark parks" are needed and wanted. They should be excepted throughout America so our furry canine friends can have a wonderful place to go and hang out just like us humans. They are a necessity for their wellbeing and human enjoyment in life.
