In America, millions of dogs and cats euthanized in animal shelters every year become the food for our food {twice as many such animals are euthanized as are adopted}.
In the United States, a significant number of pets, specifically dogs and cats, are euthanized in animal shelters each year. This alarming statistic indicates that there are twice as many animals put down as there are adopted, highlighting a severe issue within animal welfare and adoption practices.
Jonathan Safran Foer's book "Eating Animals" brings attention to this tragic reality, pointing out that these animals, which could have found loving homes, unfortunately contribute to the food supply in an indirect and disturbing way. This insight underscores the need for increased awareness and action regarding animal adoption and the ethical considerations surrounding food sourcing.
