Synthesizing

I tried to find three articles that had somewhat of a solution or new experiments that organizations and groups were trying to help animal shelter overpopulation. I was pleased when I read the article about the experiment in Florida and how even though it took some time, like all good things, they were really able to make a significant difference in the number of euthanized animals. I learned that overpopulation in animal shelters affects more than just the animals. I want to learn more about what veterinarians do in this situation. I want to find an article of a vets story or someone who has been impacted by an animal that has been euthanized because there were too many animals in the shelter. There are so many different views and ways to show that this is a problem and I want to find them. I do think I need to look other places than the library data base because most of the articles I find there are not very helpful. I do not know where I am going to look for my other two sources because I have gotten some good information. I want to find more recent articles, statistics and facts about overpopulation. I enjoy learning about this and I hope to find new, better, up to date information!

  1. When you say that the articles you found in the library weren't very helpful, what do you mean? Was it tough to find relevant sources? I imagine that they might be good places to look for statistics and data, while the more individual examples and accounts will probably need to be from newspapers or magazine articles.
