Service Learning Reflection

Throughout the course of this whole project, I had to write a paper on what the problem was in the community which is euthanasia in animal shelters. Euthanasia is an "assisted kill" of a person/animal that could potentially be painful or non painful. First off, I had to write a paper that consisted of the problem and possible solutions that could be helpful. After that, I went and volunteered at the Grand Strand Humane Society to help them out with the paperwork, stocking up supplies, and just general things. Whenever I see animals in a certain condition to the point where they have to be "put down", it makes feel sad knowing that this is considered the only way out for some of the animals placed in shelters. If euthanasia happens in one place, it happens across the globe so if we lower the probability of it happening in South Carolina then it could trickle to other states that have a high rate who euthanizes. I still have questions that haven't been completely answered such as "What can be done to keep animals from being placed in containers outside and disposed of in a proper place?" or "Isn't there another way to 'put down' an animal?" I can receive feedback on my service by posting my public service announcement to YouTube since everyone watches videos on there. People can go and view my video and then hopefully, it can make a minor difference.
