1. How does each possible solution for your chosen issue meet or fail to meet each of your criteria? Explain.
Every possible solution for my chosen issue meets the criteria because each possibility is just that, possible. If everyone helped, this problem would be obsolete. The animals would never have to be neglected or ownerless because there would be less of them to take care of. The money used to euthanize the animals could be used to create new shelters and spaying and neutering sites.
2. Based on your research, which is the best solution to turn into action? Explain why you made this choice over the other possible solutions. Refer back to the criteria and externalities.
Out of my three counterarguments for animal overpopulation, the most viable option would be to have the pets spayed and neutered. This is the easiest and would cease the ability for pets to reproduce. The only negative externalities would be the cost, but if the euthanizing factories were gone, I believe the cost would be fair.
