Animal Shelters Need Help

In this video, the Animal Shelter manager explains that running a shelter can be very hard without being funded. On average, she states that it cost about $315 dollars per pet that comes into the shelter. I support this video because, from experience with my county's shelter, donations are not making enough money to support the animals that are brought in. If the county or government would fund these shelters, people might realize that these shelters are not just a dumping ground for stray dogs and cats. The shelters need all the support and help they can get. Forfeiting out $315 per pet takes a huge effect on the profit of the animal shelter. The shelter needs more money in order to supply for every animals needs. The community should also help out on supporting the shelter by advertising the animals that need adoption. The community should also come together to form grants to get the animal shelters funded by the government.

Question

From this statement, do you think that the government should fund animal shelters?
