Analysis Questions

1. Examine the possible solutions against your criteria.

Make a statement about how each possible solution either meets or does not meet each of your criteria.

I believe that every solution meets the criteria because they're possible if we all join together and realize the underlying issues of Animal Overpopulation. If we know we are supporting a good cause by adopting from shelters instead of buying an animal from a pet store that helps Animal Overpopulation tremendously.  

2. Choose the best option and explain reasons for choice.

Select your 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 every solution, the most effective would be adopting from shelters instead of pet stores. This would bring shelters so much ease and reassurance of the hard work they do for the stray animals. It's a really tough job to euthanize pets that have been in a shelter for a long time. They don't want to do it but they have to to keep animal overpopulation to a minimum and do their part to keep animals off the streets. Positive externality would be more room in the shelter for an animal to be placed in, and more pets being adopted from the shelters. The only negative externality is possibly having to train your new pet if it has a tough personality and wasn't trained when it was a baby.
