Professor soys many students
not responsible pet owners

By KATHY MCHUGH
Reporter
Although students at Texas
A&M are working on educations
in their desired field, many of
them lack education in the area of
responsible pet ownership, says
Dr. William McCulloch, director
of the Center for Comparative
Medicine and professor of veterh
nary public health.
“Most of the pets are bought
on impulse, eventually leading to
irresponsible ownership by
student,” McCulloch says.
A student will walk into a
store and buy a cute, cuddly
ten, and around Christmas
cat will be dumped, he says.
“I think a lot of the students
who do buy on impulse don’t take
into consideration the amount of
money, adequate housing and
love that a pet really needs,” Mc
Culloch says.
This will eventually lead to a
growing stray population which
results in an increase in the num
ber of animals put to death in
shelters, he says.
Twenty to 40 dogs and cats are
put to sleep every day in the Bra
zos Animal Shelter, McCulloch
says.
Even worse, he says, is the fact
that 10 tons of dogs and cats are
put to death in a week in Hous
ton.
“However, people do need
pets, and, as far as students go,
pets serve a vital role in making
their lives more satisfying,” Mc
Culloch says.
Pets give students something to
care for, something to touch and
give affection to, something to
keep one busy, something to
soothe one’s focus of attention
and companionship, according to
a pamphlet on pet ownership and
it’s psychological status.
“If people can have these kinds
of feelings toward their pets, why
can’t they see that animals have
certain feelings too?” asks Celeste
Treadway, an assistant to McCul
loch who is conducting research
on the bond between human and
animal relationships.
“Some students think that if
they dump their pets in front of
the veterinary school someone
will pick them up.”
Instead, most abandoned ani
mals get run over or die of starva
tion, she adds.

By conducting a survey,
Treadway says she will find out if
students don’t realize the respon
sibilities of having a pet or if they
know what is going on and just
don’t care.
The survey (for the Center for
Comparative Medicine) will ask
questions on the student’s atti
tudes toward his pet. The survey
also will help to reveal the stu
dent’s true field of responsibility,
Treadway says.
“If we get good results, then
our next step is to try and get
something published to educate
people on how to take care of
their pets,’’ she says.
Pamphlets on the subject hope
fully will be placed in the off-cam
pus housing office, pet shops and
various other places around
town, Treadway says.
“We also might set up a pro
gram on the responsibility of pet
ownership in the elementary
schools," she says.
Treadway says she believes this
survey will help decrease the
problem of animal abandonment,
but will not get rid of it com
pletely.
“People need pets and they
should be aware that their pets
really do need them too,” Tread
way says.
