Gosh, What A Catch! Animal shelters in the United States alone kill around 750,000 healthy dogs and cats annually (around 530,000 are cats) due to overcrowding in the facilities. Giving them each injections that would quietly send them to sleep (after, of course, the deathly terror of being grabbed and rendered immobile by one or more creatures ten times or larger than they are while confined to a small, unnatural space culminating in a sharp localized stabbing pain very similar to that of a poisonous spider bite) is the standard reported method of execution. In medium to large population density areas the number of dogs and cats to be disposed of, by extension of logic (number of such locations, time required for each procedure), requires the establishment of full-time work positions whose only duty is the euthanasia of domesticated pets and the subsequent disposal of the resultant carcasses, which would be most efficient as either the regular pick-up or delivery from or to facilities that process and manufacture crude protein destined for inclusion as the main ingredient of average cost dog and cat (and other domestic pets as well, of course) retail food. These remains are stored in plastic bags filled to capacity in freezers and are also available for purchase by research laboratories and dissection supply companies. Some cities, such as San Francisco, San Antonio, Austin and a few others have recently enacted the practice of mass cremation, even though the loss of income generated by the sales and the expense of the energy required to reduce these amounts of vertebrate material to ash is additional to the city's budgets for their animal care facilities. A number of areas have dedicated sections of their municipal landfills (garbage dumps) for this specific purpose. It is assumed the animals are not removed from their containing plastic bags before eventual burial by bulldozer, thus prolonging their then-current states as opposed to natural breakdown by other lifeforms that would occur much more rapidly without the petrochemical, highly resistant to physical degradation barriers involved. The higher the population density, the higher the number of these employment opportunities are available. These, like all municipal workforce slots that are filled, enjoy the comprehensive benefit plans standard and expected - retirement savings and investment through a third-party that guarantees a fixed rate of base monetary growth regardless of profits earned from the use of capital contractually provided, medical and dental insurance coverage (which are bizarrely differentiated - inflammation and other infections symptoms from the oral cavity are not only commonly lethal by themselves, but contribute in large part to, for instance, hypertension, which 1 in 3 males regardless of other demographic categorizations will statistically die as a direct result of if they live to an age not yet old enough to collect Social Security benefits), overtime pay for hours worked past forty hours a week and/or eight hours a shift. Those extolling the virtues of a nuclear family (a legally married couple - almost always insisted upon by the speakers as being only acceptable as a male and a female - with at least one child, though more is overtly preferred by the same speakers as less than two is considered substandard in effort and unpatriotic as well as an affront to a deity that alone and male-sexed is the worshipped God of several monotheistic religions) are portrayed by their published aggregated rhetoric as systematically vetting potential mates for their female offspring (different procedures are prescribed for the preferred mates of males) by an examination of the suitor's current and prospective annual monetary income. Although other factors in this traditional appeasement ceremony exist, such as the existence of certain ultimatum genetic markers and at least a cursory knowledge of keywords most often mentioned in conversations centered around the parental units' at least twice a year visited places of public worship - payroll receipts and/or display of possession of costly physical items such as jewelry, motor vehicle(s) and clothing retail priced far beyond manufacturing cost popularly prevail as the chief deciding factor in familial blessing of scheduled sexual activities and acknowledged transferal of lifelong decision making authority for the daughter in question. Thus, a full-time paid professional dog and cat killer meets criteria for such previously described young potential mates for the daughters of publicly professed family first and oriented social groups. As business-minded attitudes focus nearly exclusively on growth - more and larger of whatever area of industry applies - what logical extensions describe the most probable trajectory of lifepath for our newlyweds?
