6.2

Determine the criteria that any potential solution must meet:

What are the necessary conditions for any possible solution to work? Are there budget or labor concerns? Does the public need to be aware of and support the solution? What challenges are there to implementing each solution? How else might you judge possible solutions against each other? What do your parents say about the issue?

• Easy, affordable, educated on the solution
• Budget concerns
• Public awareness
• Spay/neuter-money, knowledge of the procedure
• Donations-money, where it's going, what organization to give to
• Adopt from a shelter instead of puppy mill-preference of animal, cost, knowledge of shelter
• Choosing a solution depends on criteria and what most people will go for
• Most people would prefer to adopt from a shelter-it's easy and cheap
