Chad: Stray cats are not only a nuisance, they spread diseases and cause injuries to other cats and to humans. People feed these animals out of kindness, but doing so only exacerbates the problem unless the cats are then captured and adopted.
Speaker 1 Summary
Sharita concludes that anyone who owns a cat should have it sprayed or neutered unless they are willing to take care of the cat’s offspring. This is because failure to spay or neuter leads to a lot of stray cats.
Speaker 2 Summary
Chad asserts that stray cats spread disease and cause injuries to other cats and humans. He also claims that when people feed stray cats, this makes the problem of stray cats worse unless the stray cats are captured and adopted.
Objective
We’re looking for a point of agreement. The speakers agree that having lots of stray cats around is undesirable.
A
It is usually wrong to feed stray cats.
Sharita doesn’t express an opinion about this. Although she views the presence of stray cats as undesirable, that doesn’t imply any belief about feeding stray cats. Maybe she thinks it’s OK to feed them, but we should spay or neuter cats to get rid of future strays.
B
There are more stray cats than there should be.
This is a point of agreement. Sharita views having many stray cats as a reason to spay or neuter pet cats. Chad points out negate aspects of stray cats and considers feeding them as exacerbating the problem of stray cats.
C
Stray cats are a problem because of the risk they pose to humans.
Sharita doesn’t express an opinion about this. She doesn’t describe exactly why having lots of stray cats is undesirable.
D
Stray cats spread diseases to other cats.
Sharita doesn’t express an opinion about this. She doesn’t describe exactly why having lots of stray cats is undesirable.
