The clinic is established in a one-story building with no windows and meet all the codes related to hurricanes. As public shelters do not allow animals to stay when there is a possibility of hurricanes, therefore the clinic does not accept animals for boarding during that time

Fire: In case of fire due to malfunctioning of any electrical equipment or any other reason, there is no window or emergency exit available. It can damage the building and the life of the employees and animals will be in danger.

Viral Influenza: If an employee or animal is suffering from any serious viral disease. That viral infection can easily spread to others and make other animals as well as employees sick.

In his poem "For a Lady I Know," Countee Cullen depicts the clash between the upper and lower classes of society. The poem is assumed to be about upper-class white Americans who treat African Americans poorly. He points out the audacity of the upper class to presume that African Americans would continue to wait on them forever, even after death:

She even thinks that up in heaven

Her class lies late and snores

While poor black cherubs rise at seven

To do celestial chores.

This poem suggests that white Americans don’t want to help improve the lifestyle of poor African Americans but are comfortable with the minority races serving them forever.
