the writer argues that the shelter is necessary to keep stray animals off the streets and prevent illnesses.

the writer asks readers to donate time as well as money

Explanation:

To determine the primary audience is community members who care about animals, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Saying donating makes readers "a hero in an animal’s life" appeals to those who care about animals, as it connects their donation to helping animals, targeting animal - lovers.
• Option 2: Information about funding and expenses is more about transparency for potential donors (not specific to animal - caring community members).
• Option 3: Arguing the shelter is necessary for street - animal and illness prevention is more about the shelter's function, not directly targeting animal - caring community members.
• Option 4: Asking for time and money donation doesn't specifically target those who care about animals (could be general volunteers/donors).

Answer:

The writer indicates that donating is a way for readers to be a hero in an animal’s life.
