a student is writing an argumentative essay about adopting shelter animals instead of buying pets which detail would not be relevant to the argument. Would it be cats are more popular pets than dogs or adopting shelter pets help save lives or animals from the pet stores are often unhealthy or many dogs and cats need homes.

The detail that would not be relevant to the argument is "cats are more popular pets than dogs." While it provides information about pet popularity, it does not directly support the argument about the benefits of adopting shelter animals versus buying pets. The other details—adopting shelter pets helps save lives, animals from pet stores are often unhealthy, and many dogs and cats need homes—are all relevant to the argument in favor of adopting shelter animals.
