The detail that would not be relevant to the argument is: "Cats are more popular pets than dogs."

This information does not directly support the argument for adopting shelter animals versus buying pets, as it does not touch on the health of animals from pet stores, the need for homes, or the life-saving aspect of adopting shelter pets.
