An amazing 70,000 kittens and puppies are born in this
country each year; compare that figure to the 10,000
human babies born. As you can imagine there is just
not enough homes for all these animals. Sadly 4 to 6
million puppies, kittens, dogs and cats are euthanized
yearly because there are no homes for them. That.'
approximately By spaying/neutering your pet, we can
eliminate this problem. In addition to saving lives,
spaying and neutering can also drastically improve
your pet's health and life expectancy. Pets lead
healthier and longer lives. Spaying a female
eliminates the possibility of uterine and ovarian
cancer and greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer.
Neutering a male reduces the risk of both prostate
enlargement and prostate cancer. Neutering also will
make your pet more affectionate and less likely to
roam, get in fights, or become lost. 64% of all the
animals that are brought to shelters are euthanized.
50% of the problem lies with un-neutered males. 30% of
all animals in shelters are purebreds. If you believe
every animal should give birth before it is
neutered/spayed, visit your local animal shelter.
Animal overpopulation is not just a problem in this
country it is a crisis.
