Spay or neuter your dog and cat. 9.6 million animals are put to death in USA shelters each year. This is just in the United States, these figures do not include other countries. Every year we have 9.6 million more animals, than we have homes for. This means that all 9.6 million animals are killed, and then another 9.6 million animals comes to take there place next year.
The killing goes on and on, for the simple fact that they are homeless. It is hard to fathom that number. 9.6 million living, thinking, beautiful animals are put to death for lack of a home. This has become the norm. It is almost unquestioned by our society, as if it is somehow acceptable. It is not acceptable in a civilized society. Killing cats and dogs for the crime of taking up space should never ever be considered acceptable. What if they simply shut down government controlled dog shelters? With the money they save, they could open a free spay and neuter clinic. Have a free spay and neuter clinic in every city with no hoops to jump through, just get every cat and dog in that city spayed or neutered. No need for shelters and killing, because practically all the animals would be spayed or neutered.
The issue of so many unwanted dogs and cats in the US is overwhelming and sad. I will do some research, and will post some low cost spay and neuter programs and resources soon. Thank you for visiting CoCo the Blogging Dog!
