Why We Should Spay & Neuter Our Pets…

There Simply Are Not Enough Homes
for All the Cats & Dogs that Exist

Just for EVERY 2 unaltered cats
420,000 unwanted kittens will be born
EVERY 6 years

AND Statistics show that only 1 out of every 10 kittens gets adopted What do you think happens to 90% of these cats? Multiply that by the number of male & female cats that are not spayed or neutered (homeless or not) Every 2 months-- a cat can have as many as 8 cats in each litter, etc., etc., etc., The numbers are astronomical!! AND It will only get worse every year IF we do not spay & neuter Our animals…Billions of cats end up •Starving on the streets •Mauled by dogs & other animals •Getting Hit by cars •Dyingof disease •Being Horribly Abused •Including Sacrificial Rituals, etc. It's just that simple --but so Simple to solve That's the beauty and the reward of helping our "Best Friends"

Our local pounds is where many
Homeless pets end up also
***
And the ones that end up at your local pounds, less than 2% ever get adopted - that's the average for impounded pets

It's getting just about as bad with dogs because we have
Breeders who are continually adding to the
Pet Overpopulation Problem
With no regard for the welfare or future of the dogs they breed

---We Can Turn this Around

We can curtail & even End the Pet Overpopulation Problem

Simply by Spaying & Neutering Our Pets
AND strays in need
The sooner we spay/neuter each pet Billions less of
unwanted litters will be born every year!

It is medically safe today to spay or neuter
a cat or dog at 2 months of age
(6 months is too long -- visit your local pounds & see)

We have to think compassionately & intelligently about ensuring they all have a quality life

Here are some poor reasons why many people put off or do not spay or neuter their pets
… but are they really thinking about what's best for their pet?

10 Worst Excuses why
people do not Spay/ Neuter their Pet

• Just one litter and then we'll have "Fluffy" spayed. (Studies show that virtually the entire pet overpopulation stems from the "just one litter" mentality.)

• My dog doesn't run loose, so he doesn't need to be fixed.

•We always find homes for the kittens (And that means that an equal number of kittens at the pound will be killed.)

• I want the children to witness the miracle of birth.
(Rent a video.)

• My dog is so cute and unique, there should be more of her. (The pounds are full of cute & unique dogs, most with only a few days to live.)

• It's not natural. (There hasn't been anything "natural" about dogs since we began to develop breeds thousands of years ago.)

• I just couldn't look my dog in the eye if I had him castrated. (This is typically a projection made from a male, which is very egocentric, not considering the unwanted litters that will inevitably be destroyed due to this mentality.)

• A female dog or cat should have at least one litter for health reasons. (Medically, factually and ethically indefensible.)

• Neutering my dog will make him fat and lazy. (Too much food and not enough exercise makes a dog fat and lazy.)

• Fixing my pet will change its personality.
(The primary influence on an animal's personality is the care with which it is raised.)

"If your pet is not spayed or neutered,
please make an appointment with your veterinarian or low cost spay/neuter clinic today!"

Think about it… If you spayed and neutered just one pair Of cats, just once ….. you would be saving over 420,000 Unwanted cats from being born- this is a conservative figure. (The numbers can be much higher because cats can live longer than 6 years and this number is based on a 6 year period) YOU alone can save even into the billions of cats that would otherwise end Up living the most horrible lives imaginable
