World Spay Day

World Spay Day is February 26, 2013 - hi-lighted by Humane Society International and The Humane Society of the United States

Well, I am no Bob Barker, but I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone to spay & neuter your pets.  There are now so many free and low cost Spay Neuter programs throughout the United States, there really is no excuse not to have your pet(s) surgically altered.  It's healthier for them and beneficial for you!

Approximate numbers of pets born each year, courtesy of Stephen Zawistowski, Executive Vice President, National Programs and Science Advisor at the ASPCA:
6,630,000 cats born in homes each year, roughly 18,165 per day (This number does NOT include feral cat births; you can increase this number by 30 to 50 percent to estimate feral cat births.)
and 6,040,000 dogs born in homes each year, roughly 16,559 per day
BUT only 4,116,000 people born per year in the US, roughly 11,277 per day.
That's 1.6 non-feral cats and 1.47 dogs per human born!! You don't need to be a math major to see there simply aren't enough homes to continue with the current reproduction rates.

Nationwide, there are four million animals being killed in our nation's shelters every year. Animals entering the average shelter in America today only have a one in two chance of making it out alive and in some communities, only one out of 100 do.Page Updated on: 22 October 2020
