The most
important thing that we can do to save unwanted pets (including puppies and
kittens) from all the suffering and death that their overpopulation causes is to
spay and neuter them. Spaying and neutering are routine, affordable surgeries
that can prevent thousands of animals from being born, only to suffer and
struggle to survive on the streets, be abused by cruel or neglectful people, or
be euthanized in animal shelters for lack of a loving home.
Consult with
your veterinarian about the most appropriate time to spay or neuter your pet
based upon its breed, age and physical condition, and let your family and
friends know that they ought to do the same.
