February 24th is the 15th annual Spay Day. Sponsored by The Humane Society of the US & Humane Society International, it is a way to encourage people to save lives by spaying or neutering their pets.
More than three million cats and dogs are euthanized killed each year in shelters. You'll notice I said euthanized and crossed it out. It sounds to clinical and unemotional. They are killed and if you don't spay/neuter your animals you are contributing to the problem. There is really no excuse for not having this done. If money is a concern there are low and no-cost programs sponsored by humane societies.
Animals are not toys and when you adopt a cat or dog you take on a responsibility. Part of that responsibility is to ensure they don't reproduce. I know, kittens and puppies are cute. They aren't so cute when they're starving or being killed.
Spay/neuter your pets
