There
are currently 8 million dogs, cats, puppies and kittens euthanized
in the United States every year simply because there aren't
enough homes for all of them. Besides preventing more unwanted
puppies and kittens, spaying/neutering your dog or cat prevents
diseases and prevents many behavioral problems that occur in
unaltered pets. The risk of mammary cancer is greatly reduced
if you spay your dog before age one. Also, cancers of the reproductive
organs are eliminated. Behavioral problems such as aggressiveness
towards same sex dogs, marking or spraying in the house and
roaming to find a mate are also eliminated or reduced if you
spay or neuter your pet.
Although
there are an estimated 100 million cats and dogs kept by responsible
and caring people in the United States,there is also a tragic
number of these companion animals who suffer horrid cruelties
associated with abandonment. Uncounted millions more suffer
sickness, exposure, starvation and death on the streets of the
nation's cities and towns, and in the fields and forests
of the countryside.
