 Scary statistics
These statistics are from a spay GA pamphlet, a program that offers low-cost spay/neutur options. Their goal is to try and lower pet overpopulation. These statistics are from the USA.
-25,000,000 homeless dogs and cats each year.
-70,000 puppies and kittens born each day.
-17,000,000 dogs and cats destroyed in shelters each year (almost half are pure breeds)
- An estimated 7-11 million homeless animals die a slow, painful death from exposure or starvation, as "road kills" or by the cruelty and neglect of their owners.
