Okay, I have a lot of rants when it comes to pet owning, but this is going to be my first one.. Please SPAY and NEUTER your animals!! There are no excuses on why this shouldn't be done!! Hundreds of thousands of animals lose their life everyday because their aren't enough homes for them!!! If you decide to own a dog or a cat, it is your responsibility to spay and neuter them! We don't need anymore irresponsible litters or wannabe breeders!! Every time another accidental litter comes into this world, more animals in the shelters get euthanized to make room for them!! Im talking over 3 million, how sad is that? Spay and Neutering also helps with tons of behavioral and health problems! Just because you have a pure breed doesnt mean you have any right to bring more of that breed into this world! Leave it up to the few responsible breeders that are out there, who do health and temperament checks to produce healthier pets. Poor mixes get the worst of it, but that doesnt mean that pure breeds are safe, they are getting euthanized also!! For example, Pitt mixes get the worst because people who dont like pitts dont want it because it is mixed with pitts. and so called pitt enthusiast dont want the pitt mix because its not purebreed! Even if you have a litter, and they all get homes, that does not mean that will be their forever home. Many times, 8 out of 10 times, a dog or any animal for that matter goes homeless or is put in the shelter. Here are some sad facts:
-
Some 70,000 puppies and kittens are born every day in the U.S.
-
Between four million and six million pets are euthanized every year because they are homeless.
-
That means between 11,000 and 16,000 pets are euthanized every day simply because they are homeless.
-
An animal in a shelter is killed every 1.5 seconds.
-
Only one animal in 10 born in the U.S. gets a good home that lasts a lifetime.
