This was sent to me and it touched me.  Does it make you think?

  • For every child born there are 45 cats & dogs born.
  • It costs U.S. taxpayers and estimated 2 billion each year to round up, house, kill and dispose of homeless animals.
  • 450 dogs and cats (1 pet per 6.5 seconds) are destroyed each HOUR in the U.S., because there is not enough homes for them!
  • In order for every dog & cat born to have a home, the average family of 4 would have to own 24 dogs and 36 cats.
  • Please consider adopting a pet from a shelter instead of promoting “breeders” to produce more.
  • Only 1 out of 10 dogs & 1 out of 12 cats born ever finds a permanent home.

Please spay and neuter your animal.  For some it is a matter of life and death.

    these numbers paint a pretty bleak picture of our culture. everyday when the evidence of our selfishness and ignorance slap me in the face, i can’t help to feel utter hopelessness and sadness. we are a cruel species.
