SPAY AND NEUTER CLINIC….
We are asking support for establishing an annual spay and neuter clinic in our area. We know that our area would benefit from such an endeavor in the following ways…
-
To reduce the number of unwanted animals, many of whom are dying in the streets. These animals cause a health risk as they are often diseased with parasites, have transmissible venereal tumors and other problems as a result of roaming the streets and by eating contaminated food.
-
To offer a humane approach to the reduction of street animals rather than have these animals poisoned or shot. Poison, randomly left in public areas is not a healthy solution for any of us.
-
To promote a better image of our community….one which cares and will take action to improve the life of the animals here and the overall health of our community.
Why Spay and Neuter??
-
Spay/neuter programs address overpopulation. In the efforts to eliminate suffering, animal sterilization gets to the root of the problem.
-
Spay/neuter programs are healthy. Sterilizing an animal increases its quality of life and health, improves behavior and eliminates unwanted births. The sterilization of animals also decreases the spread of disease.
-
Spay/neuter programs are humane. Spay/neuter programs greatly reduce the number of unwanted animals. This in turn greatly reduces unnecessary suffering, sickness and wrongful death. It is that simple!
