Park Day

Today we got to go to White Rock Lake. Mom doesn't like it much... she say's there are too many people and the bike riders are sometimes pretty pushy, but I like it anyway.

Facts You Need To Know

Every three minutes a dog or cat is killed in the Metroplex (an average of 200,000 healthy animals per year.)

A female cat can have her first litter of kittens at five months.

One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in 7 years.
One female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in 6 years.

Severe dog attacks on people are more likely to be done by unaltered dogs.

Many pet behavior problems (house soiling, marking, spraying, persistent barking/meowing, roaming, escaping, fighting with other pets, biting humans or other pets, bleeding and other issues that go along with female pets being in heat) can be eliminated by a simple spay/neuter.

Large numbers of purebred animals are destroyed every year in pounds and shelters. It is cruel to bring one more litter, even a purebred litter, into the world as long as we are killing so many healthy animals on a daily basis.

The cost to US taxpayers every year to impound, shelter, kill, and dispose of unwanted animals is about $2 billion.

The majority of animals killed every year are young and healthy. Millions of dogs and cats are killed by cars and hundreds of thousands are abandoned, severely neglected, or abused.
