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.
