“The question is not, ‘Can they reason?’

Nor, ‘Can they talk?’

But rather, ‘Can they suffer?’”

Jeremy Bentham

Every year, millions of companion animals are born homeless

And they die horrible deaths on our streets and in our shelters

Herculean efforts on the part of world wide humane societies

Have done little to stop this tragedy, which continues to occur

Far too many pet owners today still refuse to spay or neuter their own pets

Over eighty percent of the animals we rescued after Katrina were not ‘fixed’

One need only study the dire statistics of viciously cruel puppy mill factories

Unscrupulous breeders, pet dumping, and gross neglect, part of this tragic mix

Today is International Homeless Animals Day, which was established

To shed needed light on a truly horrendous problem that’s not going away

Please Spay and Neuter your own pets; please help save One More Life today

“Think occasionally of the suffering,

Of which you spare yourself the sight.”

Dr. Albert Schweitzer

"The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them,

But to be indifferent to them. That's the essence of inhumanity.”

George Bernard Shaw

"Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is,

Whether its victim is human or animal,

We cannot expect things to be better in this world.”

Rachel Carson

"When a man has pity on all living creatures,

Only then is he noble.”

Buddha

“The greatness of a nation,

And its moral progress,

Can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

Gandhi

“If you have men who exclude any of God’s creatures

From the shelter of their compassion and pity,

You have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.”

St. Francis of Assisi
