“I feel so devastated whenever I go into the euthanasia room.
I see all the animals that we’re putting down, and it breaks my heart.
If more people would spay or neuter their pets, we wouldn’t be doing this.”
An Animal Shelter Director
This Tuesday, February 22, 2011
Will mark the 17th Annual ‘Spay Day’
Unless all pet owners start spay/neutering
Our Pet Overpopulation will never go away
Thousands of unwanted kittens and puppies
Are still being born in the U.S.A, every single day
The fate of most - homelessness and shortened lives
And, why our animal shelters are overflowing, today
The only way to reduce these unwanted and unloved pets
Is a massive pet spay/neuter campaign, to reduce birth rates
Unless many more people, begin to realize its vast importance
Homelessness, starvation, and being euthanized, will be their fate
The humane societies started Spay Day some seventeen years ago
And, some progress was being made, until America’s economy sank
Today, many people can’t afford to keep their pets, or their offspring
So they dump them, and these abandoned pets join the unwanted ranks
It is why so many pets are now unloved and starving, in America
It is why so many homeless pets, are still being euthanized, today
It is why America’s too few animal rescuers, are so very sadly busy
Attempting to round up, trap, spay/neuter, and feed, America’s strays
It is once again, an endless cycle, of more and more, unwanted pets
It is a lack of people willing to adopt, and our selfish modern society
So, on Spay Day, veterinary clinics and hospitals, all across our country
Offer Low-Cost Spay/Neutering – and some of their services are even free
Please Join Us, Tuesday, February 22nd, for the 17th Annual SPAY DAY
Please Help Us Spread Awareness to Pet Lovers, in Every U.S. Community
Please Help Us Save Many More Animals, From Abandonment and Starvation
Please Advocate Pet SPAY/NEUTER and Help Us, Help Everyone, Finally See
And Please Visit The Spay Day Website, Which I Have Linked Below,
To Assist Others, In Finding Spay/Neuter Clinics, Where They Can Go:

sits up and pays attention to this very important message.

Our city's "Spay Day' was yesterday. I got my 'boys' fixed. If more vets would open their hearts to these days, more owners would have their pets fixed. The reason most people don't bother is because of the cost. Spay Day is a wonderful idea. Thank you for giving out this information. You may have saved many animals today.
