Been Off Doing Some More Street Rescues,
But I Wanted To Bring ‘Spay Day’ Into View,
In The Sad World of Unwanted Pets, So Much To Do,
This Year Alone, 10 Million Unloved Lives, Will Be Through
“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 Employee
Tomorrow, February 28, 2011
Marks the 18th 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
The reason our animal shelters are overflowing, today
Yet, despite the overflowing shelters all across America
Puppy Mills and Breeders, keep producing dogs and cats
These very sad days, when any type of money can be made
Greedy Profiteers, simply choose to ignore, any and all facts
The only way to reduce these unwanted and unloved animals
Is a National 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 eighteen years ago
And, some progress was being made, until America’s economy sank
Today, many people cannot 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 starving and unloved, 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, Tomorrow, February 28th, for the 18th 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 I agree with Ron Hull, humans need a Spay Day too. We don't need to produce so many children now that the survival rate is so high.
