The Spay and Neuter Web Ring

The Spay and Neuter Web Ring The Spay and Neuter Web Ring is a selection of sites that links together websites to raise the awareness and impact spaying and neutering has on our animal population.  Neutering is the removal of an animal's reproductive organ, either all of it or a considerably large part. It is the most drastic surgical procedure with sterilizing purposes. The process is also referred to as castration for males and as spaying for females. Colloquially, it is often referred to as fixing. In male horses, the process is referred to as gelding. Unlike in humans, neutering is the most common sterilizing method in animals. In the United States, most humane societies, animal shelters and rescue groups (not to mention numerous commercial entities) urge pet owners to have their pets "spayed or neutered" to prevent the births of unwanted litters, contributing to the overpopulation of animals. In Europe, the procedure is less commonly performed, especially in dogs.

Some shocking facts include:

• 10-20 MILLION animals are euthanized every year; this doesn't include strays or those who die in the streets.
   
• Every 1.5 seconds a shelter animal is killed.
   
• One cat & her litter can produce 420,000 cats in 7 years - 10 MILLION in 10 years!
   
• Only 1 animal out of every 10 born in the USA gets a good home.
   
• Accidental births (cats who have owners who just didn't get them spayed/neutered) are the MAIN CONTRIBUTORS to the animal over-population problem.

Please do your part to stop this tragedy! Have your pet spayed or neutered and help spread the word to others about this crisis!
