RE: How would you solve the problem of 2.7 million dogs + cats getting euthanized every year here in the USA?
It isn't only a problem in the US...here in South Africa we have the same issues...made more complex by historical inequalities, lack of education and access to animal healthcare and sterilization. There are loads of animal welfare Nonprofits that provide free sterilization drives in poorer areas but still the problem exists. I myself have also adopted a rescue dog and feel a bit irked when others buy dogs bred by backyard breeders. I'm not sure there is an easy solution other than education, education, education.... Your dog looks a real cutie.
Thank you, he is a cutie, we have 3 now. (that's our limit :) Really interesting to hear how it is in other countries. I remember spending time in Mali, and dogs were the least of their worries. I agree on the education for sure. Here in the States, I am not sure we limit back yard breeders as much as we can, it is really bad in the poorer areas of the country. Thanks for your input from SA! xoLEE
That top photos was when we picked him up at the shelter! :)
