Overpopulation

catsunlimited.org

An estimated 70,000 cats and dogs are born each day in the United States. Animal shelters and veterinarians throughout the country urge pet owners to neuter or spay their dogs and cats in order to combat the problem of animal overpopulation.

Millions of unwanted and homeless cats are born in our country each year. During the peak of the kitten season (from late April to early September), pounds and "shelters" kill unwanted and abandoned cats at the rate of ONE PER MINUTE.

Other cats less fortunate are simply left to wander, and eventually will:

• Become easy marks for cruel, sadistic pranksters; or ...
• Die a slow, painful and lonely death by starvation or illness; or ...
• Be torn to shreds by stronger, more desperate animals in the wild; or ...
• Get crushed to death under someone's wheels on a lonely highway; or ...
• Fall victim to torture and murder during the rituals of Satanic cults; or ...
• Meet a horrible fate at the hands of "bunchers" — ruthless criminals who steal people's pets and grab stray animals for eventual sale to laboratories.

If those unwanted and homeless cats do manage to survive these hazards and the elements, they will soon attain maturity and bring forth five or six kittens, mostly females, to continue this vicious cycle.

EVERY CAT OWNER whose pet is UN-spayed or UN-neutered (and allowed to roam) must bear the GUILT for this terrible over-population.
