3,000
to 5,000 puppies and kittens are born every hour
in the United States alone. That far outnumbers the homes available for them.
An estimated 14 million are euthanized in shelters each year. Add to that the
countless millions who die along the roadside, starve to death in their humans'
backyards, wind up as bait for illegal dogfighting rings, or are used in
animal experimentation. Too many animals die needlessly in this country each and
every day. Spay/Neuter

Neutersol
Zinx Gluconate Neutralized
by Arginine
July,
2003: Now there is another choice in additional to traditional surgical
neutering for male puppies! This new drug, developed by the late Dr. Mostafa S.
Fahim, Director of the Center of Reproductive Science and Technology, School of
Medicine, University of Missouri-Columbia. The process of obtaining FDA approval
began in 1991!
The
procedure, used in male pups between the ages of 3 and 10 months, involves injecting
the drug into each of the testicles using a very fine needle. The exact dose is
calibrated using the the width of the testicles.
The
surgery free method is quick, easy, and permanent, and should allow more guardians
to have their boy pups altered.
Neutersol
is 99.6% effective.
More
information is available at www.neutersol.com.

"Stamp
Out" Companion Animal Overpopulation
2002:
125 million U.S. commemorative stamps bearing the humane message
"Neuter/Spay" and the adorable faces of two former shelter residents
will go on sale nationwide this month (September 20th).
The
stamp will be available for purchase for a full year. Printed in the stamp margin
will be a bilingual National Call to Spay/Neuter Action, and a toll-free phone
number for community and national spay/neuter resources, as well as a URL for
a searchable web site
The
Prevent A Litter Coalition started the "Stamp Out" project in 1996,
spearheaded by project director, Hope Tarr.
"People
who let their dogs and cats have litters in order to show their children
the "miracle of birth" should come witness "the miracle of
death" performed in the back rooms of animal shelters all over the country."
~ Phyllis Wright, Director of Sheltering, Humane
Society of the United States |

One
Less Reason Not to Neuter...
Is
part of the reason you're not having your male dog or cat neutered an issue of
aesthetics? Think it's not very macho to have a big, NEUTERED dog following at
your heels? (Believe it or not, this is the reason cited by many people.) Well,
thanks to science and technology, that's no longer an excuse. There is a company
in Kansas City producing a product called Neuticles®, and yes, neuticles are
testiclular implants created exclusively for dogs and cats. Neuticles
Petite are designed for a 1 to 3 pound dog, and cost $19.00 for one or $30 for
a pair. Sizes range from petite clear up to a size appropriate for a 65 to 90+
lb male, a single of that size costs $23.50; the pair is $37.00. There
are also Neuticles for your feline friends. And a Neuticles necklace for you.
I know that's what I'll be asking for
this Christmas! See
them at www.Neuticles.com. |
"No
single segment of the public can be blamed for dog and cat overpopulation; overall
responsibility is shared by many groups. The source of the problem includes accidental
matings, purposeful breeding by those hoping to sell the offspring, and "personal"
reasons like, 'I want my children to experience the miracle of birth,' and 'I
feel it's unnatural to castrate my male.'" ~The Fund
