End Euthanasia of Healthy and Treatable Animals!
Sponsored by: American Humane AssociationEvery year, an estimated four to six million dogs and cats are euthanized in animal care and control facilities in the United States. This problem is pervasive, and it remains a source of shame for our country.
The American Humane Association's Getting to Zero® Initiative is a national undertaking based on the profound belief that, within our lifetime, American society can reduce to zero the number of healthy or treatable dogs, cats and other companion animals that are euthanized in animal care and control facilities.
This program will help identify, support and obtain funding for the replication of community-based interventions that have demonstrated success in reducing the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals. These include adoption, foster care, spay/neuter, training, transfer and generally bringing community support where it is needed most.
Sign this petition today to support programs like American Humane's Getting to Zero® Initiative, because these animals all deserve a chance to live!

euthanasia is not the best approach to control population. We should end it from the beginning by neuter/spay pets and stop puppy mills from breeding more pets.

No me agrada la idea de la eutanasia cada vez que llevo un animal a un albergue pienso lo vann a amatar es triste rescatarlos de la desgracia de estar en la calle expuestos a todo tipo de maltraltrato para imponerle uno peor , lamantablemente no hay cupo para tantos animales y esta es la unica solucion pienso que los amantes y defensores de los animales deberian pedir fondos federales en el caso de PR por cada municipalidad con el proposito de visitar las comunidades convencer a cada propietario de esterilizar su mascota y con estos fondos hacer un donativo para costear la mitad de la esterilizacion , todo debe trabajarse en conjunto con ,los veterinarios amantes de su profesion amantes de los animales para que trabajen por estos para estos y para poder disminuir la sobrepoblacion de manera que evitemos ver en las calles tanto maltrato.Trabajo en equipo tres grupos gobierno federal ,protector ,veterinario para asi llegar a la comunidad ,charlas de prevencion .

The prevailing attitude about animals seems to be "use, abuse, and discard" and this needs to change. All living beings deserve love, care and respect. What does it say about us as human beings that we so easily and readily end the lives of countless healthy animals? Please help put an end to this senseless and cruel slaughter. I believe that when we come up with, and implement a better and more thoughtful and humane solution to pet overpopulation, then we will have attained a higher state of awareness and consciousness that will benefit us all.

we would not kill a human if they were alive and healthy, some people think animals are not humans but I think different. They have a heart just like a human.

I understand there is overcrowding but a longer effort and period of adoption needs to be allowed to these wonderful pets. I used to work in a Vet Clinic and gave up my job because I saw ONE healthy dog be put down and I couldn't deal with this cruel act. Help save these wonderful animals that are ready to give there love and companionship to anyone willing to give them a chance.

People should be held responsible for spaying,neutering and taking proper care of their pets.

I think "Best Friends" in Kanab, Utah has the right idea. This rescue organization never euthanizes any animal no matter what. These animals came about because of people and people need to take care of them.

Education of the public about spay and neutering is very important and this begins in the schools.. This should be an educational program in each school system across the country..!

Anything which can bring an end to the suffering and misery of thousands of animals is a positive move.

Euthanasia of healthy pets is wrong. It is not the answer to overpopulation. More emphasis should be put into mandatory spay and neuter programs to prevent overpopulation in the first place.

Animal Control should investigate all advertisments in the classified section of every newspaper which advertise puppies for sale. There are too many back-yard breeders trying to make an extra buck at the expense of innocent animals.
