After almost five months, homeless puppies are popping up everywhere amid the rubble left by Hurricane Katrina. Although more than 6000 pets were saved, thousands of animals remain, running loose in neighborhoods, and breeding.
This situation highlights a heartbreaking, chronic problem in our country. Each year, millions of healthy, adoptable cats and dogs are killed because there are not enough homes for them all.
Consider the following facts:
3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized each year
In 7 years, one female cat and her young can produce 420,000 cats
In 6 years, one female dog and her young can produce 67,000 dogs
It costs US taxpayers an estimated $2 billion each year to round up, house, kill, and dispose of homeless animals
This tragic predicament could be easily avoided if each pet owner spayed or neutered their pet. ItÂ’s safe, affordable and improves pet health. Yet many pet owners say they simply have not bothered to do it yet!
Millions of people watch and are positively influenced by The Oprah Show. Please, urge Oprah to do a show on the importance of spaying and neutering. Help save the life of an innocent animal today!
Dear Ms. Winfrey,
After almost five months, homeless puppies are popping up everywhere amid the rubble left by Hurricane Katrina. Although more than 6000 pets were saved, thousands of animals remain, running loose in neighborhoods, and breeding.
This situation highlights a heartbreaking, chronic problem in our country. Each year, millions of healthy, adoptable cats and dogs are killed because there are not enough homes for them all. Ms. Winfrey, you reach millions of viewers and your show has such a positive impact. I wholeheartedly urge you to dedicate a show to the pet overpopulation crisis in America and the importance of spaying and neutering.
Consider the following facts:
· 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized each year
· In 7 years, one female cat and her young can produce 420,000 cats.
· In 6 years, one female dog and her young can produce 67,000 dogs
· It costs US taxpayers an estimated $2 billion each year to round up, house, kill, and dispose of homeless animals.
This unfortunate predicament could be avoided if all pet owners spayed and neutered their pets. It’s safe, affordable and improves pet health. Please help educate your viewers about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. Help dispel some of the myths surrounding spaying and neutering and inform viewers of the many benefits. Include touching stories of the many endearing animals that have been adopted from shelters. How have they affected their owners’ lives? Maybe even have a pet adoption on your show!
I urge you to dedicate a show to the pet overpopulation crisis and the humane spaying and neutering solution.
Sincerely,
[your name here]
