Spay Day USA Creates Awareness About an Important Solution to Pet Overpopulation
On Tuesday, February 27, 2007, the 13th annual Spay Day USA will shine a national spotlight on spay/neuter — one of the most important solutions to pet overpopulation.
Spay Day USA activities around the country allow concerned community members, such as veterinarians, animal welfare professionals and animal owner/guardians, to join forces to spay or neuter as many animals as possible. It's also an opportunity to educate the public about the importance of spay/neuter and to raise funds for spay/neuter programs in the community.
According to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), which manages Spay Day USA, event participants have spayed or neutered an estimated 1,366,000 companion animals and feral cats since Spay Day USA's inception in 1995.
How Can You Participate in Spay Day USA 2007?
HSUS suggests that you can organize or volunteer at a Spay Day USA event in your community, or you can simply sponsor the spay or neuter of at least one companion animal or feral cat.
