Buying from breeders versus Rescuing A Pet Part 1

There is currently a worldwide pet overpopulation epidemic.

Who’s at fault?

Irresponsible breeders, and irresponsible owners.

No one can argue the fact that there is a worldwide pet overpopulation problem which is only growing the more people ignore the issue.

In the US, there are 45 cats and dogs for every person born. Only 1 out of 10 dogs born ever gets a home. Only 1 out of 12 cats born ever find a home.

800 dogs and cats are KILLED each HOUR. In Nashville, Tennessee alone, a state in which there are only kill only shelters, there are 300 to 500 dogs and cats euthanized (killed) every day within a 50 mile radius. Once the pets time is up, they are killed; given a death sentence because of state legislation and lack of money. We are talking about perfectly healthy animals who are desperate for a good home.

Rescue groups do what they can to get pets out of these kill only shelters, but they are usually focused on one particular breed, like cocker spaniel rescue. What about the poor loving mutt? It has no advocate, no people willing to drive hundreds of miles as if running an underground railroad to shuttle to safety the dogs who have been selected to be rescued. They relay them up to states like New York, where they are then checked and vetted and then fostered or adopted by their forever family.

But that is a best case scenario for the lucky few. There just are not enough homes out there for the amount of dogs and cats available for adoption.

Can you imagine how many dogs and cats are killed world wide daily? A pound in Nashville is reported to kill 95 of every 100 dogs that goes in there. And yet dogs are not spayed or neutered, so more puppies or kittens are inevitable. It’s a vicious cycle.

So where does the problem really lie?
