Sigh, 绝育!不绝育的话,这种悲剧永远不会停,无论中国还是美国。这是美国Humane Society 的统计

每年进入美国Humane Society的猫狗等宠物是六至八百万,人道处死的三到四百万。即使有立法,又能怎样? 人类必须控制自己的欲望,自觉承担起减少猫口狗口的社会责任。自觉限制打击靠繁殖猫狗赚钱的puppy/kitten mills 和backyard breeders

How many animals enter animal shelters each year? And how many are euthanized?

The HSUS estimates that animal shelters care for 6-8 million dogs and cats every year in the United States, of whom approximately 3-4 million are euthanized. At this time, there is no central data reporting agency for animal shelters, so these numbers are estimates; however, the Asilomar Accords method is gaining momentum as a standard for more accurately tracking these numbers. Annual statistics for approximately 150 shelters across the country are posted at asilomaraccords.org. You can help us develop a more accurate picture of the problem by encouraging your local shelters to report their data.

即使是以追求动物福祉和动物权利著称的Peta,2013年也处死了2000多猫狗,无语。
