Penn's vet school has teamed up with the PSPCA to save the lives of our local animals.
Through Penn Vet Shelter's spay/neuter program, Penn and the PSPCA aim to control the animal population in order to stray from the unnecessary killing of adoptable animals through euthanization.
PSPCA CEO Howard R. Nelson said in a press release the majority of animals taken in by shelters were not spayed or neutered by their prior owners.
Spaying and neutering a pet is said to not only control animal population, but also help them stay healthy.
In my opinion, spaying and neutering is not necessarily the main answer...it's getting owners to "keep" their pets and take responsibility for them...
But, all in all, this is a step in the right direction.
