The discussion of Charities will continue. The current one under discussion is LAWS.
There are very few people who have not heard of spaying and neutering your pet either from literature or from different stories being documented on the news, talk shows etc. The reality is that there are thousands of unwanted animals finding their way to the shelters each year. This is the result of puppies and kittens created by unneutered and spayed animals and their subsequent effect on the overpopulation of companion pets. The whole truth is that there are far more animals seeking adoption than homes that are available.
During the period of June 1st 2002 to May 31st 2005 , LAWS spent $132, 820.70 on spay/neuter and those numbers are of 3 years ago so with the rising population that number in the last 3 has probably increased. Remember this is a non government funded society. LAWS tries to look after these animals as best as possible.LAWS relies on supporters who make regular donations to shelter and thier adoption/shelter fees along with generous donations of their supporters.
This amount in dollars is shocking enough but think about it one female dog and her offspring can create 67,000 dogs in six years. One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in seven years. Each year many animals are abandoned and hurt because of overpopulation.
LAWS can only do their part to help as many of these animals that end on thier doorstep but what about the others that don’t. How do they make thier way in the world with no home, food, or attention needed to make their quality of life better?
