Too many groups are using our natural love of animals to get money and do not care about animals at all. These groups pretend to want to champion the safety of animals but kill them at the same rate of shelters that do not care at all. When people learn the truth, they can also find out how they can help protect saveable animals. Twenty-five percent of saveable animals that are killed in shelters are purebreds. Learn and then advocate.
The "Humane" Society recently boasted about donating $3.3 million to American shelters. Big deal. They take in more than $120 million annually (much from celebrity commercials and deceptive appeals) and show assets of more than that.
ASPCA has one shelter in NYC that is currently withholding pain meds from animals, postponing new volunteer admissions and is short on food. See what they take in, what they pay their leaders.
Investigate the number of animals that HSUS, PETA, and ASPCA KILL. Where is one spay/neuter clinic that any of them have established?
Small shelters do the actual heartbreaking rescue work that they take credit for. Give them your money and time.

So I am interested in this book and will be looking for it at my library. I have not read it nor have I read all the reviews, but of the ones I have read, no one has mentioned what I think to the best solution to pet over-population; SPAYING and NEUTERING!I have been in animal rescue for the last 22 years and would say that based on what I've seen the only possible way to help unwanted animals is to stop making them. I don't care if you have some Eukanuba, AKC, rare as hell show winning pet FIX IT! Or simply don't breed it! As they say to people, abstanance is 100% effective! I am sorry if I offened someone and yes I love puppies too but even purebred dogs end up as "unwanted", let alone all the "accidantal" liters that people let happen because they either A) are selfish and want puppies to sell or just cause its fun. or B)are to f-ing lazy to spay their pets. Yes I know it expensive and vets should charge less but if you can't afford to fix your pet, quite frankly you can't afford to have a pet.
Anyway just thought I would add my two cents to the over-population disscussion.
