Research by the Animal Welfare League of Qld shows that 65% of people who
surrender undesexed cats and dogs have not desexed them because they just
didn’t get around to it or because of financial circumstances. Desexing promotion
and reduced prices can make an important incentive for people to desex their
pets sooner rather than later, and prevent unexpected kittens and puppies.
Cats and dogs are safer and happier if desexed. They are less likely to roam and
get into fights, or hit by cars or impounded. They are less likely to get mammary
and testicular cancer, and urinary tract disease.
Owners often find it easier to care for desexed cats and dogs because they are
more homely and affectionate, and less frustrated wanting to get out and find a
mate.
NDN Director Sylvana Wenderhold stated that since the down turn in the
economy, shelters and pounds around Australia are struggling with more animals
being handed in and fewer animals being adopted.
“Our vet clinic is happy to contribute to National Desexing Month to help prevent
the tragedy of unwanted pets,” said (insert spokesperson’s name).
