I wish it was a 1:1 ratio. How bout for every one pet that is adopted there are hundreds that do not ever get adopted. Approximately 3 million pets are killed each year in the US in shelters because owners do not get their pets spayed/neutered, people buy from puppy mills or backyard breeders, and owners abandon their pets. Adoption is part of the answer but honestly there are not enough homes for all the pets that are currently out there, not to mention all the ones that will be born or abandoned tomorrow. I would like to see more work focused on banning puppy mills, mandatory spay/neuter unless you are a registered breeder, outlawing chaining of dogs, regulations about only adopting out pets that are spayed/neutered from government facilities, government funded low cost or no cost spay/neuter, etc. It's not just come adopt Fluffy, isn't he cute.
