URGENT

PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS.  Reproduction creates many more animals than there are people to care for them.  Stray animals live lives of hunger, loneliness, and desperation.  PLEASE HELP STOP THIS TRAGEDY.
******
Don't buy a pet.  Adopt a pet.  Save a sweet, loving little cat or dog from being euthanized.

Contact your local humane society for more information about these and other topics pertaining to the welfare of animals.
