每年進入美國Humane Society的貓狗等寵物是六至八百萬，人道處死的三到四百萬。即使有立法，又能怎樣？ 人類必須控製自己的欲望，自覺承擔起減少貓口狗口的社會責任。自覺限製打擊靠繁殖貓狗賺錢的puppy/kitten mills 和backyard breeders
How many animals enter animal shelters each year? And how many are euthanized?
The HSUS estimates that animal shelters care for 6-8 million dogs and cats every year in the United States, of whom approximately 3-4 million are euthanized. At this time, there is no central data reporting agency for animal shelters, so these numbers are estimates; however, the Asilomar Accords method is gaining momentum as a standard for more accurately tracking these numbers. Annual statistics for approximately 150 shelters across the country are posted at asilomaraccords.org. You can help us develop a more accurate picture of the problem by encouraging your local shelters to report their data.
