Every week I’m dumbfounded by the animals people of Houston consider disposable. Our transport rescue has saved more than 29,000 of them since 2013, and with all the animal rescue groups here and the new ones now transporting animals out of Houston, maybe one day we can achieve our dream of being a “no kill” city.
There will be no sneaking up on that lot!
It’s nuts – where do they all come from? Have Texans not heard of neutering..?
Spaying and neutering is not part of the mindset in Houston. It wasn’t in the Southeast, either, my region of origin. The shelters promote it; they and many rescue groups offer low and no cost spay and neuter clinics and days. But it takes a long, long time to change people’s perspectives.
Strange how these things vary. We didn’t have Pip neutered, but that was back in the 80s. Whereas for Scruff and Poppy, it was a given – like microchipping.
Same–we didn’t have our family dog neutered, either, and I didn’t have my first dogs fixed. But I’d never do that now. They all get spayed and neutered.
