HOW CAN YOU HELP TO SAVE THESE SPECIAL "POUNDIES" ?
*Official figures show that in
NSW over 60,000 unwanted but healthy dogs and cats are "put to sleep"
or destroyed in pounds and shelters every year.
This is a horrifying statistic that can only be blamed on the massive
oversupply of animals and something has to be done to stop this trend
from continuing.
EVERY DAY, PUPPIES AND KITTENS ARE BORN INTO A WORLD WHERE ONE DAY,
THESE CUTE AND CUDDLY "BALLS OF FUR" WILL BECOME PART OF THIS
HORRIFYING STATISTIC
Groups such as ours, do play a small part in helping to change the
lives for some of these animals but now, everyone needs to band
together to try and stop this horrendous spriral from continuing into
the future.
Maybe, you don't wish to adopt one of our "poundies" and you may not
be in a position to become a foster carer or help us in any other way
but THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS THAT YOU CAN HELP.
Firstly, In the coming months, politicians in NSW will have an
opportunity to vote on new Legislation that will play a huge part in
helping to stop this overpopulation from continuing into the future.
To find out more about the legislation and what you can do, please
visit: http://www.pawsforaction.com
and http://www.deathrowpets.net
Secondly, please ensure that you desex your own animals and encourage
everyone that you know to do the same. That way, you will not be
adding to the problem.
Finally, please spread the word to everyone that you can and they too,
will have an opportunity to play a part in helping to change the
situation for future generations.
