'The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by how its animals are treated,'" Mahatma Gandhi HU Porto H i Pono Holoholona means :(People doing morally right he ping animals) HPH is a spay/neuter organization. Animal sterilization is the best solution in preventing unwanted litters. 6 ' very animal deserves respect and kindness. A fertile female dam can produce 2 litters per year of approximately, 6-10 puppies per litter. In six years one female dog and her offspring can be the source of 67,000 puppies. One IRMO female cat can produce 3 litters per year of approximately 4-6 kittens per litter. In just seven years, one female cat and her young can produce 420,000 kittens. Over the years, round up kills have not solved animal overpopulation - in fact, it is morally unacceptable, non-effective, and a costly tax payer's money drain in our co MITI unity. It is time to focus on stopping the horrifically high euthanasia by supporting what has been scientifically proven to be successful and that is providing low cost spay/neuter for ail. Did you know that your county tax dollar $2.080,119.00 is budgeted to the Humane Society? It's the largest county- contract issued, so why is there no separate agency (ombudsmen) to address your concerns or complaints for the animals'? Make your voice heard by calling your county council representative. because your monies are spent and you don't have a say.

Fact No medical evidence supports this state- ment. Animals do not need to have a litter. Spaying at a young age can also help prevent uterine infections as well as reduce the occurrence of mammary cancer. .: Myth Dogs and cats should be at least 6 months of age before they are spayed or neutered. Fact Early -age spay /neuter can be safely per- formed on puppies and kittens. Consult your veterinarian on appropriate age and weight requirements. .: Myth You don't need to neuter your male because he is not the one having the litters. Fact Without an unneutered male, a female cannot have a litter. Responsible pet ownership means ensuring your pet is not part of the uncontrolled breeding producing the unwanted puppies and kittens. Be part of the solution, not the problem. Please t spay or neuter your pe Advantages of Spayiflg and Neutering Your Pet NATIONAL HUMANE EDUCATION® SOCIETY Fostering a sentiment of kindness to animals P.O. Box 340 Charles Town, WV 25414 -0340 304- 725 -0506 www.nhes.org ea! The Problem More than 6 million unwanted dogs and cats are killed each year in our Nation's shelters. Millions more stray or abandoned animals never make it to a shelter, and die premature deaths from accidents, starvation and disease. * The Solution How do you play a part in stopping these senseless deaths? By spaying and neutering your pet. This action can help stop the cycle of uncontrolled breeding that produces the unwanted, unloved and forsaken animals that currently populate our animal shelters. •iii The Benefits of Spaying Spaying, the procedure used for female pets, eliminates the heat cycle or "estrus." Twice a year dogs can go into heat for approximately 21 days. Cats can be in heat between 3 -15 days as many as 3 or more times a year By sterilizing a female pet, the desperate attempt of a dog or cat to find a mate will cease. Unwelcome visits by potential male "suitors" will terminate as they will no longer be drawn by the scent of the female in heat. Almost half of unspayed dogs develop breast tumors, but virtually no tumors occur if spaying is done before the first heat cycle. Spaying also eliminates the possibility of developing uterine or ovarian cancer. •ii• The Benefits of Neutering Neutering, the procedure used for male pets, eliminates most roaming associated with the search for a mate. This in turn reduces the risk of fights, injury, poisoning and traffic deaths. Neutered pets are more content and better behaved. Neutering reduces the urge of male dogs to "mount" and male cats to "mark" their territory. Neutered pets are also less likely to develop prostate problems and tes- ticular tumors. •40 Understanding the Process Dogs and cats have no psychological sex drive. They feel no need to reproduce and are more quiescent when they are spayed or neutered. For either gender, spaying and neutering removes discomfort, distress and distrac- tion and makes your pet a more content family mem- ber. On the average, spayed and neutered pets live longer, too. Spaying and neutering is a relatively safe and painless operation done by a licensed veterinarian. The cost of the procedure depends on the age, size, sex and health of the pet. Spaying or neutering is typically cheaper for small pets. Many humane societies offer discounts for the operation. Some communities have low -cost clinics available to low- income families. Spaying or neutering can be done at any age, providing the animal is in good health and not overweight. Separating Fact From Myth .2. Myth Spaying /neutering costs too much. * Fact There are spay /neuter programs that offer services at a reduced rate. Also, this charge only occurs once in the pet's life. One can actually save money by having a pet sterilized since the chances of getting certain tumors or cancers are reduced. Treatment of these diseases can be very expensive. * Myth Spaying or neutering will make a pet fat and lazy. Fact Lack of exercise and overfeeding are the main reasons a pet becomes fat. Feed your pet a properly balanced diet and make time for walks or play. * Myth We can always find good homes for a litter. Fact Each home you find for a puppy or kitten is one less home available for the millions of unwanted pets euthanized each year. The process of introducing the law and debating the issue can be a very effective public relations tool. Working to pass a law educates legislators, enhances public aware- ness and gives animals needed legal protection. Presented by The National Humane Education Society Ouestions Answered Regarding Animal Cruelty an animal cruelty case comes to your attention, write letters to the prosecutors, the judge and others involved in the legislative process. Ask that those responsible for the cruel act be given strict penalties so that a clear message of abhorrence to cruelty THE NATIONAL HUMANE EDUCATION® SOCI ETY Fostering a sentiment of kindness to animals P.O. Box 340 Charles Town, WV 25414 -0340 304- 725 -0506 wwwnhes.org will be sent. Too often, these cases are merely brushed aside by the legal system and the perpetrators are let off on very lenient charges. This gives the impression that the animal(s) was worth little, if anything. "Cruelty to animals will be punished to the fullest extent" must be the messaee that is sent loud and clear. FOLLOWING IS A STEP-BY-STEP PLAN FOR MAKING POSITIVE CHANGE IF THE ANIMAL PROTECTION LAWS IN YOUR CITY, YOUR COUNTY OR YOUR STATE ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH: Barbarous acts to animals often lead to brutality to humans and this connection is well documented. It has been observed that serial killers often began their sprees of violence on animals. It is unfortunate that many law- makers and law enforcement officials do not connect the two acts. If they did, we might see stronger laws protect- ing animals and more real discipline for those who break them. We as a society must take these acts of cruelty, however small, very seriously. We need to demand stronger sanc- tions for crimes against animals. We need to take a stand and proclaim that animal cruelty will not be disregarded. To ignore this violence only invites more. As you write letters to the legislators, don't forget to also send letters to the editors of newspapers. Encourage friends and family to join the letter writing campaign. Even one letter can sometimes make the difference! • Obtain copies of existing laws for your area. Ask your librarian, elected officials, humane society or local prosecutor's office for help. Determine whether the law you want to pass would best be considered at the local, county, or state level. A cruelty-to- animals law, for example, might be statewide, while a law establishing pet license fees may be local or countywide. If possible, obtain copies of model laws from other areas. • Enlist support for the law. Contact veterinarians, your local humane society and other interest groups. • Find a sponsor for the law. Begin with your own elected officials. If they are not interested, contact legislators from other districts. • Work with the sponsor's office to generate publicity and media coverage. • Seek support for the legislation from other interest groups (civic associations, tax reform groups, business forums), which may endorse the measure not for its humane aspects, but for its impact on animal control, taxes, or other issues. Discover what Americans Really Think is Humane for Cats Most Americans believe killing is inhumane. Over 80% of Americans believe that leaving a stray cat outside to live out his life is more humane than having the cat caught and killed, according to a national survey conducted for Alley Cat Allies by Harris interactive. If you saw a stray cat in your community and could only choose between two courses of action — leaving the cat where it is outside or having the cat caught and then put down —which would you consider to be the more humane option for the cat? Don't know /refused 5% Americans believe killing is inhumane even if it may prevent a future painful death. Even when asked to assume that a stray cat will die traumatically by being hit by a car in two years' time, more than 70% of respondents still said it is more humane to let the stray cat live outside than to kill the cat now. Alley Cat Allies Alley Cat Allies 7920 Norfolk Avenue, Suite 600 Bethesda, MD 20814 www.alleycat.org /response Discover what Americans Really Think is Humane for Cats Animal control and shelters claim it is more humane to kill. Animal control and shelters claim that it is best to kill stray cats now because they may suffer "bad" deaths sometime in the future. These agencies make decisions every day about the fate of stray cats, and carry them out with taxpayer dollars —yet their policy of killing is in direct opposition to the humane values of most Americans. More than 70% of all cats entering animal shelters are killed. The result of this policy of killing is that over 70% of all cats entering animal pounds and shelters in the United States are killed, according to the most comprehensive research to date. In fact, "euthanasia" at animal pounds and shelters is the number one documented cause of death for cats in this country. You can make a difference and save lives.

Talk with your veterinarian. Even older animals benefit from these procedures. The National Humane Education Society joins other organizations in supporting early -age spaying /neutering: American Humane Association, American Veterinary Medical Association, The American Kennel Club, MSPCA's Angell Memorial Hospital, The Royal SPCA of England, and many other local humane societies and animal control facilities. One final note. Nearly 64% of the animals who enter U.S. shelters are killed. Please be responsi- ble and spay or neuter your pet.

Society den- Early-Age er Early -age spaying /neutering is being performed more and more frequently and the range of benefits provided for both animals and people is great. Research has proven that it is safe to spay and neuter kittens and puppies at a much earlier age than veterinarians once thought. Many veteri- narians are now safely and routinely performing spay and neuter surgery on kittens and puppies at eight weeks of age. Low body fat makes these sur- geries easier to accomplish and puppies and kittens tolerate the procedures very well and recover more quickly than do older animals. Some veterinarians use the "two pound" guideline. As long as a puppy or kitten is healthy and weighs at least two pounds, they may be spayed or neutered safely. What is spaying/neutering? Spaying /neutering are safe, inexpensive and permanent procedures that not only prevent accidental breeding but also reduce potential behavioral and health problems. A female cat does not have to go through the heat cycle before being spayed. In fact, multiple heat cycles increase her chances of developing mammary cancer. In males, neutering reduces the risk of testicular cancer and enlargement of the prostate and related infections. Many animals adopted from shelters are young in age. Studies have shown that if these animals are not spayed/neutered before going into their new homes, many will never be done and these animals then produce more unwanted pets. When these procedures of spaying/neutering are performed early the chance of unwanted litters is eliminated. These animals are not going to contribute to the surplus pet population of tomorrow. The American Veterinary Medical Association has adopted a resolution that endorses the concept of early -age spay /neuter to stem the overpopulation of cats and dogs. The sponsors of the resolution are convinced that the early -age approach will reduce the killing of unwanted pets by preventing unwant- ed litters and by making shelter policies of "neuter before adoption" more effective. The resolution states, "Resolved, that AVMA supports the concept of early (8 -16 weeks of age) ovariohysterectomies/ gonadectomies in dogs and cats, in an effort to stem the overpopula- tion in these species." Some adjust- ment of tech- nique is needed on the part of the veterinarian when operating on pup- pies and kittens, but research shows that performing surgery on a very young animal is no more difficult and may be easier because of less body fat than an older one. During these surgeries, young animals need to be carefully monitored just as older animals do when it comes to anesthesia. Pediatric concerns for kittens and puppies include: hypothermia, hypoglycemia and stress. There really is little scientific information to back up the current standard age of six to eight months for spaying/neutering. This figure seems to have been chosen quite arbitrarily and followed down through the years without question. Today, we rec- ognize the safety and many benefits of early -age spay /neuter. NHES's position: The National Humane Education Society (NHES) supports the concept of early -age spaying /neutering (at least eight weeks of age /or two pounds in weight) in healthy, vaccinated kittens and puppies. Although there is concern regarding limited research available on the physical, behavioral and long -term effects of early -age spaying/ neutering, NHES believes that these procedures have a positive and immediate affect on reduc- ing the serious pet overpopulation problem and therefore should be implemented nationwide. Discover the Truth about Feral Cats A feral cat is not socialized to humans. Though feral cats are members of the domestic cat species and are protected under state anti - cruelty laws, they are typically fearful of humans. Feral cats should not be taken to animal control pounds and shelters. Feral cats' needs are not met by the current animal control and shelter system, because animals who are not adoptable are killed. Feral cats live outside, but are killed in shelters. Even no -kill shelters are not able to place feral cats in homes. Feral kittens can be adopted. Feral kittens can often be adopted into homes, but they must be socialized at an early age. There is a critical window, and if they aren't handled in time, they will remain feral and therefore unadoptable. al Ieycat .org 6 Alley Cat Allies Alley Cat Allies 7920 Norfolk Avenue, Suite 600 Bethesda, MD 20814 alleycat.org /response Discover the Truth about Feral Cats Feral cats can have the same Iifespan as pet cats. And they are just as healthy, too. The incidence of disease in feral cats is just as low as in pet cats. They live healthy, natural lives on their own, content in their outdoor home. Humans are the cause of wildlife depletion. Studies show that the overwhelming cause of wildlife depletion is destruction of natural habitat due to man- made structures, chemical pollution, pesticides, and drought — not feral cats. Catch and kill doesn't work. Animal control's endless, cruel cycle is extremely costly to taxpayers. Cats choose to reside in locations for two reasons: there is a food source — (intended or not) —and shelter. When cats are removed from a location, survivors breed to capacity or new cats move in. This vacuum effect is well documented. Trap- Neuter - Return does work. No more kittens. The population stabilizes and their lives are improved. The behaviors and stresses associated with mating, such as yowling or fighting, stop. The cats are vaccinated before being returned to their outdoor home. Not only does Trap- Neuter - Return make good sense, it is also a responsible, humane method of care for outdoor cats. You can make a difference and save lives. Together, we can educate people about feral cats and the fact that they don't belong in pounds and shelters.
