According to the Humane Society, approximately 4 million un-rescued dogs and cats are euthanized each year because there’s not enough pet-lovers willing to adopt.
Sasha Grey: “Spaying and neutering is incredibly important. … [I]t keeps the animals out of the shelters, and there’s too many unwanted animals out there already.”
PETA: “Each year, 6 to 8 million stray and abandoned animals wind up in animal shelters in the U.S., and approximately half of them must be euthanized because of a lack of good homes.”

Spay Day celebrates the importance of animal birth control and encourages all guardians of companion animals to have their dogs and cats spayed or neutered. Each year, 6 to 8 million stray and abandoned animals wind up in animal shelters in the U.S., and approximately half of them must be euthanized because of a lack of good homes.
The single most important thing that we can do to save cats and dogs from the suffering and death caused by overpopulation is to spay or neuter our animal companions. Just one unaltered female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in only six years. In seven years, one female cat and her offspring can produce an incredible 420,000 kittens!
In honor of Spay Day, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite celebrity campaigns promoting animal birth control. Watch this short video from Glee‘s Jan Lynch, and then check out which other stars are spreading the message about spaying and neutering.
