(9,126 posts)And the biggest part would be teaching the community the importance + benefits of spay/neuter. I can't believe in this day and age the old agricultural beliefs that pervade that fixing your pet somehow "ruins" them. I've heard people say they think their cat should have at least one litter for their health. Uh...
And then there are the dudes with the uncut pitbulls that are everywhere around here. Oy. Yes, I get the manhood projection. But it's the same with dudes and their chihuahuas. I was talking with one guy, giving him info on getting his five year-old (!) chihuahua fixed, that he lets run free on the street and it was the same thing. Smh...
But mostly it is hooking people up with low cost services. Most vets here charge over $100 for cats and more for dogs. But I have never heard of a community helping and learning how to hold their own clinics. That is absolutely amazing. Making communities self-sufficient is just the greatest idea.
Thanks again!
