We need to create a SIGNIFICANT reduction in the oversupply of companion animals onto the market in New South Wales, Australia.
60,000 healthy, but unwanted cats and dogs are killed in NSW pounds each year
Whilst the work that shelters, rescue groups, volunteers and foster carers do is vital, it is a band-aid. It does not solve the problem. Something must be done about the chronic oversupply into a market that does not have the capacity to provide homes for all.
Let's fix the problem -- stop the oversupply by tackling all the reasons for it:
**Restrict the sale of dogs and cats to registered breeders, pounds and animal shelters **Stop all sources of mass production of kittens and puppies for profit **Make de-sexing mandatory for all pets sold **Increase the re-homing rate in pounds and shelters via low-kill policies
