Why Veg?

Pets

Unfortunately, most pets today come from breeders. These are sketchy, underground businesses whose objective is to breed as many animals as possible to sell to individuals and pet stores. Because of the intense amount of breeding, many animals simply cannot find a home. If an animal is sick or is just not "appealing" to buyers, it's left to fend for itself on the streets. An estimated 25 million animals become homeless every year. These animals have been domesticated over the last several hundred years and they don't know how to defend themselves in the wild, let alone the crowded city streets. Because of this, an estimated 9 million of the 25 million stray animals die.

To help prevent this, get your companion animal spayed or neutered. Do not get an animal from a breeder or a store. Instead, adopt an animal from a shelter. Every animal adopted from a shelter is one less animal that will be euthanized or put back onto the streets.
