2001 Animal Control Operating Expense: $378,880

MORE COST TO TAXPAYERS!
CATS turned
in 2001-2002 = 3,259
(Assuming an average of 4 kittens to a litter, this represents the litters
of 815 unspayed female cats.)
It costs a mere $45 to spay and rabies-vaccinate a female cat through the
Kindness Clinic.
815 cats x $45 = $36,675
DOGS turned
in 2001-2002 = 11,267
(Assuming an average of 6 puppies to a litter, this represents the litters
of 1877 unspayed female dogs.)
It costs an average of $78 to spay and rabies-vaccinate a female dog
through the Kindness Clinic.
1877 dogs x $78 = $146,406
TWO YEAR
COST to trap, transport, hold, sort & euthanize cats & dogs =
$822,454
TWO YEAR COST to spay parent cats & dogs = $183,081 (22%!)
SPAY-NEUTERING
ANIMALS SAVES TAXPAYER $$$ FOR OUR KIDS!
(It also teaches our children, through example, to be responsible pet
owners)
ANIMAL
CONTROL WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT SPAY-NEUTERING IS WELFARE FOR
IRRESPONSIBLE PET OWNERS
