What is the yearly average pets are put to sleep?

It is difficult to give an accurate answer - many hundreds of thousands of animals are put to sleep each year, but the number will vary from country to country. "Too many" is my personal answer, as too many pets are being bred from, which can produce animals with poor health and temperaments, or people owning pets but are ignorant to the animal's needs, so will put them to sleep or put into shelters, where most are put to sleep in order to create more room for new animals being brought in.
