The Humane Society of the United States estimates about 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized by shelters every year. The statistic is limited by the number of shelters that give such information. A disproportionate number of those 3-4 million are cats. Dividing 3-4 million by 365 (days in a year), and you get 8,200-11,000 dogs/cats per day. This is why people need to understand the importance of having their pets spayed or neutered.
