There is no official record of how many animals are euthanized in Louisiana each year. Animals may be euthanized by veterinarians, animal shelter workers, and zoologists. It is estimated that millions of animals are euthanized in the United States each year.
According to the Humane Society of the United States approximately four to five million animals (cats and dogs) are euthanized each year. It is estimated that 61% of dogs and 75% of cats that enter a shelter are euthanized. On a related note, USA Today predicts that the US spends about two billion dollars each year to impound, shelter, euthanize, and dispose of homeless animals.

No one knows exactly how many stray or abandoned animals there are in the United States, but estimates range higher than 12 to 15 million. We do know that every year between 6 and 8 million animals enter local shelters, 4 million of which will be euthanized and never find a home.

There are an estimated 3 to 4 million cats and dogs that are euthanized in the UK each year. Sadly, many of these animals are healthy, but unwanted.

From 25-30, according to: http://www.news-journal.com/news/content/news/stories/02262006Animal_shelter.html
It is estimated that there are between 1.5 to 2 million dogs euthanized every year. This would translate to 0.06 dogs euthanized each second.

The primary consideration is health of the animal - an animal with severe injuries or disease is more likely to be euthanized for humane reasons. Probably the second most used factor is age - younger animals are more adoptable, so older animals tend to be euthanized faster. Other factors include the reason the animal was given to the shelter - fighting animals, aggressive animals and behavior problem animals are more likely to be euthanized because they aren't safe to adopt out, while animals that were given up because the owner couldn't take the pet with him/her to a new house are much easier to get adopted out. There may also be local ordinances that require certain breeds (usually pit bulls, German shepherds, Doberman pinchers, etc.) to be euthanized rather than adopted, or the facility may have a policy of euthanizing after so many days in the shelter.
Approximately 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters each year. However there is no way to determine the exact numbers because there are too many animals and shelters. And no, there are no sources that I can find that have just the numbers for the cats. IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!!!!
There are about 3-4 million animaks euthanized each year by shelters. There actually are about 4-6 million animals euthanized in shelters in America each year. The above are just estimates. Shelters don't always keep accurate records, and no thorough surveys have been done. No one knows the real numbers. "Euthanasia" means the killing of an animal that is suffering from an incurable and terminal disease. Although sometimes shelters use this word to describe the animals they kill when they're out of space, this is by definition incorrect. These animals aren't sick: they're just overpopulated. The right word is "killing," not "euthanasia." Breeders should think twice before bringing more pets into the world when so many suffer due to overpopulation.
