Little Pet Project intends to be a happy place, but we can't ignore the truth and we hope you won't either.
In our experience we have found that many people while they have big hearts and good intentions, are not completely aware of how hellish life can be for homeless pets. We're not here to preach or bring you down, just to share our love of animals and our desire to help them.
We have carefully chosen some media to post here, for its powerful message. We hope that you will visit our links page and find an organization to support. Picture yourself making a difference. Pets need better people.
"As a nation, we claim to love cats and dogs. Millions of households have pets, and billions of dollars are spent yearly on pet supplies and food. But as a nation, we should take a hard, sobering look at a different annual statistic: the millions of dogs and cats given up to shelters or left to die on the streets. And the numbers tell only half the story.
Every cat or dog who dies as a result of pet overpopulation whether humanely in a shelter or by injury, disease or neglect is an animal who, more often than not, would have made a wonderful companion, if given the chance. Tremendous as the problem of pet overpopulation is, it can be solved if each of us takes just one small step, starting with not allowing our animals to breed". The Humane Society of the United States.
One thing we are certain of: good people either refuse to look, or just simply have no understanding of the issues.
This video will hopefully help people see what goes on everyday, 365 days a year, in every city, every state in this great country.
This video leans toward villifying LA county officers, but in our opinion, the real villans are among us - citizens of this country who refuse to spay and neuter their pets, and allow accidental litters, and then turn to the county shelters to take in, and dispose of, their "trash." We are horrified, and hope you will be as well - please help, by spaying or neutering your own pet, and start asking others to do the same.
A Sobering Statistic: Approximately 50,000 animals were euthanized last year at the three animal agencies in Tampa Bay. That's nearly 137 every day, 365 days a year.
The ASPCA reports the numbers; this should tell us all we need to know. The numbers are from just 3 shelters in the Tampa Bay area.
From BrightLion Creations, a snapshot view of just one shelter.
