We've finally turned the tide in the century-long struggle against pet overpopulation. Only thirty years ago, one family dog and cat in five lost his or her life in a shelter every year. Now it's one in twenty.
Our mission, however, isn't to reduce overpopulation. It's to end it. But how can we get any further ahead when most of us are already working flat out, running only on adrenaline much of the time?
The answer lies in working smarter, not harder.
Part of working smart is to build on the work of comrades of the heart who have come before us. Most of their progress came from the dramatic increase in pet sterilization rates driven by an aggressive Legislation--Education--Sterilization strategy. To go further, however, we need to create a Second Generation LES program that builds on past successes and all that we have learned in recent years.
