You can help stop the cycle:
Have your own pet spayed or neutered.
Encourage friends, family and neighbours to have their animals spayed and neutered.
Sponsor the spaying and neutering of an animal.
Volunteer to do adoption follow-up at your BC SPCA animal centre to ensure people who have adopted animals have complied with the spay/neuter requirement in their adoption agreement.
