We are all aware of the large numbers of puppies and kittens born every year for which there are no homes, and which have to survive on the streets. "Alliance" supports programmes which encourage owners to have their pets (both dogs and cats) and working dogs neutered, so that the population of animals in need will, in time, be reduced. This aim is difficult to achieve, however, as many people find the cost of these operations difficult to bear and/or do not believe that it is right to "interfere" with nature.

It is important, therefore, that along with caring for the current population of strays, young people are educated to understand that it is good for the welfare of their animals if they are neutered.

We can all play a part in this process of education, both by example (having our own pets neutered) and in conversation. Where it is possible to provide support to enable people to neuter their animals, this is done by the group, as well as taking strays to the vet.
