Episode 37: SpayFirst with founder Ruth Steinberger
Shelter euthanasia is not the problem. Shelter overpopulation is not the problem. We are looking for a solution to animal welfare issues while overlooking the real problem. Pet overpopulation and lack of access to care is the cause of increased shelter intake and thus shelter euthanasia. Until we acknowledge that lack of affordable and accessible care is the cause of the problem, we will not be able to reach a solution, and more animals and people who care for them will continue to suffer.
To speak about this pet overpopulation crisis, we invited Ruth Steinberger, founder of SpayFirst. Ruth has been involved in providing affordable and accessible care since the ‘90s and shares what her organization is doing to provide solutions, how the current intake processes are doing more harm than good, and what needs to happen to truly help decrease shelter euthanasia. We are all responsible for this problem, and we all need to be part of the solution.
You can help us reach a wider audience by following, rating, and sharing our episodes. Together we can make a difference for animals and the community.
