Cost of Spay and Neuter ~ 600 Million Dogs

Did you know that the average cost of spay surgery, unless subsidized by a public agency, is about $400?! 🤯 A spay surgery can range anywhere from $50-$500, with costs at the low end of this spectrum being subsidized through public agencies. Neutering male dogs is cheaper, ranging anywhere from $35-$250. The high end of these costs accounts for dog owners who bring their pups to a veterinarian for this surgery. For strays, costs tend to be much higher because the process inc

Your email could help save street dogs! ~600 Million Dogs Alex Pacheco

On September 2nd, hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh, after the government began relocating stray dogs to a waste disposal site/landfill. The activists say that the dogs will starve to death there and that up to 30,000 dogs could be affected if this policy continues. It is already illegal to kill or relocate street dogs in Dhaka. Ideally, stray dogs should all be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and placed in permanent, loving homes. When that is n

Tell lawmakers: cats need their claws ~600 Million Dogs - Alex Pacheco

It's a troubling time right now due to coronavirus, but here's a great way for you to help animals while you're at home. N.J. State Senator Troy Singleton has introduced S920, a bill to ban the declawing of cats and other animals in New Jersey. With your help, this bill could become law! Cutting off the last bone of each toe, of all 10 fingers of the front paws of a cat, is known as declawing. It is usually done to prevent cats from scratching people and furniture, but it's n

Hunters tearing apart elephant families~Alex Pacheco 600 Million Dogs

Did you hear that the government of Botswana, a country in southern Africa, recently handed out licenses allowing cruel hunters to kill 70 wild elephants? The excuse for the slaughter of these majestic animals is human/wildlife conflict - hungry elephants trampling on farmers' fields. They're calling it "overpopulation," even though the conflicts are in just a few areas. There are only 130,000 elephants in Botswana, and that's 1/3 of the entire population of elephants in A

“Friends” and Lobsters

The lobster tank Ugh. I hate going in the mainstream grocery store I went to today, but there was one item that I needed for a family member, and it was 3 times more expensive online, so…I went. I hadn’t been to that store for years because they have a live lobster tank. You know the kind. Small. Cramped. Murky water. Lobsters piled on top of each other, with their claws rubber-banded together. It makes me sick. I’ve complained in the store. They looked at me as if I were fro

Dogs in Guam to be hunted as means of population control ~ 600 Million Dogs ~ Alex Pacheco

Public officials on the island of Guam in the Pacific want to allow local hunters to shoot to death, stray dogs ... the same way they allow the hunting of wild pigs during an annual derby. Making matters worse, helpless homeless dogs on the street are in danger of dying from diseases, or even from human cruelty. At a recent meeting, government officials discussed allowing hunters to shoot homeless dogs, as a means of population control -- because the number of stray dogs cont

"This Beautiful Soul"

An animal rescuer shared this story about her work in Puerto Rico: “This female pit bull had been left behind to die by an uncaring owner. Worse, the property managers at this beach resort were actively prohibiting visitors from feeding her. They were waiting for her to die. I cried for hours after seeing her; I felt so helpless. I will forever dedicate my volunteer work to this beautiful soul.” “Puerto Rico had a 99% kill rate at its shelters. I saw dogs of all sizes and bre

Artificial Wombs, Animal Birth Control, and 600 Million Dogs

Today on the radio, there was a story about the invention of an artificial womb that will hopefully allow premature babies to survive at a much higher rate than they do now. Instead of putting a premature baby into an incubator, they would basically put the baby into a plastic bag filled with liquid--not air--and pump in the nutrients, mimicking the womb. They said that would be better than incubators because at this stage of the baby’s development, air actually damages the l

Alex Pacheco calls on NYC Democratic Mayor de Blasio to stop drowning helpless rats

Officials in Brooklyn are drowning helpless rats in horrific devices ... rather than using humane methods of population control. Recently, Eric Adams (Brooklyn Borough President) announced the use of “Ekomilles” … cruel devices which slowly drown rats in a “soup” of alcohol. They are baited, then dumped through a trap door, left to struggle and die among the bodies of previous victims. Rats are social, affectionate, and intelligent. They do not deserve to die in such a cruel

Ever Since the Silver Spring Monkeys

In a Sep. 2, 2019 article called “How Animal Researchers Stay Out of the News,” Martha Rosenberg writes, “Ever since Alex Pacheco exposed treatment of the Silver Spring monkeys in 1981, animal researchers have been reduced to uttering ‘it’s not how it looks’ or ‘let us explain’ when unwanted images surface.” She notes that unlike factory farms, which have been infiltrated often enough so that videos and photos of the animal suffering are now easy to find, it’s still extremely
