With this Project 600 free sterilizations of dogs and cats will be carried out in San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. Street dogs and cats will benefit from this. Also dogs and cats from poor families. All to avoid overpopulation and promote animal welfare.
In San Cristobal de Las Casas there are around 5 to 10 thousand dogs and cats living on the streets, a high percentage of them have a home; nevertheless, they reproduce without control due to the lack of responsibility and economic resources of the owners, or because of government negligence that does not take actions to end this problem. The most unfortunate thing is the suffering and indifference that these animals endure day by day.
Specialist data, with K. Bogel, mentions that one couple of dogs and their descendants can generate 67,000 puppies in 6 years. The same number of cats can be born in the same period of time. Therefore, the sterilization of 600 canine and feline animals significantly reduces the birth rate and overpopulation, which in turn prevents the suffering of animals, the proliferation of diseases and environmental pollution.
In five years, ANIMALIX AC has carried out 4 free spay and neuter campaigns with the support of the Calle Cero Foundation. In total, 1354 dogs and cats have been operated. Therefore, we help reduce the birth rate of animals on the street (thousands have not been born) and contribute to their well-being.
