Answer 2

I found this information from the site below.

"Statistics
-Every day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born in this country while only 10,000 people are born. It's simple math - there just aren’t enough homes for all of these animals.
-Every year over 6 million animals are euthanized in shelters for lack of available homes. If the number were "only" 7 million, that would mean 135,000 PER WEEK, or 20,000 pets euthanized EVERY 24 HOURS. 365 DAYS A YEAR!
-An animal is euthanized in the U.S. every 2 seconds.
-On average, 64% of all animals taken into shelters nationwide have to be euthanized for this reason.
-The animals at animal control shelters are not "problem" animals. The animals available for adoption have been picked up as strays or taken from the owner for abuse, or neglect. They are truly in need of a loving home and are greatly appreciative for a second chance at life.
-At least 50% of the overpopulation problem is non-neutered males. Females can't do it alone.
-Purebreds account for 30% off all the animals in shelters. "Papers" don't mean an animal should be bred.
-For every home you find for an animal that you have bred, a home is lost for a shelter animal.
-Breeding to "see the miracle of birth" demands that you also "see the tragic results". Visit a shelter and watch a puppy being euthanized for every puppy your "miracle of birth" delivered.
-Animal overpopulation has reached a crisis point in this country.
-40,000 animals were euthanized in the year 2000 in Arkansas alone."

Also found this on same page too.
"Every year over 20 million animals end up in a shelter. Over 15 million of them are killed (euthanized is the nice term). Of those animals 61% of the dogs and 75% of the cats are killed. Very few of these are claimed and there are many more that die from disease, starvation, animal attacks and cars! Anyone who sees these facts must agree that not neutering an animal is contributing to mass cruelty and irresponsibility!"

Answer 3

Well, in Michigan about 240,000 animals are taken to animal control facilities each year and about 132000 are euthanized.
So that works out to roughly 362 animals a day state wide. And that is only the reported data, I'm sure there are thousands more.
This does not include any stray animals taken to veterinarians to be euthanized if the pet is critical condition.
It is very sad, and why animal lovers push so hard for spay/neuter.
