Spay Day USA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spay Day USA is an annual observance on the last Tuesday of February that was created by the Doris Day Animal League in 1994 to bring attention to the pet overpopulation problem in the USA, and to encourage animal population control by neutering pets. In 2002, the event's goal was to spay and neuter 200,000 pets across the United States.[1][2] Spay Day USA has helped in decreasing the population of street dogs and cats throughout the US, which is very helpful as it decreases the number of unwanted animals. Many are encouraged to participate in this event.

The Spay-Neuter Assistance Program in Texas created "Neuter Scooter for a Nickel" in 1994 to coincide with Spay Day USA in recognition of the need to focus special attention on the overpopulation of cats.
