Government Has Removed Funding For Spay/Neuter Programs!!

They have also removed funding for zoos.

The inject them with chips here. The animals are getting sick. The chips are causing cancer.

Yup, too much money in the bailout program.

They just want people sterile, not animals.

Well look at the good side, think of all the food running around after the pandemic hits... Kitty Fried Rice? Kung-Pao Dog?

I didn't know the .gov ever funded it. Thought it was from private donations. Interesting.

A tip that might work for you....at least it does here, is that when you take the kittens in and they want the feline leukemia test and shots, tell them they're going to be barn cats and you don't want to put a lot of money into them, but just want to keep them from reproducing. Good luck!

I say we cut the funding for Washington. Sons-a-bitches

Maybe this will help you. Just put in your state.

TEAM and Testing: Why We Won’t Test

TEAM handles hundreds of calls each week for spay/neuter appointments, and it is startling to note how many people ask if we test for Feline Leukemia (FeLV). Unfortunately, these well-intentioned individuals have been led to believe by the veterinary and animal welfare communities that FeLV is as great a risk to cats and kittens as overpopulation is.

TEAM opposes routine FeLV testing of healthy cats and, for the sake of the innumerable cats that have been or will be killed unnecessarily because of a positive test result, here’s why.

The FeLV test was designed as a diagnostic tool for sick cats, not as a screening tool for healthy cats.

According to the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association in a Special Report, positive Feline Leukemia (ELISA) tests (the test most commonly used), obtained in a screening program “should be interpreted with caution because a high proportion, approximately 72 percent of such, are likely to be false positive results.”

FeLV blood tests are not always accurate. That is why there is more than one type of blood test on the market and why radiographs, microscopy, histopathology and biopsies are often necessary to confirm a diagnosis.

People who adopt cats and presently own cats are concerned about the spread of leukemia from one animal to another. However, according to the American Association of Feline Practitioners, cats over the age of 16 weeks are virtually immune to the disease. As a matter of fact, pharmaceutical companies must artificially compromise the immune system of cats used for research to test the efficacy of their FeLV vaccines (JAVMA, 11/15/91).

If this isn’t enough, the FeLV vaccine has been implicated as a cause of cancer in cats.

SPAY USA says that the Government used to give Grants to all of these organizations for at least part of the costs - most still exist but things just cost more!
