Prevention of Pet Overpopulation

I studied abroad this summer through Purdue University, and it was a Global Leadership Program in Costa Rica. We all learned about the tico's culture, and how to be more sustainable. Now, everyone who went to Costa Rica has to step up and be leader, and try to impact the world in their own unique way. My major is wildlife, and my passion is animals, so I wanted my project to focus on helping animals, and pet overpopulation seemed like the perfect idea. It seemed like a good idea, because not much is being done about this problem, and not many people are very educated about it. This problem does not just affect homeless animals, but it affects the entire environment. It is a problem, that if not fixed, it could grow into something much worse than just an abundant amount of homeless animals, like disrupt the environments food chain. According to my home town veterinarian, Dr. Komorowski, he does not think people understand how many truck loads of dead animals are hauled out of animal shelters every month. That is why I a starting this petition, and doing everything in my power to make an impact on our world. If i do not try, then who will?
