You know what we love? Removing the reproductive organs of animals for their own good. Which is why we love World Spay Day, which takes place on the fourth Tuesday in February — February 24 this year!
It might sound harsh, but the truth is, failing to spay and neuter dogs and cats is responsible for millions of unwanted animals living on the streets without homes or food or being killed in shelters all over the world. So while it might make you twinge to think of a day celebrating animal sterilization, the truth is, the pain of putting all those animals down is far harsher.

Even animal rights organizations like PETA are pro animal sterilization, and have set up a hotline to help you find your nearest low-cost spay and neuter clinic.
Celebrate your pets’ neutering.
Getting your pet neutered or spayed means there’ll be no more aggression or urine marking. There’ll be less roaming, fighting, and moodiness. In exchange, your companions will also likely become more interested in you, instead of finding a mate. And they’ll still protect you and your family. It’s a party!
Tell your stupid friends about it.
If you have friends who talk about wanting to leave their pets “intact”, tell them they’re just stupid, okay? And take some of our key facts about spaying and neutering, to show them why.
