I don’t understand. If there are more pets than there are pet lovers, what should happen to the surplus? What makes this issue so confusing to everyone? What is Obama’s solution to the Pet Glut?
I don't know how they avoid it exactly, but in the UK they euthanize very few dogs compared to most other countries. They can be kept in shelters for a very long time, and a lot of effort is spent matching socializing the dogs and matching them with prospective owners. Again, I'm not sure, but I think this is done with private funds (RSPCA)
