Dr. Jeffrey Young established Planned Pethood Plus in 1990 to provide low-cost mobile neutering services. He has sterilized over 165,000 animals and advocates for early-age neutering to reduce companion animal overpopulation. Dr. Young founded Planned Pethood International to fund spay/neuter programs and veterinary training worldwide using state-of-the-art veterinary hospitals in Slovakia and Mexico. His goal is to significantly reduce companion animal overpopulation globally through education, legislation, and sterilization programs.
The McKee Project, founded by Christine Crawford in Costa Rica, has developed an innovative spay/neuter technique that is highly efficient, affordable, and reduces trauma for animals. Their method involves a very small incision, faster surgery time, and less invasive procedures. This has allowed them to train over 500 vets across Latin America. Through education programs, the McKee Project has helped shift cultures from seeing animals as disposable to valued members of communities. Their model has significantly reduced overpopulation and improved animal welfare.

Use of goats in poverty alleviation and potential effects on the environmentcopppldsecretariat
Goats are a powerful tool in assistance to alleviate poverty and they are also a powerful tool to utilize scarce vegetation in areas not suitable for other forms of agricultural production. If goats are kept in a wrong place and not managed well they may, however, destroy the environment.
According to this paper, financed by DanChurchAid, the solution to the dilemma between the very efficient and useful goats for the poor people and the potential very destructive goats for the environment is found in intelligent management of the goats and not in preventing poor people to keep goats. Education and training of the goats keepers combined with punishment for possible bad management may be a practical solution.

Dr. Jeffrey Young has sterilized over 165,000 animals through his non-profit organizations. He advocates for prepubertal neutering between 4-16 weeks as the ideal age to sterilize adopted animals. Prepubertal neutering has many advantages including ensuring the animal cannot reproduce, reduced surgical time and costs, and enhanced behavioral and medical benefits compared to neutering at a later age. While some concerns have been raised about potential negative effects, guidelines exist for successful prepubertal sterilization with very low complication rates.
The document discusses a community action project to address the problem of pet overpopulation through low-cost spay and neuter programs. It describes the student identifying pet overpopulation as a problem, researching the issue through various means, determining the need for low-cost options, identifying solutions such as education and organizing a mobile spay/neuter clinic, completing the action of organizing and fundraising for the clinic, evaluating the successful clinic that served 26 cats, and setting a long-term goal of annual clinics in the community.
This document summarizes Temple Grandin's book "Improving Animal Welfare: A Practical Approach". The book aims to provide practical information to help implement effective programs that improve farm animal welfare. It discusses using measurements to enhance welfare and productivity.

ANIMAL WELFARE
Animal welfare means how an animal is coping with the conditions in which it lives.
An animal is in a satisfactory state of wellbeing when it is healthy, comfortable, well nourished, safe, able to express its innate behaviour, and if it is not suffering from unpleasant states such as pain, fear and distress.(OIE)
The welfare of an individual is its state as regards its attempts to cope with its environment.An animal in good state of welfare is: -
healthy, well nourished
Comfortable, safe
Not suffering from unpleasant state such as pain, fear, and distress
Able to express natural behavior
Good AW requires disease prevention and veterinary treatment, appropriate shelter, management, nutrition, humane handling and humane slaughter and killing.

The document discusses laboratory animals and their use in biomedical research. It states that rodents like mice and rats are most commonly used as they are inexpensive and easy to care for. Ideal laboratory animals must be bred and housed in rigorously controlled environments. Proper housing, management, sanitation and environmental conditions are required to ensure animal welfare and quality research data. Common laboratory animals include mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. Rodent breeding procedures aim to provide offspring for research according to investigators' protocols.

This document outlines Kate Nattrass Atema's "Humane Community Development" approach to dog population management. The approach focuses on building understanding, relationships, and commitment within communities to develop sustainable solutions. It involves community assessments, stakeholder workshops to share perspectives and identify root causes of issues, and action planning workshops where communities prioritize problems and solutions. The approach was piloted in several locations, where it led communities to take ownership and develop original, creative plans focusing on animal welfare. Challenges included maintaining momentum, but benefits included less blaming and different viewpoints not blocking solutions. The approach requires patience and recognizes that sustainability involves relationship-building skills rather than specific dog-related interventions.
Dogs Trust, with the help of Animal Rights Protection Lithuania, has undertaken two investigations looking at the illegal import of puppies across the EU. Despite conclusive evidence from the 1st investigation being presented to the EU and national government along with a series of urgent recommendations set out by Dogs Trust to help curb the trade, the puppy trafficking trade has continued unabated. In early 2015, Dogs Trust went back into Eastern Europe to highlight that the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is still being used as a cover by commercial breeders and dealers in Lithuania and Romania on a regular basis to illegally import puppies, often in horrendous conditions, and transporting them thousands of miles without their mothers.

This document discusses building a healthy "bank account" for animals through positive experiences and interactions. It describes how genetics, early experiences, and past treatment form an animal's "opening balance", and how current caregivers can make "deposits" through gentle handling, praise, play, and ensuring physical and emotional well-being, or "withdrawals" through negative experiences like rough handling or stress. It stresses making regular small deposits to improve an animal's confidence and temperament over time through consistency, patience and trust-building.

This document discusses how a dog's behavior is driven by underlying emotions like fear, pleasure, and frustration. It explains that to change problem behaviors, one needs to change the emotion driving it by replacing negative emotions with more positive ones through training. The document advocates for using positive reinforcement to increase behaviors by providing pleasure, rather than positive punishment which increases fear and can make behaviors worse. It concludes that dogs will repeat behaviors that bring them pleasure or relief from negative stimuli through training.

1. Solution to the crisis
Dr Jeffrey Young graduated from Colorado State University School of Veterinary
Medicine in 1989. He established Planned Pethood Plus, Inc (PPP) in 1990. PPP is
best know for its low-cost mobile neutering services, Native American Reservation
work, and training of veterinarians from around the world in more efficient surgical
techniques. Dr. Young has served on numerous Human Society boards and has
been an advisor from mobile surgical units all across America. He has founded his
own non-profit group called Planned Pethood International. Planned Pethood
International was established to help fund spay/neuter work and veterinary training
from its new state of the art veterinary hospitals in Bratislava, Slovakia and
Merida, Mexico. Dr. Young believes his human ethics come from being an Animal
Control Officer during his veterinary college training. He is most proud of having
personally sterilized over 165,000 animals in the last 20 years, and he is an
outspoken proponent of early age neutering for companion animals population
control. Dr. Young is driven by a simple underlying mission “to significantly reduce
companion animal overpopulation through out the world.”
“Think Globally Act Locally “

year.
Dogs are 15 X and Cats 45 X more prolific than Humans.

87 + % of cats and 76 + % of dogs in households today have been neutered, but
about 20 % produce at least one litter prior to being sterilized.
Number “1”cause of Death for companion animals remains Euthanasia.
Cause of death for feral/stray animals is far worse!
HBC, disease, poisoning, predation and starvation.

Warehousing of companion animals doesn’t
reduce over population and is not usually in the
long term interest of the individual animal.
