Dr. Jeffrey Young graduated from veterinary school in 1989 and established Planned Pethood Plus, Inc. in 1990 to provide low-cost mobile neutering services. He has since neutered over 165,000 animals and founded Planned Pethood International to fund spay/neuter programs worldwide. Dr. Young believes spay/neuter programs are the most effective and humane way to reduce companion animal overpopulation compared to traditional methods like killing surplus animals. He continues to advocate for early-age neutering and affordable access to spay/neuter services globally.

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.

ICAWC 2014 - Street Dog Population Control - Jeff Young
1. 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 known 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 25 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 “
DYNAMICS OF STREET DOG
POPULATION CONTROL
2. KILLING SURPLUS DOGS AND
CATS HAS BEEN AND IS THE
“GOLD STANDARD”
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
2004 Frank, J. Humane Ecology: Companion animals overpopulation is a
problem of human creation with significant human cost that can only be
addressed through human action.
3. What Is A Street Dog?
• Owned/Lost/Stray/Abandoned.
• Neighborhood/Community Dogs/Born on the
Streets/Free Roaming/Truly Feral.
• Street Dogs are the Byproduct of
Irresponsible Human Actions.
• No-kill Shelters are Almost Always Over
Capacity and Kill Shelters Don’t Care About
Source of the Animals.
5. Time For Paradigm Shift
• Low cost/free sterilization programs and
educational programs promoting pet sterilization
and responsible ownership have been found to
be the most effective and least costly method in
addressing overpopulation.
• Low cost/free sterilization programs have been
shown to have no negative impact on
unsubsidized programs and in fact usually
resulted in an increase in sterilization and overall
business by local veterinarian.
6. Failure Of The “Gold Standard”
• Humane/Moral Issues.
• Carrying Capacity of the Environment.
• Costly and Perpetual.
• Impossible to Kill Them All and Often
Kill the Wrong Dogs.
• Over Crowded, Often Under Funded
Animal Agencies.
COSMETIC AT BEST
7. Leaving the Gold Standard
Behind
• Cooperation a Must,
• Local Contacts, “Regional Captains”.
• Media, “Any Kind”.
• Strategic Planning, “Limited Resources”.
• Education Component, “Children Important”.
• Emphasis on Public Health and Humane Alternatives.
• Must Keep Stats, “Have Measurement of Success”.
Don’t confuse me with facts

PRESENTATION
• Bucharest, Romania in 3 years 100,000 free roaming dogs killed
at a cost of 5 million Euros. At the end of the 3 years still
100,000 dogs in the streets.
• Sofia, Bulgaria had about 6,000 street dogs after 7 years of
stringent killing only got a 30% reduction.
• City of 200,000 people and 8,000 street dogs, by killing 25% of
the street dog population each year for 10 years the cost is
1,800,000 Euros, achieving no long term reduction (6,000).
• Total cost for TNR over same period would be 995,000 Euros.
9. • M.K. Sudarshan’s survey 2007. Post-exposure
treatment for humans bitten in India is about
25 million for 500,000 people. 25 million could
vaccinate 12 million dogs.
• 12 divided by 20 = 60% of street dog
population.
• 55,000 People Die Yearly from Rabies. About 4
million people are treated annually.
10. • Dundee, England 1980’s – First 10 years
A.C. caught and killed strays with no
real difference in number of strays.
• In 1989, started subsidizing spaying
scheme and by 1999 strays dropped by
60% and euthanasia's dropped by 90%.
• Carding in 1969 reported RSPCA was
receiving over 300,000 strays a year.
11. • Tenzinetal 2012- Economic impact of rabies
in Buthan showed average medical cost was
$35.65 for entire post exposure regimen.
• The average cost of dog sterilization was
$6.36 and rabies vaccine $1.66.
• Combined human post exposure treatment
and dog vaccination/sterilization would be
$73 million for 6 years.
• While human treatment alone would be $77
million for 6 years.
12. • Cleveland 2001 - A dog rabies vaccination campaign in rural
Africa: impact on the incidence of dog rabies.
• The results of rabies vaccination campaign and a co- occurring
survey of dog bites in the Mara Region, Tanzania is reported.
• Four separate campaigns were performed approximately 1 year
apart. Initial rabies vaccination of dogs was 9.1% and after the
vaccination campaign, rabies vaccination coverage increased to
67.8%.
• Incidence of canine rabies dropped by 70% after the first and
97% after the second campaign in one district.
• The incidence of dog bites decreased by 28.8 bites/ 100,000
people to 6.02 /100,000 people.
• In a neighboring district that did not receive any vaccination,
dog rabies did not change.
13. • Hattieburg, Mississippi USA. From
2007 to 2010 shelter intake was 9000
animal per Year.
• They opened a subsidized Low-Cost
clinic in 2011. Intake dropped to 6477
and in 2012 had dropped to 4901.

• In America we spend about 1 billion
dollar/per year to pick up, house and
euthanize homeless animals.
• Using 5% of that money we could open
up 250 low cost spay/neuter facilities
and sterilize more than 4 million

• Definition of Companion Animal Ownership.
• Requirements for Healthcare and Husbandry.
• Breeding/Selling of Companion Animals Regulations.

• Animal Control Ordinances/Laws.
19. WHO, 1990- Pick Your Poison
• After an initial exponential growth in a dog
population, the birth rate begins to decrease and the
rate of death increases reaching equilibrium.
• Depending on the capacity of the environment to
keep this balance. “Carrying Capacity of the
Environment”.
• The carrying capacity of the environment varies with
habitat and depends on the availability, distribution,
and quality of the resources. “shelter, food, water”.
• The density of the populations of dogs is almost
always near the carrying capacity of the environment.
