Can you really find homes for all of us… and our children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren?

18. Why sterilise?
:: so that unwanted baby animals need not be born to suffer
:: an unwanted animal living as a stray risk being culled or abused
:: your pet will be calmer and more affectionate
:: reduces the risks of cancer of the reproductive organs
:: makes your home cleaner because your pet won’t mark the
house all over with its urine

20. Why microchip?
… animals don’t have wallets to keep their ICs!

… your pet belongs to you, and no one else can claim otherwise
… you know there’s still hope if he’s lost!
