Another incident of a batch of young animals being abandoned has once again led to a call for pet owners to spay or neuter their animals.
Some people will claim that the cost of having this procedure done is what stops them from doing it, but Parkland Humane Society officer manager Jenn Langlois says there are resources out there to help you.
""The city of Dauphin has a certified spay and neuter assistance program, called SNAP. So you can apply to the city for that. And the R-M of Dauphin also has a program, which you can apply for if you ive in the R-M. And then we have our own low-income spay and neuter program."
Langlois says failing to have animals spayed or neutered often leads to larger numbers of cats or dogs being turned over to shelters, which restricts their ability to take in other animals.
