I have a question. When I talked to the Illinois shelter manager earlier this week and we discussed how it is part of her job to both trap "nuisance" cats and euthanize them, she said that she gives a sedative first. This is what happens when we have our pets euthanized, and makes the procedure more endurable for the pet, the vet and ourselves. Do most shelters, or only some shelters, go straight to the final injection? I assume this is to save money?

I've wished for a few decades now that I could come into a large enough sum of money that I could put together a travelling spay & neuter station, all operations free, and a money reward for those who neuter their pet. I think that only by making the process not only free and without any hassle, but also rewarded, will you get the majority of people to spay and neuter.
