Basically, the article says that from the beggining of next year, all PTS shelters will stop working in my province (Buenos Aires). To control the dog and cat population, the government with use alternative methods such as spaying and neutering.

I'm SO glad about this. Unfortunately, most of the times the government tries to do something good, it ends up in nothing. Hopefully, they are planning to develope really effective spaying and neutering campaigns. If not, then it will mean that the government will do nothing for homeless dogs. There lots of small humane societes, but most of them have really low financial resourses, so they can't do much.

I really hope the result of all this is not more and more dogs and cats in the streets. But still... it is great to think about all the dogs and cats who will be saved from being put to sleep.
