Sadly I think your number is way too low :0( Spaying / Neutering would also make a huge difference.
Thanks for the comments to all. I should have been more specific. I need a percentage or ball-park number for a school project. It is amazing how difficult it is to find this specific fact on the web!!
Each year many pets as gifts are left at shelters parents buy them for children that are to young to properly care for them or they become not fun or due to lazy pet parents the animal develop bad habits and cant be dealt with so they get dumped at shelters and when the shelters reach maxim capacity then euthanize then due to over crowding People think its cute to give or gift an animal and as a present but don't realize how long of a commitment and this is not just puppies and kitties bunnies and chicks at Easter and yes pets are cute but if you cant or don't want to or know that the person you want to gift a pet to will be willing deal with a pet for its full life then skip the real pet ans stick with stuffed
Are pets superb gift not products? I think, if we are looking gift for men is best variant to find something in men style, like googles, watches, decanters. I used one shop proposal to present gift for my college. You can find kemstood.com. Who else think that it is good choice?
A gift is not always wanted and some think they want the pet but it winds up being too much work or they do not know how to deal with them. These animals wind up on the street or in shelters which can very well lead to them being euthanized.
