International Homeless Animals' Day takes place on Saturday, August 21, 2010.
The event was started back in 1992 to call attention to the plight of homeless animals.
It focuses on the simple solution of spay & neuter and adoption practices to help reduce the current number of animals that land in shelters annually. (4.5 million animals).
There will be candlelight vigils held around the nation but click over if you want to participate in a virtual vigil.
Below is the video by ISAR the group that started the annual event.
This brings me to another interesting piece of information, a mandatory spay-neuter bill (SB250) has been made active again.
Voluntary spay-neuter projects are good but forced animal mandates tend to be a disservice and to make matters worse in many cases--read more over at the pet connection.
