Finally there may be an easier solution to the unwanted pet problem in South Africa (& the world). Billionaire Gary Michelson is a surgeon-turned-inventor who has devised a number of surgical instruments, operative methods and medical implants. He is offering 25 million USD to to anyone who can invent the first safe non-surgical method to spay or neuter pets.
Fanfreakingtastic!
Local institutions like the SPCA, FORA & Wet Nose would welcome this method, considering how many pet owners do not bother to neuter their animals, or do not have the funds to.
Apparently in America, 4 to 6 million animals are euthanised each year! I wonder what the local statistics are...
Let's hope that someone wins the grant & produces a methods that is safe and cheap! There are thousands upon thousands of unwanted pets in South Africa, thanks to irresponsible pet owners.
