90 % of homeless animals’ posterity dies at an early age because the parents are weak and sick as well as due to infections and poor living conditions. Only less than 10% of posterity survives. Therefore, the neutering of homeless animals only duplicates “natural” loss of posterity.

90 % of pet animals’ posterity survives because the parents are healthy and posterity grows in good conditions, only less than 10% of posterity dies. There are no macro mechanisms in Russia restricting birthrate of pet animals.
