Every year, thousands of unwanted animals are destroyed. The figure of 21,357 dogs put to sleep in 2002 does not include other animals, such as horses, who had to be destroyed because they were so neglected. This figure also does not take into account the countless healthy puppies and kittens who were poisoned, drowned or killed by other cruel means, simply because they were considered a "nuisance" by their owners.
