Every year, local pet charities spend a significant portion of their fundraising to pay for Spay and Neuter for the animals in their care. These costs are not rolled into the final adoption cost either as this would preclude the animals from being affordable for adoption in many cases. The City of Saskatoon does not contribute to this effort even though this is a civic service as I see things. I would propose that we change that and that in an annual manner, we contribute something meaningful to this purpose so that more of the fundraising for these charities can actually go to the care of the animals. We have a landslide of unwanted puppies and kittens each year in our city. Doing what we reasonably can as a good civic government will help us slow down that flow and it will help ensure the best quality of care for the animals in our city and the most sustainable financial support for the charities who give their lives to that kindness every day.
