Mission Statement
The Mission of 600 Million Stray Dogs Need You is to bring an end to the number-two cause of animal suffering in the world -- animal overpopulation -- and to provide the world with an effective, safe, affordable, and non-violent method of controlling animal populations. Our approach is to use the latest scientific advancements and inspire people to volunteer their resources to assist in developing unique, long-lasting, single-dose sterilization pills for animals -- beginning with dogs and expanding to cats and other animals in need, such as horses and farm animals.
Our goals are the following: 1) To free virtually every humane society world-wide of their most expensive problem -- animal overpopulation -- and end the violent killing of over one billion animals each year; 2) To prevent the deaths of the 55,000 people who die every year from being bitten by overpopulated stray dogs; 3) To provide developing nations and low-income individuals with a practical and affordable alternative to costly surgical animal sterilization; 4) To enable agencies to reduce their use of inferior animal overpopulation control methods, the most common being poison, which has many negative effects such as the unintentional killing of non-targeted animals, as well as people.
