Strays aren't a mystery. They're arithmetic.
Every stray on the street began as an unspayed kitten or puppy. Nothing changes until the math changes.
One unspayed pair of strays
Year 112 strays
Year 2~67 strays
Year 3~370 strays
Year 4~2,000 strays
Estimates assume typical survival rates for cats and dogs combined. The shape is what matters: it never slows down.
BND 1.50
feeds one stray for a day — rice, kibble and clean water.
BND 138
sterilizes one dog or two cats, including recovery.
Things people get wrong
Someone will adopt them all.
Adoption saves individuals; sterilization saves generations. There will never be enough homes to out-pace uncontrolled breeding.
Sterilization is cruel.
A single day-surgery prevents years of pregnancies, dying litters and roadside deaths. It's the kindest math there is.
Fun fact
An ear-tip (small cut on the tip of the ear) on a stray means they're already sterilized.

- Sterilized / fixed
