Related QuestionsWhy are there so many dogs and cats in shelters?
Houston Beagle and Hound Rescue, Inc.Sigh. Where should I start? First of all, and most importantly, the majority of pet-owners in the United States are not getting their animals spayed or neutered. So many organizations offer low-cost, and sometimes FREE spay/neuter services and people still do not do it. This results in many many unwanted litters of puppies/kittens.

I thought RMBs were supposed to be given whole...why are some people grinding them for their dogs?
