There are about 3-4 million animaks euthanized each year by shelters.
There actually are about 4-6 million animals euthanized in shelters in America each year.
The above are just estimates. Shelters don't always keep accurate records, and no thorough surveys have been done. No one knows the real numbers.
"Euthanasia" means the killing of an animal that is suffering from an incurable and terminal disease. Although sometimes shelters use this word to describe the animals they kill when they're out of space, this is by definition incorrect. These animals aren't sick: they're just overpopulated. The right word is "killing," not "euthanasia." Breeders should think twice before bringing more pets into the world when so many suffer due to overpopulation.

The Humane Society of the United States estimates about 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized by shelters every year. The statistic is limited by the number of shelters that give such information. A disproportionate number of those 3-4 million are cats. Dividing 3-4 million by 365 (days in a year), and you get 8,200-11,000 dogs/cats per day. This is why people need to understand the importance of having their pets spayed or neutered.
