Unfortunately, the most common number is 4-6 million animals a year are euthanized in shelters a year, though other sources will tell you anywhere from 1-2 million, all the way to 12-25 million. This is just the number put down in shelters and doesn't include the millions that die of neglect, car accidents, etc. Quite depressing, isn't it?

Too many.

Millions of dogs are killed every year in shelters, many of them pit bull type dogs. Encourage people you know to adopt a pit bull from a shelter instead of purchasing a puppy. You'll save a life.
