Spay/Neuter as an effective way to control animal population

One effective way to both deal with animal overpopulation and controlling the animal population is spaying and neutering.

Cat colonies with spayed/neutered cats will not increase in population. Colony members will even protect their territories from other cats.

In the Philippines, animal welfare organizations are driving the spaying/neutering of stray animals through Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs, especially during October, considered World Animal Month; and the 28th of February, considered World Spay Day.

There is also a number of low-cost spay/neuter clinics located in different areas of the country.
