Why is there more of a pet over population problem in the South than there is in the North?
It is hard to answer this with certainty, of course. A possible reason is that in many Southern states spay and neuter laws are inconsistent and the ones that do exist are a challenge to enforce because areas are more rural and vast. In some cases, like Putnam County in Tennessee, where Kyle lives there aren’t any spay and neuter laws to enforce. Conversely, many states in the North have more comprehensive spay and neuter laws and have more resources to enforce them and to educate people. It is also easier to spot a stray dog in an urban setting vs. a large rural area, which means fewer strays roaming around and able to reproduce.
