Neuter or Spay postage stamps

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

Later this month the USPS will be issuing 37cents stamps that say " Neuter or

Spay " on them, with a photo of a kitten & puppy. Very cute baby animals..

also featured on a poster in my Post Office. I wonder what the process was

to get this selected as a stamp. Wouldn't it be great to get one promoting

animal rights or vegetarianism!

 

So, just FYI for folks that use a lot of stamps and want one with a message

:-)

Hi Tammy and friends,

 

 

 

More information on the Spay/Neuter stamps:

 

 

 

The Spay/Neuter stamp was a project of PalC (Prevent a litter Coalition), who

launched the STAMP OUT! Program. Lending support were Spay USA, HSUS, Pets 911,

Doris Day Animal League, Doris Day Animal Foundation, and the ASPCA.

 

 

 

Samantha the kitten and Kirby the puppy have truly representative stories of why

we need to increase awareness on the problem of pet overpopulation. For more

detail on Samantha and Kirby:

When photographed, Kirby and Samantha were both homeless shelter pets. Kirby and

Samantha are a tangible face of the plight of the millions of unwanted and

homeless pets, many of which would make wonderful companions if only given the

chance, and of spay/neuter as a preventative part of the solution.

 

The animals on the stamps alongside the spay/neuter message will also help to

educate the public to alter their pets before first heat and early spay/neuter

surgery.

 

By the way, both animals were adopted by loving families - respectively neutered

and spayed of course, and they are now leading happy and healthy lives!
