Animal Rescue in Quintana Roo and Yucatan Mexico, spayucatan.org
Xcalak/Mahahual article by Kelly Coladarci Mid January 2008 The
first spay & neuter campaign in Xcalak and Mahahual by
www.spayucatan.org Did you know that just one un-spayed female
dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in 6 years? The
cat figures are even more alarming. There are also potentially
serious consequences to public health and the environment when
overpopulation is present. It is a well documented fact that
sterilization is the only humane way to deal with dog and cat
overpopulation. That, along with vaccinations and de-worming
alleviates suffering, and provides better health for the animals
that do survive natural disasters. Hard hitting Hurricane Dean

2007, many people in the area are still struggling to put their
lives and towns back together. And the animals are no different.
Many of these animals do not have homes and are forced to endure
life on the streets.
