FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY TRAINING

Euthanasia Data for New Mexico

In 1994 Animal Protection of New Mexico compiled euthanasia data for New Mexico. The number of animals euthanized and recorded is astounding and clearly indicates the need for aggressive, state-wide spay and neuter programs. Please note, not all areas of the state have shelters, animal control or humane societies, and not all areas record this data. These figures do not include animals who are killed, either accidentally or purposefully, outside of the shelter or pound environment.
