Fewer puppies

Regarding “To the Rescue,” June 15, about the puppy airlift from the Turks and Caicos: Let’s look at the math. Save one puppy? Or spay and neuter their parents, so they can’t produce another litter, which then multiplies exponentially, because they aren’t spayed or neutered? Which is cheaper? Which saves more puppies from being killed? If the Turks and Caicos really want to be a no-kill community, the people need to focus on spay and neuter programs.
