National Desexing Month 2007

The National Desexing Network (NDN) is hosting its third National Desexing Month in August with the slogan “Is your pet a sex offender?" Our aim is that this recurring annual event will see many cats and dogs desexed thereby getting closer to our goal of ending pet overpopulation in Australia.

NDN will again invite all animal welfare groups and shelters, vets and councils to join in and promote desexing during August. All council pounds will receive our posters (see example at the bottom of this page) for display as well. NDN also hopes to attract the general public’s attention and participation through an extensive media campaign.

In addition, NDN has developed an outstanding community service announcement to highlight the problem of pet overpopulation. You can have a look by clicking on the icon on the left side of this page under NDN Commercial. This tool is available to anyone who wants to use it to promote desexing. Anyone with access to free advertising on TV stations, please contact us so that we can get this announcement on TV.
