FACTS
*Only 13% of registered voters in Houston actually voted in the local elections last year. If all 2.2 million Houstonians were registered to vote, that means only 286,000 people voted in Houston.
*65% of Americans have pets. That equals roughly 1,430,000 Houstonians who have pets.
*Compare less than 286,000 Houston voters to 1,430,000 animal loving Houstonians.
As you can see it would be very easy for animal lovers to swing an election in favor of shelter pets if we join together and vote for the candidates who represent our values, and who are committed to ending the senseless killing of shelter pets.
