You are so full of shit it's not even funny. Show me the "research" you are quoting.
Here's what I found on San Francisco
http://www.spayusa.org/main_director...eys/graphs.asp
San Francisco has fundamentally reversed the pattern that prevails at many animal shelters, where healthy adoptable dogs and cats are routinely killed to make room for incoming animals.
San Francisco's success is based on several key elements:
* High-volume spay/neuter surgery to reduce pet overpopulation and cut shelter intake. The SFSPCA spends between $1 million and $2 million a year to subsidize surgery at its spay/neuter clinic, with free surgery for San Francisco's feral cats and animals adopted from the SFSPCA, and public fees that are about 60 percent below the city average. The clinic performs approximately 7,000 surgeries a year and has altered more than 100,000 dogs and cats (including more than 12,000 feral cats) since it began keeping records in 1988.
Tell me, what do you think happens when a shelter is full and more animals arrive? Locally there are infinitely more animals than there are people to take them. Go volunteer at your local shelter for a week and see what I am talking about. We're right at the end of kitten season too. Now would be a great time to see a bunch of adoptable cats euthanized. Poor shelter management...what a joke.
