Animal Friendly License Plates
If you are living in the United States, one of the many ways to help reduce the pet overpopulation problem is to show your support through animal friendly license plates. Many states are trying to reduce pet overpopulation though the sale of animal friendly license plates. You pay a little extra to purchase an animal friendly license plate. The extra money usually goes to spay and neuter funds in the state.

Besides the money going to spay and neuter funds, other benefit of these plates is to educate the public about the pet overpopulation problem. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the national average of driving time each day is 24.3 minutes and Americans spend more than 100 hours a year for commuting to work. That is a lot of time you can help educate the public! Everywhere you go in your car or even just being parked in your drive way, you can show your support to the public and help people become aware of the problem and the importance of helping animals.
Animal friendly license plates are available in most states. Call your state’s Motor Vehicle Division or visit their website for more information. If your state does not offer animal friendly license plates, write a letter or start a petition to your state legislators asking for support of an animal friendly license plate program. Also encourage your family members and friends to purchase animal friendly license plates!
