Pierce Brosnan Artwork Helps Free, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Programs
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 10th, 2010 in Actors, Animal Issues, Artists.
Actor Pierce Brosnan has lent his artwork to a program designed to control the unwanted pet population in California.
The California Spay and Neuter License Plate Fund and the California Veterinary Medical Board has created a license plate designed to raise funds for spay and neuter programs in the state that feature original designs by the actor.
The plates can be pre-ordered online for $50 or $98, depending on if you want a serial number or personalized plate.
Unfortunately, you may have to wait awhile before you’re driving around Fur-arri style. The website for the program says it must wait until 7,500 pre-orders are received before the official program can start, and after that, it may still take up to one year based on the rate the orders are received and the rate at which the DMV implements the program.
Let’s hope the DMV line for implementing charity plates goes quicker than the one for getting a photo taken for a new I.D.
“The Spay and Neuter License Plate Program is unprecedented in California and a brilliant initiative,” said Stephanie Ferguson, DVM, vice president of the California Veterinary Medical Board. “The proceeds from this program will tremendously benefit animal shelters and help curtail the number of homeless animals throughout the state. We’re also extremely fortunate to have the generosity and crucial support of Pierce Brosnan and other well-known celebrities,” she added.
According to the California Department of Public Health, number of dogs and cats euthanized rose from 2004-2008, from 378,445 to 432,512 respectively.
