Katherine Heigl Donates $1M for Pet Cause
Hollywood actress and pet lover Katherine Heigl announced a $1 million pledge for spay/neuter and supporting programs in the city and county of Los Angeles and neighboring communities. Accompanied by her mother, The Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan and Millan's Chihuahua, Coco, Heigl attended the conference under the mission to help raise awareness to initiate programs that will address the pet overpopulation crisis.The project is in association with the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, which was named after her brother who was killed in a car accident 24 years ago. Heigl hopes her efforts and those of the Compassion Revolution members will help cut down on the numbers of stray dogs put to death because shelters can no longer cope with them. Each year 500,000 animals without homes are sheltered and euthanized in California, costing the state $250 million. She said, "What's happening is not only inhumane and morally reprehensible, it's economically irresponsible. Killing is not a solution.
