More U.S. animal shelter data by city, county, state, and region

 

The printed edition of the table "U.S. animal shelter data broken down by city, county, state, and region" published on page 19 of the July/August 2007 edition of ANIMAL PEOPLE inadvertently omitted the portions covering the interior western states, the state of Delaware, and Huntington Beach, California, and omitted a decimal place in stating the rate of shelter killing per 1,000 humans residents of Santa Cruz, California. The missing data, below, was taken into account in producing the ANIMAL PEOPLE estimate that a low for the past half century of 3.7 million animals were killed in U.S. shelters in 2006, and was included in the electronic edition of ANIMAL PEOPLE.
