Louisiana veterinary clinic devises clever strategy to control pet population

NEW IBERIA, La. (KPEL News) – If you grew up in south Louisiana, you probably remember being at Momo's when you had to stay home for school or the summer. Before “The Story” began, she would have been watching The Price is Right and heard Bob Barker sign off after the showcase showdown.

As a reminder, Bob Barker, please help us reduce the number of pets. Please have your pet spayed or neutered. See you guys!

I don't know if hearing Bob issue a reminder had anything to do with my love for animals, but I appreciate his efforts.

We see too many animals being abandoned or worse because people don't take their animal care responsibilities seriously. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you how serious the problem is, but most will do everything they can to facilitate the right course of action. A South Louisiana veterinary clinic is doing just that, promoting its efforts in a way that gets Cajun attention. They call it a festival!

All Creatures Veterinary Hospital in New Iberia has announced the Testicle Festival, a celebration of spaying and neutering. From April 22nd to April 26th, veterinarians will be offering discounted neutering services for male cats and dogs.

They've been sharing the good news on social media (see below), and the comments are, as you might imagine, hilarious. Based on the comments above, the Testicle Festival is a first for the south Louisiana clinic, and if it is a success, they will decide whether to hold a similar “celebration” for their female furry friends. is.

The information provided on social media flyers is fairly comprehensive, so pet owners know what to expect and how to participate.

One commenter on the veterinarian's page said:

I'm sure the patients don't think of it as a festival!

But knowing you don't have to worry about accidentally becoming a pet grandparent will make you a happier person.
