Viewing tonight.
Unfortunately, our interview with Dr. Mizrahi at Cape Fear Spay and Neuter Clinic fell through at the last minute yesterday, and as we could not find anyone to fill her place this morning, we wont have too much to show today except some B-roll footage that we collected today. BUT-- we do have some exciting interviews set up for this week and this weekend. There is a spay-a-thon at the New Hanover Co. animal shelter, and we have gotten permission to film some surgeries then, as well as we hope to reschedule with Dr. Mizrahi, as she is running the only program in the county that offers specifically low cost options to people who need to sterilize their pets. We went by to see if we could catch her before they opened, and was unexpectedly greeted by a huge line of people waiting for the doors to open. they were all there with either vouchers from the rescue group/shelter that they adopted from, or were there for low-cost sterilizations. We talked to a really nice girl who had had her dog for 18 months, but had just now decided to spay her because she didnt want to have her go into heat again... another guy had a male cat that he was getting fixed because he didnt want him spraying the house anymore... ANOTHER reason to S/N... it seems really selfish to say that they wanted to get it done to convience the owners, but as long as the pet gets to experience the benefits of reduced cancer rates, and healthier lives (as well as the obvious non-reproductive benefits) I guess it's whatever works.
