    Most shelters don't reveal the statistic due to public backlash. Most people would blame the shelter for euthanise perfectly healthy animals, and not understand the reasoon to give the chance to another lot of animal in desperate need of a home.

    You could enquire by ringing the individual shelters throughout australia saying you need the euthaniser figure for a school project
    .Here the only statistic available that i could find
    RSPCA 2008-2009 statistic
    Dogs
    Reclaimed 22,896
    Rehomed 19,236
    In stock 2,681

    Other 632
    Total dogs 69,383

    Cats
    Reclaimed 2,447
    Rehomed 19,666
    In stock 2,484
    Transfered 1,480
    Euthanised 39,495
    Other 633
    Total cats; 66,205

    Other animals

    In Australia, about 200,000 dogs are "euthanized" EACH year.

    Just don't read the site though lol scroll down it'll say that in red letters. The story before hand will make you cry lol

    Either that or I'm just overly emotional tonight
