Only sterilization can prevent and stop an uncontrolled population and a steady increase in the number of homeless animals and, consequently, overcrowding. After all, Ukrainian zoo volunteers have already faced this problem due to the increase in the number of lost animals that lost their homes or owners due to the war or were evacuated to safer regions.
