Description

In this episode of The Bark, we dig into the messy truth behind animal overpopulation—and how problems that seem unrelated are often deeply connected. At the center of it all? Irresponsible breeding practices, lack of access to spay and neuter services, and a system that looks the other way.


We expose how backyard breeding, accidental litters, and failure to fix pets fuel a statewide crisis impacting shelters, neighborhoods, and taxpayers alike. From rural counties to city streets, Tennessee is feeling the pressure—and it’s time we talk about why.


Whether you're already in the fight or just starting to pay attention, this episode will connect the dots and show why it matters. Because the truth is: overpopulation isn’t just an animal problem—it’s a people problem.
