The facts are startling- approximately 3 to 4 million companion animals are euthanized each year throughout the United States with a dramatically disproportionate number of these occurring in the South. That boils down to over 9,000 animals every day, 399 every hour and over six animals per minute. That’s too many. But what is the solution? The filmmakers interviewed advocates like Pam Grier, Prince Lorenzo Borghese and Karen Talbot of Animal Aid USA, Scotlund Haisley of Animal Rescue Corps, leaders from Young Williams Animal Center, the University of Tennessee College of Veterinarian Medicine, the ASPCA, The Humane Society of the United States, and many others to hear from the frontline of this battle. The primary question A Southern Fix addresses is, How can we stop this slaughtering of millions of animals? This film is a 5,000 mile journey to find the answer.
