Best Friends co-founder and artist Cyrus Mejia learned that 5 million animals are put to death each year in US animal shelters. He calculated that this equaled about 575 animals per HOUR (thanks to Andrew at Good Honest Dollar for the catch!)
He helped organize the 575 Project in which artists honor the animals who have died. Each piece is a memorial to that nameless animal.
A book is now available.
Heartbreaking.
