Spay Jamie Lynn Spears?

New Orleans - What does 16-year-old Louisiana native and Zoey 101 star Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy have to do with the critical need to spay and neuter dogs and cats? Once PETA's new "Sex Talk" commercial starts airing in New Orleans next week, Lynne Spears and other moms throughout the Bayou State won't be able to help but make the connection.

That's because the 30-second spot features parents who encourage their teenage daughter to become sexually active. When the horrified girl asks, "What if I get pregnant?" the parents urge her to "pop out all the kids you can" and say, "If it has a pulse, you should be wrapped around it!" The ad concludes, "Parents shouldn't act this way. Neither should people with dogs and cats. Always spay or neuter."

The ad will air twice each day during Good Morning America from Monday, January 14, to Friday, January 18, on Jamie Lynn's local ABC affiliate, WGNO.

Why is PETA pushing animal birth control? One unspayed female cat can create 420,000 cats in just seven years, and an unneutered male cat can father limitless litters of kittens. Unwanted dogs and cats who never make it to animal shelters are abandoned and left to fend for themselves on the streets, where they are often subjected to cruelty and suffer from starvation, diseases, or injuries.

"Just as Lynne Spears is under scrutiny because of her underage daughter's pregnancy, people who fail to spay and neuter their animals should also be feeling the heat," says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. "No one should be bringing more animals into the world when millions of deserving, wonderful dogs and cats are dying for good homes."
