November 7, 2003 -- Celebrity animal lovers will help the city launch an ambitious new campaign today to end the mass killing of unwanted dogs and cats in its shelters.

Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters will appear on this morning's "Today" show to promote the campaign, and then join city leaders for the official kickoff in Central Park.

Almost 50,000 animals pour into city shelters every year, many of them strays. Not enough people adopt,so the city kills more than three-quarters of them.

To stop the killing, the city has applied for a $15 million grant from billionaire Dave Duffield, founder of PeopleSoft. The money would underwrite spaying and neutering, and promote adoptions.Heidi Singer
