I think a partial solution is to limit breeding and selling for profit, aka puppy/kitten mills. There are plenty of cats and dogs out there and we don't need people breeding them for profit in deplorable conditions, making more so that they can end up in shelters where they will be killed. Obviously law can only go so far, but only the really big factory farms would need to be targeted. Removing the profit incentives from such operations would effectively shut them down. Also, it'd help to end discrimination, for lack of a better word, against many dog types like pitbulls, etc. in apartment leases and such. Many animals are given to shelters when their owner moves and is no longer allowed to keep the animal and many are not adopted because of such conditions in the lease. Either an apartment allows dogs or not. Finally, there are a lot of people who would be more than glad to feed stray cats and dogs and many strays are very friendly. Not all cats and dogs are dangerous, so why shouldn't we allow them to roam about? Yes, they can get killed, sick, die from starvation etc., but they might also be taken care of by the locals and live. That's just life.
