Other companies beating Gary Michelson to chemical sterilization, Zeuterin

This drug was originally introduced before Gary Michelson came on the scene. It was called Neutersol but is now called Zeuterin. When originally sold as Neutersol the company did not train the veterinarians how to properly inject the animal. Some dogs has complications such as swollen testicles. The shot has to be precise. Neutersol went under but new company Zeuterin is here.

They have developed a better way to train veterinarians to give the shot properly. Again, Gary Michelson knew about this drug. We spoke about it when the company was floundering. It would have been a good idea for Gary Michelson to have bought the license or rights to the drug at that time but he didn't. Gary Michelson does not want to solve overpopulation. He wants to make money and get good press. He now admits that he only gives to groups that make him "feel good." Meanwhile other people are out there trying to solve the problem.

The article brings up an interesting point. Gary Michelson wants to make money. He wants a product he can patent, own and sell for profits and glory. He doesn't care about reducing overpopulation. If he did he would use one of the many already developed, patented, tested drugs to reduce overpopulation. The Michelson Prize was set up to give $25M for a one shot sterilant for male/female cats/dogs. This article notes that developing a drug to solve third world problems won't make you money. Veterinarians make money selling spay and neuter. They won't want to use the drug because they don't make as much money. This is something public shelters, rescuers, third world countries would want or some philanthropist who truly cares about animals. They won't pay $25M for it. This is another reason why Gary Michelson is not giving out the award.

The only way I could see someone willing to pay $25M for such a drug is if it can be used for pest control. There is definitely a market for humane pest control. By pest control I mean reducing number of say mice, rats, pigeons, ground squirrels, wild bunnies, gophers, moles, voles, bats, crows, starlings, house sparrows, deer.... unprotected nuisance wildlife. I believe a post or two ago I posted about a new sterilant they will be using with rats. Now that could be worth something.
