The true heart of innovation is seeing a problem in a whole new way, and Gary Michelson sees pet population control as a problem of method, not intention. In other words, if we had a better method, more pets would be sterilized. USATODAY.com: Inventor Michelson offers $75M for a way to sterilize pets, 2008-Oct-15, by Sharon L. Peters (via Bark Blog): A very rich, very impatient retired surgeon wants the pet overpopulation solved.
So Gary Michelson has put a hard-to-ignore enticement on the table: $75 million.
The person or group that comes up first with a safe, one-time non-surgical means to sterilize male and female cats and dogs gets $25 million, Michelson's non-profit Found Animals Foundation will announce today .... And up to $50 million more will be available to support the research of one or several individuals who come forward with plausible approaches.
