Under his leadership, Tompkins County, NY, became A NATIONWIDE FIRST: PROTECTING FULL-TERM, UNBORN PUPPIES Not only does killing healthy, full-term in utero puppies and kittens violate the No Kill philosophy, it is a way to obscure statistics. Because they are not yet born, even when they are sentient, able to live on their own, removed from the mother during a spay surgery, and killed one by one through an overdose of barbiturates, their deaths

FOLLOW THE (LACK OF) MONEY Follow the lack of money. For the small percentage of poor people who do not initially get the free care offered for their pets (about 10%), Rowan and Arluke speculate that the state’s history with eugenics that forced black women to get sterilized is to blame. The evidence for this proposition is weak, with the authors admitting that it is

THE END OF BSL

The End of BSL. Part I of a series of 2018 animal news in review. Me in Austin, TX, which has made headlines of its own this year. In 2009, 7% of dogs were killed in the Austin municipal shelter ostensibly for “aggression.”. In 2015, it was 1%. In 2018, it is 1/20th of 1%. Early in the new year, I’ll be doing a radio interview PETA: ‘IT’S THE FAMILY’S FAULT WE KILLED THEIR DOG PETA: ‘It’s the family’s fault we killed their dog’.

But according to the loudest voices in the American animal rights movement today, living with companion dogs and cats is a “necessary evil” at best; at worst, it is a relationship between “master” and “slave” and those animals would be better off if they did THE NO KILL EQUATION Two decades ago, the concept of a No Kill community was little more than a dream. Today, it is a reality in many cities and counties nationwide and the numbers continue to grow.And the first step is a decision by a shelter’s leadership: a commitment to reject kill-oriented ways of doing business, to replace a regressive, anachronistic 19th century model of failure with 21st century THIS WEEK IN ANIMAL RIGHTS (MAY 17, 2021) Despite alarmist headlines about post-pandemic adoption returns, intakes are down overall.

NO KILL QUICK FACTS

A Model of Innovative, Compassionate Animal Sheltering. No Kill is an innovative, cost-effective model of animal sheltering that allows open admission animal control shelters to save all healthy and treatable animals. Unlike the “adopt some and kill the rest” form of animal sheltering that has dominated in the United States for the past 100 THIS WEEK IN ANIMAL RIGHTS (MAR. 29, 2021 This Week in Animal Rights (Mar. 29, 2021) In 2012, Lincoln County, NC, was killing 63% of all animals who entered its pound. They finished 2020 with a placement rate of 97% for dogs, 96% for cats, and 100% for rabbits and other small animal companions.

HORROR AT AN EL PASO KILL SHELTER Horror at an El Paso Kill Shelter. PETA’s call for a criminal investigation was warranted, but so is the need for an earnest campaign to reform the shelter and bring it and its cruel, outdated practices into the 21st century, as many communities throughout Texas have already done. Given to them by a whistleblower, PETA has released PETA’S ‘OUTLANDISH LIES’ PETA’s ‘Outlandish Lies’. One of many healthy puppies killed by PETA after lying to get custody of him. PETA promised he would have no problem finding a home only to then kill him within minutes in the back of their van.

We have the power to build a new consensus, which rejects killing as a method for achieving results. And we can look forward to a time when the wholesale slaughter of animals in shelters is viewed as a cruel aberration of the past. We have a choice. We can fully, completely, and without reservation embrace No Kill as our future. Or we can continue to legitimize the two-pronged strategy of failure: adopt a few and kill the rest. It is a choice which history has thrown upon us. We are the generation that questioned the killing. We are the generation that has discovered how to stop it. Will we be the generation that does? “Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. We can be that great generation.”

REDEMPTION

This is the story of animal sheltering, which was born of compassion and then lost its way. It is the story of the No Kill movement, which says we can and must stop the killing. It is about heroes and villains, betrayal and redemption. And it is about a social movement as noble and just as those that have come before. But most of all, it is a story about believing in the community and trusting in the power

of compassion.
