Achieving No Kill is not complicated, but it does require
replacing the traditional model of animal sheltering which is passive,
complacent and plagued by convenience killing, with a proactive, can-do
attitude and work ethic that rejects killing. The programs of the No Kill
Equation require dedication and effort and for this reason, are sometimes
portrayed by the traditional sheltering establishment as “controversial.” They
are not. They are simple procedures that
Americans would be shocked to learn shelters are not already doing.
When a shelter director says they are “opposed to No Kill,”
it means they reject foster care in favor of killing, reject vaccinations and
medical care in favor of killing, reject knocking on doors to get lost dogs
home rather than killing, and reject adoptions in favor of killing. In other
words, they are advocating killing in the face of readily-available,
cost-effective alternatives to killing. The same is true of each and every
program of the No Kill Equation, because when a shelter implements them
comprehensively, they achieve No Kill. .
Who am I? a volunteer
for a rescue. I became involved by adopting, then I fostered. Bingo brought me and
others so much love. But, I lost a sweet
soul that was a kill shelter rescue, he went to the Rainbow Bridge before I was
ready. . I cherished every moment with him. I will continue to morn but because
of the joy he brought me, feel the need to speak for those who cannot speak for
themselves.
Bingo
RIP
