The ONLY way to achieve a No Kill status in animal shelters, is for shelter operators to STOP KILLING pets in their so called "shelters".

If every shelter director decided today, to stop the killing, THERE WILL BE NO MORE KILLING OF ANIMALS IN SHELTERS, AND WE WILL BE A NO KILL NATION.

The only reason why pets are being killed in "shelters" is because "shelters" are killing them.

It's really very easy to understand.

TNR Programs keep 85% of cats out of shelters to begin with, which drastically reduces the kill rate, allows "more room" for other animals, and gives the animals in the shelter a better chance of being adopted before "kill time".

Foster Programs allow more animals to be placed in shelters, without killing those already there.

Friendly relations with rescuers or laws (Like Oreo's Law) would allow countless animals to be rescued and saved.

Increasing Adopathons, with some creative touches such as raffles, and prizes, and lollipops and popcorn for all would bring out many people, increasing the adoption rate infinitely.

Would be pet parents dont want to go to a concentration camp, where there is a total disregard for the lives of pets, because it's depressing and there is an unwelcome feeling knowing that lives are ended there needlessly. They want to go to a place where pets are treated like everyone else...with love, kindness and with a deep reverence for their precious lives and precious souls. Only No-Kill Shelters offer such love, kindness and reverence for pets and only No-Kill Shelters offer such a happy, positive environment for pet lovers looking for a new four legged family member.

The list goes on and on.

It's a no brainer with a clear CORRECT answer: No-Kill is the ONLY way to go, if we want to stop the massacre of 4 - 5 million innocent pets every year in "shelters".

It works, as evidenced by the fact that it HAS WORKED EVERYWHERE, WHERE THE COMMUNITY AND POLITICIANS HAVE GIVEN IT A FAIR CHANCE.

Bottom line: There is a large HUMAN ANIMAL overpopulation problem in this world. There are seven billion of us crowding and destroying the Earth and everyone else on it. Kids in Africa are starving, suffering. Bathing in feces coated water.

Kids in poor neighborhoods suffer, and get hit over the head for their Nikes.

Adults are getting high blood pressure and diabetes from all the stress of the poor economy.

Life is hard. It gets rough. The killers of pets use the "life is hard...it gets rough" excuse as a way to justify (unsuccessfully) their killing of precious pets.

Is anyone reading this, in support of "euthanizing" humans?

I didnt think so.

Then DONT DO IT TO EQUALLY AS PRECIOUS LIVING SOULS...CATS, DOGS AND OTHER PETS.

TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WOULD WANT YOU OR YOUR FAMILY TREATED.

ANYONE WANT TO DIE TODAY?

NO

ANYONE WANT THEIR KIDS STOLEN OFF THE STREETS BY THE "HUMAN ANIMAL CONTROL", TAKEN TO A DEATH CAMP, CALLED A "HUMAN ANIMAL SHELTER" AND KILLED?

NO

Yet again, we have come to the root of this problem: SPECIESISM..

Live and let live instead of hiding this "My kind is better than your kind" speciesist nonsense deep in your consciousness, as you try to excuse the killings, or sugar coat them.

Murder is murder. Killing a healthy living individual person (4 legged or 2 legged) is ethically criminal, because it is EVERYBODY'S birth right to LIVE, LOVE and to be LOVED.

That is the ultimate correct answer to this whole problem.

Humans need to unlearn what they have learned (the "We are 'supreme' beings, better than others", nonsense)

Whites thought they were better than blacks. They were wrong. Blacks have rights.

Men thought they were better than women. They were wrong. Women have rights.

Humans think they are better than their fellow animals. They are wrong. It is time to give Animals rights, to protect them from the speciesist frauds who think they were given an invisible "Play God" license from Heaven.

TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES TREATED.

Then we'll be No Kill.

Do we want it bad enough to INSIST that the killing stops?

That question can only be answered by the individual reading this right now.
