I agree. The No-Kill Shelters have one major hang up that nobody really acknowledges . . . there is usually a waiting list to drop off an unwanted animal. This forces people to creatively get rid of the pet in less humane ways. I've volunteered in both Kill and No-Kill Shelters. For those who are lucky enough to find a forever home I am thankful. I am also appreciative of the Kill Shelter Staff who are strong enough to humanely end the lives of those unwanted pets and save them from an otherwise abusive, neglected, painful, horrible life.
Over 10,000 unwanted pets are euthanized EACH DAY in shelters all across our country. 10,000 A DAY!!! Please don't litter, Spay and Neuter!
