How far has the No Kill movement come? My walk through an airport yesterday on the way to New York tells the story. On layover, I noticed one of the gate monitors for a flight going to Marquette, MI, a community with a 97% save rate. At the next gate was a flight going to Duluth, MN, a community with a 95% save rate. Then I passed another: Saulte Ste. Marie, MI, with a 97% save rate. From my arrival gate to my departure gate, I walked by five gates of flights traveling to communities with save rates of 90% or better, with Ithaca, NY and St. Paul, MN, at 90%, rounding them out. (If you also include Cortland, that is six.) A little over a decade ago, that number would have been zero. Today, there are hundreds, with over seven million people living in those communities. What can we do when we refuse to accept killing? We can go from zero such communities to one, from one to hundreds, from hundreds to a No Kill nation. A No Kill nation is within our reach… -------- Join me tonight in Buffalo, NY, for a screening of Redemption, my film about the No Kill revolution in America.
