Just read this post by Nathan Winograd, the No Kill expert: from nathan winograd Do not embrace, do not defend, do not justify, do not excuse, do not legitimize any organization that says the killing of dogs, the killing of cats, the killing of rabbits, the killing of hamsters, the killing of gerbils, the killing of any other animal who is not suffering is “necessary,” is “a necessary evil,” is “proper,” is “kindness,” is “ethical,” is “humane,” is consistent with the mission of an SPCA, humane society, or animal rights organization. “We kill puppies” and “we love puppies” is a contradiction. Killing is not an act of love; it is an act of violence. 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." –Nelson Mandela
