The PETA shelter in Norfolk, Virginia, for example, kills an average of 2,000 dogs and cats per year, and does relatively few adoptions, giving away a mere 19 dogs and cats in 2012, and 24 in 2011. In New York, the no-kill movement has dramatically reduced (from 31,701 in 2003 to 8,252 last year) the number of dogs and cats being euthanized, but PETA hasn’t been part of the push for New York to become a no-kill community, something Matthew Bershadker, the president and chief executive of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, thinks can happen by 2015.
