How is my saying I support no-kill shelters insulting to them? I don't get
it. As for animals being too dangerous to be adopted, I am not sure if that
is possible since I believe most if not all animals can be rehabilitated.
Animal Cops which was a show on Animal Planet showed that they can. I don't
believe those animal behaviorists who say there is no hope. There is always
hope. BTW, I wish you would not put words in my mouth. I never said
dangerous animals aren't euthanized. In fact I never even mentioned
dangerous animals. This whole thread has been those who euthanize vs those
that don't. I don't believe in the practice. The only time a cat should be
put to sleep is when they are in so much pain for them due to illness that
it would be very hard for them to go on. The animal I also believes chooses
the time they wish to leave this plane just as we humans do. It is called
free will and free choice.

As for unlimited funds for no-kill shelters, most rely on donations and some
also go to great lengths to foster. You seem to have this vision that
no-kills are false and are not as good as those that euthanize. That is pure
hogwash in my book. No-kills mean just that. They do not kill. I think every
shelter should be no-kill. At least then every cat could have a place to go
and have double the chance of getting adopted.

Cat Protector neglected to answer some questions and concerns that I
had about a previous post before repeating some of the same statements
that I questioned a few days ago. It was implied that only no-kill
shelters have true concern for animals. That is totally untrue and
insulting to the dedicated people who work and volunteer there.

I again ask you "What do think we should do with animals
that are too dangerous to be adopted, or even fostered when all the
behavior specialists say there is no hope for rehabilitation?

What would you do with a dog that has killed other dogs, bit multiple
people over a period of time, and has now severly injured a child. Do
you want to foster a pit bull that has been trained to kill and is out
of control?"

You have the right to say anything that you want to here, but I would
ask you to be more honest and to reply to the questions that I asked
before.

What is done with out-of-control animals who are dangerous? What about
ones who are dying and in pain? You say they are never euthanised, but
I cannot believe that is the truth.

Does anyone believe there are enough no-kill shelters with unlimited
funds who can take in every animal that is offered to them or find
them another shelter or foster? The no-kills in my area certainly
don't have that luxury.
