It boils down to money. If you commit to taking everything in, you can't
house them forever. My group is a no-kill group, however we turn animals away every week. We keep them in our homes. We don't get public funds, just the adoption fee and some donations. -- Joe http://www.jwpitt.com/cats.htm Cat Rescue http://www.animalrescuefoundation.com God created the cat so man could have the pleasure of petting the tiger "Mary" wrote in message ... Those situations do happen, but do any of you really think that the people doing the euthanasia enjoy it or that the shelter doesn't do everything it can to see that the ONLY animals euthanized are terribly sick or terribly aggressive? The shelter employees do not enjoy it. Euthanasia duty pays a lot more than regular duty and you're only allowed to do it so many months at a time because of the psychological stress. The shelter employees generally do everything they can to place an animal. I walk in there and they are talking up all the dogs, especially sweet dogs near the end of the alloted time. They offer to foster kittens at home. Most of the employees at Los Angeles city shelters are great and truly love animals. The problem is just really big and multi-faceted. Everyone is trying to work on it to make LA no-kill. We'll see how it goes. |
