When Animals Die in Shelters: Who Really Kills Them?
from opposingviews.com
We have become a nation whereby people just don't want to
accept the responsibility of the consequences of their actions. For every
action there is a reaction.
There is a movement in
this country that is deceptive at best and is causing animals unnecessary
suffering. This movement is the "No Kill" (NK). The term alone is deceiving.
If you aren't for No Kill, then you must be for killing, is how the public
perceives it with the use of this term. Roger Caras, longtime President of
the ASPCA, called No Kill a hoax, something that hurts
shelters
and he was right.
