Nathan Winograd quotes:

If every animal shelter in the United States embraced the No Kill philosophy and the programs and services that make it possible, we would save nearly four million dogs and cats who are scheduled to die in shelters this year, and the year after that. It is not an impossible dream.

A veterinarian who naively gave PETA some of the animals, thinking they would find them homes, and examined the dead bodies of others, testified that they were 'healthy' and 'adoptable.'

Communities of every demographic (north, south, urban, rural, public animal control shelter, private shelter) have achieved No Kill success.

Simply put, killing healthy or treatable animals is immoral.

No Kill may be defined by what happens to the animals within the halls of the shelter, but it can only be achieved by what happens outside of them.

To the extent that animals continue to die needlessly, we are morally bound to speak.

While spay neuter is important, our goal has never been no more births, even though reducing birth rates might help. Our goal has been and is, and has always been no more killing. And when you focus on the no more killing part, spay neuter actually takes a backseat to all those other programs like foster care, and adoptions, and helping people overcome the challenges they face that cause them to surrender their animals.
