No-Kill Shelters More Progressive Than Productive
(SHELTER ANIMALS) Are no-kill shelters really the solution to the abandoned pet population pandemic? Some believe not. And while we at Global Animal don’t believe in controlling the pet population through euthanization, the fact that no-kill shelters choose to only accept animals that are potential prospects for adoption isn’t really fixing the problem. Rather than ‘not euthanizing’ homeless animals, no-kill shelters opt to leave them to the streets where they’re susceptible to being hit by cars, attacked by other animals, or starvation. It seems the only solution with results to back it up is spaying and neutering. In the past four decades, due to spaying and neutering, the country’s animal euthanization numbers have dropped from 20 million a year to less than four million in 2011. So I ask you again, global animals: are No-Kill Shelters really the solution? Or just another tactic for irresponsible pet owners to feel progressive and better about themselves? — Global Animal

Judge Rakoff issued a preliminary injunction to halt the airing of the ad while hearing both sides. Read on for more from this trial ‘littered’ in controversy. — Global Animal
