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

In the final analysis, animals in shelters are not being killed because there are too many of them, because there are too few homes, or because the public is irresponsible. Animals in shelters are dying for primarily one reason–because people in shelters are killing them.

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.

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