This makes me so angry, especially when helping small, rural shelters try to fundraise money just to be able to have animals spayed/neutered or for vaccines. I am currently trying to find help with a 1 year old lab with 3 fractured legs. How are we supposed to raise funds to cover surgery, post op care, medical fosters, etc.? We will do it somehow, but it shouldn't be this hard. The plus is, I was able to address his issues immediately to remind the shelter about their desire to be No Kill, so as to not dare entertain the though of killing him. And I agree, there is tomorrow. Thank you for all you do Nathan, you are always a beacon of light.
Appalling is too charitable a word to describe the defeat of Bowie's Law. How can the HSUS, ASPCA and Best Friends legally get away with spending only 1% (if that) on needy animals ??? And why aren't PETA terrorists in jail for their criminal activity?? Anyone in these organizations who is making a fat salary and not giving some of it back to the animals should be charged with embezzlement. What a moral cesspool these groups are swimming in. I hope that their choice to defeat this commonsense law, that would have helped so many pets, will strike a warning chord with their supporters and show them the light of day as far as where their money is going. I hope I live long enough to see the collapse of all these hellhole organizations.
Thank you Nathan for your perseverance in speaking up for the poor souls brought to torment by this evil. I'm a vet tech for almost 30 years and find reasons every day to be sickened by what I see in the "animal care" professions. You are someone I would love to work for, as you espouse everything that's necessary to achieving the No Kill nation. Please don't lose hope--there's a reason for this fight.
James Baldwin once wrote that he had to re-invent hope every day. It is a hard one ... to see ongoing harm and be defeated in stopping it but nothing else I know works except to keep on going and when one does others join in: One day animal cruelty will be something un common. a thing of the past.. I don't know the mechanism , the switch, where by animal welfare groups go from raising money for animals to using animals to raise money. One of the organizations that made that switchover mentioned in the essay long ago told me the road to success was low ego, high work ethic., It still is.
Sad indeed — again, unbelievable — as you state, Nathan, tomorrow is another day to continue this fight FOR Animals — I hope to recruit more and more people and share in the truth of Animal Sheltering and the changes needed to make this a NO-KILL society.
