RE: No-kill vs. non no-kill shelters page 12This is a discussion thread · 102 replies kg: [nq:1]Actually, I'm in favor of sterilization. I'm fully expecting flames, but there are just some people that should not have ... - we can pick and choose who gets which animal based on a number of factors. Children aren't so lucky.[/nq]i agree that: - some people should not be allowed to have children - some people should not be allowed to live with animals as companions those people fall into two major categories: those that are "bad" parents and those that are unable to support their children. we can usually only identify those in the first group after the fact, when it is often too late. those in the second group are easier to identify. some of them are individuals that live in a country where they SHOULD be able to but for one reason or another fall short. then there are those that live in a place where the enviropnment cannot support the population. (this is one of the reasons i don't support famine relief efforts. the land cannot support the population, so couples have more and more children because (1) they are poor and/or under the spell of some organized myth-worshipping group AKA religion and are without adequate access to birth control or (2) think the extra bodies will aid in scratching out more food from the depleted earth. as the saying goes. nature is trying to restore balance.) dogs/cats? we can begin by shutting down the breeders. boycott "pet stores" that sell living species such as dogs, cats, birds until they cease. get local/state governments to provide or at least help defray the costs of spay/neuter. continue educating the public. allow caretakers who prtactice TNR (trap-neuter-release) access to public/private property to set up our feeding stations and weather shelters. so much to be done. i'm going back to bed!

They donate cat and dog food to us, and open their doors at each store for "satellite centers" for our adoptable animals - and they're working on building a fourth store with another center! It's something many humane societies do, and lately we haven't been able to keep their satellite centers full (don't get me wrong, we have cats, but the requirements for going to the centers aren't always easy to meet - negative fecal, healthy, gets along with other cats). At least one other pet store in town partners with another humane society for their animals as well.

Cat Protector: What store is it? I know the Petsmart and Petcos here in the Phoenix have a small adoption area for cats which I guess can be considered a satellite center. Plenty of rescues use it too.Cat Galaxy: All Cats! All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of Your Computer Needs! www.panthertekit.com
