I think working towards a no kill nation is the only way we can move forward humanely. A no kill nation is not simply about stopping the mass killings that go on in the shelters today. It is a philosophy that recognizes that all life is precious, that there needs to be education about responsible pet ownership, a better criminal system to deal with the abuse of animals already in our world, promotion of spay/neuter, and a different way of managing the over population. I think a no kill nation is entirely possible. However, it is a new paradigm of thought, and it requires ownership by all of us. Sure, we do have a pet over population. But, we also have a disposable attitude, and 'its just a animal' attitude that needs to be dealt with.
Don't ever think what any of us do, alone, doesn't work.
