My god, the numbers for 2005 and 2004 show a euthanasia rate
of about 50% In 2004 that was almost 25 EVERY DAY. This place must
employ a full time death squad. These guys are years away from
anything vaguely resembling "no-kill", they wouldn't even know how to
start.
Their IRS 990 form (income and expenses, available at www.guidestar.org ) shows that in 2004 their
income was over a million dollars more than their expenses and they had over 7
million in cash and other assets. Shows what you can do when running a
slaughterhouse. You'd think they might consider taking a few million and
building a larger facility so they wouldn't need to kill so many healthy and
adoptable animals to have room to take in more animals. They might also
want to consider a few more dollars on vet care as their kill rate for "medical
reasons" seems very high.
I work with a real no-kill shelter and we hardly ever put an
animal down except in extreme circumstances. Of course, we are always
broke and Tacoma has 7 million dollars.
