We have a Humane Society "no kill" shelter fairly close to me. Their
policy for accepting owner relinquished animals is very strict, only the
most "adoptable" animals are admitted to the program. Completely
understandable. I heard a very disturbing report from a rescue friend
of mine that some of the animals that are there too long, or are deemed
unadoptable are sent to the pound for disposal. "No kill" is a highly
debatable concept. There are worse things than death, like a life
sentence of caged solitary confinement for aggressive animals that are
not able to be socialized or rehabilitated. I don't know anything about
the shelter in question and am coming to this thread late, but perhaps
their standards of euthanasia are uncomfortably drastic because they are
labeled "no kill" and are doing their best for the animals that have a
better chance at finding a true forever home. Everyone in rescue has to
face hard choices. Perhaps we don't have all the facts that would help
us understand exactly what is motivating this policy. All we can do is
put our hard earned knowledge out there and do our best to help it find
the ears of those in need.
Blessings to all those in need, four leggers and two,

How can it be No Kill if it kills cats simply for testing positive for
corona? That is not No Kill.
I think the largest actual No Kill shelter is probably Best Friends in
Utah, which has several thousand cats and dogs at a time and does not
kill based on tests.
