N o
Animal shelter
N /a
I have worked animal rescue in my local city
for 20+ years, and the current system of
having a time limit on animals lives is not
o nly harmful for them, its harmful for local
tax payers. The average euthanasia is more
e xpensive per animal than spaying or
n eutering them and expanding facilities. This
is due to the medications used, as well as the
political backlash and eventual lawsuits your
city wilt face due to someone's pet being
e uthanized by mistake.
Euthanasia programs hurt everyone, please
support education, spay neuter programs,
and support instead.
