What are no shelters?
No shelters are shelters for animals that have only committed themselves to euthanization of non -perpetable and non -open animals, which means that adoptable or medically healing animals are rescued and accepted, regardless of how long the process of adoption could take. In the animal rights community there are many controversies over shelters for killing for various reasons. Many communities, including the town of San Francisco and Tompkins County in New York, worked as killing and mammoth efforts from many members of these communities have made this effort successful.
The intention of establishing a hiding without killing is excellent. It is estimated that at least six million cats and dogs are euthanized in the United States every year because homes cannot be found for them. The non -killing shelter undertakes to find houses for all the animals that accepts and will not expose animals to euthanasia unless necessary. People can give up healthy pets to kill hiding with the certainty that these animals will be found houses and fans of shelterThey often feel more comfortable to donate resources and energy.
However, there is a dark side that is not killed in any way, starting with the deadlines of "unforgettable" and "unpaid". In an ideal world, "unacceptable" animals would be animals with serious behavior problems, but the term is often extended to animals that are too old, too disabled or too unattractive to seek pets. "Incorrect" animals are also on a slippery slope, because some shelters without killing routinely euthanize animals that would be treatable, although veterinary accounts can be high. Very few shelters without killing actually fit into a strict definition of organizations, such as Maxfund, which really only worsens animals with severe, non -healing diseases.
In addition, because no shelters of killing are unable to make difficulty. Selection of euthanizing animals to create space must avertt animals away. In communities that do not work with their shelters without killing, this often means that the so -called "open reception" is placed a large burden that must bring them all animals. Critics without killing shelters sometimes call them "limited acceptance" shelters, which is a reference to the fact that animals are often turned away because there is no space.
For hiding without killing, cooperation in the community is required. The movement without killing relies on collective efforts between hiding and community, starting with responsible ownership of pets, spaying and castration and understanding that people must commit themselves to their pets throughout their lives. No shelters often invest a large amount of energy in community reach, provide dog training, spay and neutered clinics, cheap vaccines and adoption services in community and shelter. Without the support of his community, shelter without killing will not be able to succeed.
Many humane societies, except most municipal shelters, are open reception shelters. AsThanks to these steps, they believe that the provision of shelter is of primary importance to all necessary animals because it offers kind and humane death to millions of undesirable animals every year. In some cases, these shelters rely on the efforts of local rescue organizations to save adoptive animals submitted to the opening of reception shelters. This is an example of cooperative understanding that can exist between open acceptance and without shelters, and many communities choose it as a starting point on the way to killing.
