I don't know much about No Kill animal shelters. I want to hope they are better than regular ones. I want to tell a story that just happened to me. I hate animal shelters. PERIOD, the so called 'HUMANE' as most of them like to call themselves. They are all killers and the other day they proved it to me one more time. On our landlord's property a very nice stray female cat that I became very good friends with gave birth to 3 cute kittens. They were so playful, adorable, nice, cute, happy, full of life... I was feeding the mama cat and them until they were at least 2 month old, but then i called the landlord to tell him about the problem, so we decided to turn them in to the nearest animal shelter in South Carolina. I agreed with him because as I thought the kittens would be better off that way and the shelter would take care of them and do their best to find loving homes for them or at least give them such a chance before being euthanized. We turned the kittens in and then, a little later, through an email I asked the shelter if it would be possible to find out if the kittens were adopted or not. They answered me that they do not give such an information and added that i could keep checking their website for updates. OK, I have been doing that for almost a month already and there are no signs, no pictures, no information about the kittens, like they never existed, vanished into thin air. I sent them another email asking what happened to the kittens, are they still alive or not, were they adopted or not, where are they...? I sent my message to them twice to be sure they got it. As a result, I have never heard from them. Their silence was the best proof of not having even put the kittens up for adoption (but they were adoptable 100%) If I had known all that about animal shelters, I would have never turned the kittens in. I would have solved the problem myself, but i made a very big mistake, maybe the biggest in my life and I regret it very very much.

OK, if they, like they say, run out of resources and capacity and whatever else, why the hell do they take in more animals than they can handle????? I do not understand that. What, killing them is the best way to solve the prblem? Yeah, that's right, no animal, no problem. I'm very pissed off. From now on I will never have anything to do with AS, or animal concentration camps to be more exact.
