No Kill Louisville

Leo Weekly recently did an article concerning the new adoption center being built to ease some of the strain on the staff and animals at Louisville Metro Animal Services, the city-run shelter.  It's incredible what the staff there has done in the few months since the defunct director resigned.

This article is a little harsh given that building and planning the adoption center was under the former leadership.  However, it does make a few good points.  I also call into question quoting a past director in that no one asked how many animals were dying while he was in charge. 

As you know, No Kill Louisville does not believe that killing animals equals success.  Challenging the status quo and *helping* the staff and animals at the shelter is the only path to a No Kill community. 

I am quoted in this article. I do support the shelter fully and completely - but only because those working there are now working toward a better environment and approach for the animals. They are making strides and this effort should not be ignored.

Having said that - here is the article:
