Many states have adopted a no kill stand on the euthanization of animals. NY prides itself in being one of the Global Power Cities in the world. Yet they are hiding a dirty little secret. In New York State, 71% of rescue groups have been turned away by at least one shelter, and that shelter then turned around and killed the very animals the group offered to save. This scenario happens roughly 70 times per day, every day, in NYS shelters. Today, the total number of animals killed who rescue groups were willing to save hit 20,000 since the ASPCA, Best Friends Animal Society, the Maddies Fund-funded Mayor’s Alliance, and their pro-killing allies succeeded in defeating Oreo’s Law last year. 20,000 animals who will never again sleep, or play, or bark, or meow, or purr, or love, or be loved because they are gone forever. Please help speak out against the officials in NYC that are blocking laws to help the animals. Ed Sayres/ASPCA, Jane Hoffman/Mayor’s Alliance, Gregory Castle/ Best Friends & Julie Bank
