Despite New Jersey Shelters impounding a fraction of the animals many no kill communities take in on a pet capita basis, New Jersey’s state animal control facilities continue to kill and allow animals to die under their care. These are poor innocent animals who are being killed. Instead of facing the lives of the adoptable animals, these shelters are taking the violent option out and are euthanizing these animals if they do not get adopted in a certain amount of time. Delaware has become the first no kill shelter state and New Jersey should also be too. New Jersey wants to become a no kill shelter state by 2025 but by that time thousands of more animals will have already been put to sleep. We need to change now and help these poor animals.
