Instead of a "kill shelter," ACCT needs to be a "'til they all find a home" shelter! This would also ensure that any pets whose owners do not know they are there will have extra, ample time to find them and bring them home!
As an avid dog liver and dog mom to many dogs over the years I'm deeply concerned about animal welfare . ACCT PHILLY is a haven for dogs and cats , however it's not in the best interest of the animals . Yes I get overcrowding and all the issues they face caring for these animals , but instead of killing them for space just to kill more that's not the answer . As stated in this petition we have to do better . These animals didn't ask to be dumped . Let's look at all the improvements of this pet and hope to improve these animals lives not just kill them . It's a mountain to climb with issues stemming from people not being able to afford their pets . You need to chose between putting food on the table , paying the bills or surrendering your animal . I for one who lives on a fixed income would never put myself before my pets -- they are family . Don't really know how to achieve this goal , but in reality it's all about a people problem that causes the animal problem .I think it's time to try to band together to see if we can do better by following the agenda outlined in this petition. Also stop breeding so many animals for profit. Which really goes well with the adopt don't shop theory. Our country is in turmoil with rising costs everywhere . Vet costs run high people can't afford it . Let's find a solution to low cost vet care, and responsible pet ownership . These animals count on us . Let's fight for them . Cause there has to be a better way 😌 ✨️!!!
