In response to public outcry over its high euthanasia rates The Lost Dogs Home proposes it will drop its kill rate by 2% and start calling itself ‘low kill’.
Yes you read that right. They’re planning to take themselves from a high kill pound to a ‘low kill’ pound; not by changing policies, significantly increasing the number of pets they save, implementing more of the No Kill Equation or engaging their community, but simply by starting to call themselves ‘low kill’.
No Kill advocates will recognise the exploitation of the language of our movement. This organisation kills a staggering number of animals and rather than learn from their mistakes, they are now attempting to divert attention away from their failure to put in place the programs and services that would have saved these lives.
The Lost Dogs Home have shown that they are a devious, outdated relic of sheltering who must now be pressured by their supporters and the pet loving community to not only pay lip service to, but completely embrace the No Kill model, whether they desire to or not. The truth is out and the future of this organisation cannot be allowed to be the same as its past.
We will not accept killing in the face of proven, lifesaving alternatives one moment longer. Enough is enough.
