Still No Kill? Part Two (Episode 236)

In part two of this episode of the Animal Control Report, hosts Ashley, Ashlee, and Daniel engage in a candid conversation with Temma Martin, a former Best Friends Animal Society employee, to discuss the "no kill" movement and its controversial impact on homeless pets. Temma brings her extensive experience to the table, offering her perspective on why "no kill" policies may not be the ultimate solution for animal welfare.

The discussion breaks down the unintended consequences of the "no kill" philosophy, such as overcrowded shelters, compromised animal care, and the pressure placed on staff and resources. Temma and the hosts explore why this approach has created a significant divide in the animal welfare industry, highlighting the ethical and practical dilemmas faced by shelters striving to meet "no kill" standards.

Tune in for a thought-provoking episode that challenges the idealistic view of "no kill" and prompts a reevaluation of what truly constitutes humane and effective animal welfare practices.
