Modern moral
philosophy becomes part of the problem, for its stress on autonomy, like its corresponding attempt to free ethics from history, produces people incapable of living lives that have narrative coherence.
Well, actually the «founders
of No Kill» have always been a very select group whose love
of all animals gradually but steadily led to the changing mindset and
philosophy of saving rather than killing; not nearly enough credit has been given to all the independent and non-profit rescues, adoption groups and especially TNR groups who were promoting and practicing S / N and vaccinations long before low cost S / N clinics
became available... such clinics still NOT that readily available in many jurisdictions; as for the veterinary community, for the most
part, they were and are a major
part of the
problem along with their associations which remain regressive with their rather antiquated and self - serving leadership; for decades and even to this day it has long been known that the NUMBER ONE REASON people do not get their animals «fixed» (pet, stray, feral, it doesn't matter) is because
of the lack
of affordable S / N fees!
