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!
