Two years ago, Ed Sayres, the ASPCA's hard-hearted, small-minded President, ordered Oreo, an abused dog, killed. A law to prevent that from ever happening again in a NY shelter was also killed by Sayres. Since that time, the number of animals killed in NY shelters who rescued groups were willing to save has exceeded 35,000. Lined up side-by-side, the dead bodies... would form a line 10 miles long.

Today, we focus on the fight for No Kill in Dallas, Texas, the Twin Cities, Minnesota and elsewhere and ramifications for other communities. While Dallas No Kill advocates need to stay vigilant as killing apologists and anti-reform activists are trying to co-opt the No Kill movement, in the larger sense this signals a step closer to the demise of the status quo.
