If Reading About It Is Too Awful Then What About Doing It?

RECEIVED Mon., Nov. 28, 2005

Dear Editor,
    It's too ironic that there is such a furor over Rachel Proctor May's article describing euthanasia at the Town Lake Animal Center [“What Happened to the No-Kill Millennium?,” News, Nov. 18]. Folks: Think about what you're saying! If reading about it is too awful to bear, then surely doing it is worse. The root causes must be addressed – continue to reduce (to zero!) the number of unwanted domesticated animals born, and increase the already Herculean efforts various organizations such as Emancipet already perform to take care of those already born. Keeping our animals healthy and alive should be our goal.
