Too Many Animals Die in Austin

Dear Editor,
    As an animal rescuer in Austin, I see every day the heartbreak of death at TLAC [“What Happened to the No-Kill Millennium?,” News, Nov. 18]. Many times if we don't take a cat, it dies. We are its last chance. We can only do so much. We can only take in so many cats. The public and city officials have got to step up and do their part. Owners must be responsible and spay and neuter their animals. City officials must enforce the rules. A new multimillion-dollar shelter is not the answer. Thank you for telling the story as it is. Thank you for exposing the truth. Too many animals die in Austin. It is a shame, and it should not happen. And, we are sorry for that. Thank you for being brave enough to talk about it.
