More Shelter No. 6

Dear Editor,
    Thanks for the story emphasizing that Austin isn't a no-kill city yet and pointing out the true and tragic outcome for many of our adoptable dogs and cats [“What Happened to the No-Kill Millennium?,” News, Nov. 18]. I hope you can follow up with a piece that discusses the solutions to the problem so that Austin can take responsibility and action individually and as a community to reduce the number of animals that enter the shelter and diminish the kill-rate of our dogs and cats along with it. A few solutions to make a difference include spaying and neutering your pets, keeping your pets for their lifetime, and volunteering with various animal-welfare organizations. Thanks again.
