More Shelter No. 12
RECEIVED Thu., Dec. 1, 2005
Dear Editor,
Just wanted to say thanks to you and your staff for having the courage to run the recent article on the No-Kill Millennium, or the lack thereof [“What Happened to the No-Kill Millennium?,” News, Nov. 18].
And yes, the cover photos were graphic, but perhaps it's time people woke up and smelled the coffee, or rather woke up and saw the dead bodies.
Maybe they will get out of dreamland. We can just hope.
After working in a shelter for more than nine years (mostly clinic area and animal intake), I realized it is just a thankless job, and shelter workers are the true sin eaters of our society.
You are damned if you do and damned if you don't.
And every time someone told me that, "They couldn't do my job because they 'loved' animals too much," I just wanted to put my boot right up their ass!
Anyway, thanks again.
And the animals thank you, too.
