I do cat rescue in San Antonio, Texas. Our fair city was, at one time, the city with the HIGHEST kill rate in the nation. We started collectively working to make things better back in late 2004 after the newspaper ran an expose on what was going on at the local pound, and many people were outraged.

In ten years, I've seen some positive change, but certainly not enough. We're still working. Working hard. Things are better than they were ten years ago, but we're not there yet.

My personal opinion in that anything and everything that bring awareness and education to the plight of homeless animals is a GOOD thing. And I thank you for always sharing those types of stories.
