What Elephant?
HSUS publishes a “shelter advocate toolkit” that ignores progress, offers platitudes, and attempts to set the clock back while promising progress.

Amy Paulin is willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of animals every year to get it.
Amy Paulin amends the “Quick Kill” bill to remove “psychological pain” provision, but the fight for the safety of New York animals is far from over.
Now is your chance to take your concerns directly to these champions of shelter killing and to educate the editorial board about how dangerous and deadly their legislation is.
Amy Paulin, Nancy Perry, & The ASPCA’s Effort to Turn Back the Clock on Animal Protection in NYS by 40 Years.
An ASPCA sponsored quick kill bill in NYS eliminates the holding period for scared cats, feral cats, shy dogs, and traumatized animals by granting shelters the legal authority to kill animals for being in “psychological pain” immediately on intake. They could be killed within a minute of arrival. With this bill, the ASPCA is trying to not only stop rescue access, but to erode what few protections animals in shelters already have.
What does hoarding have to do with rescue access laws and the No Kill movement? The answer is, not much.
It was a beautiful sight, the united chorus of hundreds of animal lovers speaking truth to power. I was witnessing the No Kill movement all grown up.
Florida animal lovers: NOW is the time to make your voices heard. Please contact your legislative representatives and ask them to cosponsor and support Senate Bill 818/House Bill 597, the Florida Animal Rescue Act.
Only when shelters stop neglecting, abusing, and killing animals in their care will we will have something to truly appreciate and celebrate.
