FAILING SHELTERS WHO ADOPTED NATHAN WINOGRAD'S "NO KILL EQUATION"

The activists constantly are referring to the "success" stories of "No Kill". Are there any? No, not really. Of the 30 being reported, not exactly an overwhelming success story after all these years, none are actually open door. http://www.nokillnews.com/ When you use a waiting list or evaluations, you are no longer open door which is to take any and all at presentation. You can see that these self proclaimed open door shelters are indeed not open door. http://gretthevetretired.blogspot.com/ takes these claims and shows that open door is just a claim, it is not true.

Here are some of those listed on No Kill News (link above). Baton Rouge is a good one since No Kill News was bragging about it only five days before it was being investigated for cruelty.

Thanks to http://nokillexposed.wordpress.com/ for this list. The LA City fiasco is not listed. The current head of LA City animal control is a supreme follower of Nathan Winograd's NKE program. Under her euthanasia has risen, adoptions have fallen, and she has managed to give away a brand new shelter to a private rescue group whose base is a church that worships Satan.

The list needs to include San Francisco which Winograd claims as a bragging right too. http://www.northsidesf.com/sep09/features_coverstory.html

In 2008, the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County, in Tacoma, Washington, backed away from its no-kill commitment, acknowledging the difficulties encountered in trying to keep animals alive. In announcing their decision, the shelter president stated “that because we are an open shelter that will accept every animal that comes to us, regardless of its medical or behavior problems, true ‘no-kill’ status will never be a reality.” The shelter has now switched from no-kill to “Counting Down to Zero”, a coordinated effort to reduce euthanasia.
Forgotten Felines, a Canadian no-kill shelter for cats in Delta, British Columbia, was closed following an October 2008 investigation by the BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals which found 51 cats suffering fromstarvation, dehydration, infection, and illness. Five cats died because of illness, 36 were adopted and the remainder were euthanized. The former director was charged with animal cruelty.
In 2009, the Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada provincial government and the town of Stephenville began negotiations to close their no-kill animal shelter, claiming that upwards of 100 dogs and cats with diseases or behavioral problems were suffering severe neglect. Media quoted the town’s mayor as stating that animals cannot be humanely stored indefinitely. The animals in the shelter will be evaluated by veterinarians but will most likely be euthanized.
A no-kill policy led to a dispute between the Toronto Humane Society and the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 2009, with the OSPCA revoking the THS’ credentials for several months while it conducted an investigation. Several staff and officers with the THS were arrested, although all of the charges were eventually dropped.
THIS LIST IN NOT ALL INCLUSIVE, EVERY WEEK A "NO KILL" RESCUE/SHELTER IS BEING BUSTED FOR CRUELTY. REMEMBER PHILLY/PACCA WITH NATHAN WINOGRAD'S SELECT MANAGEMENT TEAM? THEY WERE ON THE VERGE OF CRUELTY CHARGES BEING FILED WHEN AN RFP WAS ISSUED ALMOST OVERNIGHT AND THE CONTRACT WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM WINOGRAD'S CHOSEN STAFF.

  1. The number of links on this post demonstrates just a small number of No-Kill failures that have occured across the Country. The City of Rancho Cucamonga and their animal services department is another example of a failure. The City of LA after spending more than $154 million on new animal shelters still has not achieved "No-Kill." The list seems endless. T

    1. I don't think Rancho is a no kill.They do great work getting animals adopted.

    2. Please understand that we cannot guarantee that your pet will find a new home, and we want you to be aware that your pet will be put to sleep if we cannot place them. Our goal is to build a community in which every adoptable pet finds a home, and we make every effort to place all pets; however there are circumstances, generally for reasons of temperament or physical condition, that this is not possible. For more information, please visit www.rcpets.info, call (909) 466-7387, or come to the Animal Center located at 11780 Arrow Route in Rancho Cucamonga (during business hours).

  2. The list seems endless and is constantly growing. And Winograd always claims they fail because they did not follow his program strictly. Even his own hand picked management staff obviously can't follow his program, look what happened in Philly. It's so hard to comprehend how his followers can see these failures and still drink his koolaid of lame excuses. I say they can't accept their own failing of falling for this deceitful movement of Winograd. Note that I am referring to a particular movement, not the hope of eliminating euthanasia in our shelters for time and space. There is a difference.

  3. Okay - got the list updated - AND alphabetized by state. I had to - the more I found, the more I knew I was going to have to start listing them by state.

    The updated list can be viewed at:

  4. And look what else I ran across - out of New Jersey but should serve as a warning to the numerous other NK agendists who think they can curse and threaten city/county officials via Facebook or other social media.

    http://www.scribd.com/doc/37261015/LHS-Harassment-Complaint-1

    I hope all of the NK troublemakers will read and take notice - - there are some city/county officials who will drag their behinds to court, sue and WIN for defamation, making threats, etc.

  5. And another court transcript - appears the NKers decided to try to sue the city for suing them. Good grief.

  6. NK filed against Richmond HS, Robin Starr. I have no use for her since she let her old dog die in her car but still.....

  7. I thought Berman sent them a legal letter demanding a retraction or removal of negative content about the HSSP -

    Didn't know about NK filing -

    I'm so happy these people are being exposed - finally. Hopefully, the true animal welfare community will be able to recover from this awful ordeal aka takeover attempt from breeders, attys and PR marketers.

  8. Berman and Winograd/NK are interchangeable. Berman's money, Berman's shrill, Berman's puppet.

  9. I wish they would stop referring to themselves as "animal rights activists" - or least the media does. Alot of the NKers (and NAIA) now refer to their groups as "animal welfare" orgs.

    lol You can call a dog's tail a leg all day - but at the end of the day, it's still a tail.

    My opinion, since they are soliciting money under the guise of being something they are not, it's fraud.
    Not to mention the general public and media are being duped into believing they are "animal welfare" groups when they are not.

Remember no accusations without proof. Rant if you will, it won't be published.
