Poor conditions in city shelter as documented by Forrest City Area Humane Society 2009.
You can make a difference. Through adoption, fostering, volunteering, donations (whether it be money or something you don’t need anymore that the animals will benefit from), and even just educating people about responsible pet ownership and the pet overpopulation crisis, you can help these animals. The animal shelters are not the bad guys. They are just doing what they can. Not having animal shelters would not keep animals from dying– it would just keep them from dying humanely.

A video about Memphis Animal Shelters transformation. It gives the stunning kill rate and shows the abuse of animals. I made this video simply to hit a nerve. I want people to react to this and recognize that they can make a difference, if they just speak up. 77% is not acceptable. Follow our efforts on Twitter WheresYourLine Video Rating: 4 / 5
In the United States alone, an estimated 6-8 million beautiful animals are placed in animal shelters each years. From that number an estimated 3-4 million animals make it out alive. The rest are euthanized. In the United States and many other areas across the world, we are being faces with massive pet overpopulation. Ignorant and irresponsible owners are not spaying and neutering their animals, and are letting their pets have puppies or kittens. Many times it is because parents want their children to experience the birth of animals. It can feel like a beautiful experience to see a new mother cat gently licking her newborn kittens. The sad thing is, this can actually send a bad image to children. After all, I´ve never seen a case in which these newborn kittens or puppies stay with the family for long. They are all sold or given away. Does this send a good image? No, it tells children that animals are to be used by people and that they can be given away or sold for profit. Think about this: every single kitten or puppy that your pet has, another beautiful life will be euthanized at a shelter. When a breeder or regular person with an intact animal sells the kittens and puppies, they are taking away a home that an animal at an animal shelter may have taken. This is the sad reality of the present world. By creating life, you are also destroying life in the process. What is sickening is when animal shelters are blamed for the problem. No, they are not at fault. The kill … Video Rating: 4 / 5
this is a walk through Memphis Animal Services on 3-1-10. our “shelter” has been in nationwide headlines for some despicable things recently. without discussing politics, i want to say that this video is strictly about the dogs and how heartbreaking it is that they ended up here although they’ve done nothing to deserve it… the shelters are also bursting at the seams with cats too, who also represent millions of precious lives lost each year just because people chose not to care for them properly, or at all. i would also like to mention that there are volunteers and others working hard to make it a better place. it’s the irresponsibility of the public that make places like this necessary, but these poor animals deserve so much better… please watch this video and see how many precious dogs there are in a shelter on any given day that will die simply because they are homeless. i’ve been told that 75 is the average number of dogs killed daily at MAS alone. then consider adoption, spaying & neutering, and telling your friends not to shop, ADOPT! be an advocate, educate, volunteer, foster, rescue, help save a life any way you can. thank you. eric hart the Gage Foundation for Animals Video Rating: 4 / 5
My friends at the Washington Animal Rescue League, an innnovative shelter, have allowed me to upload their official video. I hope you’ll take a look and see how animal care should be done, as described by then Executive Director Scotlund Haisley. I also hope you might subscribe to my channel. At the end of the month, on the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I have something special in the works.
