Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 NEW! The Nathan Winograd Interview - Protecting No-Kill Shelters He's vegan. His attitude is enlightened and revolutionary towards pound animals. His successes to date have been remarkable. Nathan Winograd is the guru of no-kill sheltering in the world today. He once said, " Once a fringe movement dismissed by the status quo, the no-kill movement is now only the legitimate standard for animal sheltering " . No Kill is also the only legitimate standard for the animal rights movement to embrace as well. If the AR Movement refuses to embrace No-Kill options for all animals then not only will it have a credibility problem on its hands but also, if neglected, this one thing alone will plant the seed for the destruction of the continuance of the animal rights movement. Here he speaks with the Abolitionist. READ IT AT: www.abolitionist-online.com Here's a taste of what's in store: " I am an ethical vegan and I don't think that's necessary to be a shelter director but you really want people who love animals and who hurt by the killing and if you hurt by the killing you will stop at nothing to save lives. " " I don't think most people know about PETA's position. I have a copy of a postcard Ingrid sent me back in 1992/3 where she says she does not believe in 'a right for life' for feral cats and she does have a policy against No-Kill shelters and there's the whole thing about the pitbulls. " " Her position is these animals should be dead even in the face of life saving alternatives. Because of that, PETA have stopped making sense to us as vegans, as animal rights people, as animal lovers and we have chosen to focus on other groups that have a more enlightened stance when it comes to cats and dogs. " " {PETA} have a policy against No-Kill shelters and, my best guess is, that their founder Ingrid Newkirk rose from the ranks of animal control at the Washington Humane Society and actually spent a good part of her career killing animals instead of protecting them. " " As early as the mid- 1970's the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and all those large groups were opposing the very types of efforts that made San Francisco so incredibly successful. In fact right after San Francisco did achieve success the HSUS started vilification campaigns against no-kill. I believe there's a body count attached to their anti no-kill rhetoric and positions. " Also the Corrine Daws Interview: Making Sydney No-Kill " In the last 10 years at my No-Kill Pound I have not once looked at a dog and thought, " You are a horrible dog. You don't deserve a home. You deserve to die " " . www.abolitionist-online.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
