The effort resulted in the first media article addressing the No Kill philosophy and spurred the Animal Welfare League of Queensland, an open admission animal control shelter, to embrace the programs and services of the No Kill Equation. All told, 800 copies of the book were distributed throughout the Australian continent.* On September 30 – October 2, 2009, we participated in a national conference on the Gold Coast of Australia. Bringing together shelter directors, government officials, rescue groups and animal lovers from all over Australia and New Zealand, the No Kill Advocacy Center presented four workshop: Building a No Kill Australia, The No Kill Matrix: What is a Savable Animal?, Developing Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) in the Australian Context, and Reforming Animal Control/Management: A Discussion for CEOs, Managers and Leaders of Pounds & Shelters.* The end result: the head of one of New Zealand’s largest shelters offered a challenge at the conference: New Zealand will be the first No Kill nation. The Australian delegation accepted the challenge. We accepted it for the United States. The race is on.
