Abstract:
Three large no-kill animal shelters in the state and the NC Department of Agriculture’s Animal Welfare Division are involved in legal and policy disputes over the treatment of unwanted animals. The Haven, Tri-County Animal Rescue, and All Creatures Great and Small have been accused of providing substandard and horrific living conditions for their animals. These complaints come from many, including animal rights groups. The members of the no-kill movement talk about why people dislike their practices and the good they do for the animals.
