I think that AHS is just is taking the easy way out by euthanising animals,because they would rather not bother with the time and trouble of going the extra mile, by implementing and working with new procedures to change their system to a no-kill, shelter, there is no reason, with the resources available through donations, fundraising events and such that the AHS needs to euthanise that many animals, their are plenty of other shelters, which I Know of that are no-kill, if they would put and effort into bucking their system for change they might might become more animal friendly and no kill, I have a dot and 3 cats, and when I find animals that are in need of a home, I do take them in, or try to find somewhere for them, sincerly DJ ruse
