For some non-profits, the stakes in which they engage are so high, that their advocacy—when ill informed, antiquated and regressive—can have harmful, even deadly results. They, therefore, have a greater responsibility to stay informed and on top of the field they work in. They need to be held to a higher standard. This is why the recent recommendation by the American Humane Association (AHA) that Washoe County (NV) implement cat licensing is so downright obscene.

Michael Vick’s new spokesman says ‘You are a monster too!’

By Nathan J. Winograd | October 17, 2009October 17, 2009 by Nathan J. Winograd

Wayne Pacelle, the CEO of the Humane Society of the United States and spokesman for the most notorious animal abuser of our time, is digging himself into a deeper hole. The head of the nation’s wealthiest animal “protection” group is now arguing in newspapers across the country, including San Francisco’s, that we should forgive Michael Vick because we are all “sinners when it comes to animals.” Is Pacelle really that desperate that he now says we are all monsters like Vick?

The Race is On

By Nathan J. Winograd | October 14, 2009October 16, 2009 by Nathan J. Winograd

After one of my presentations at a national conference in Australia, the head of one of New Zealand’s largest shelters offered a challenge: New Zealand will be the first No Kill nation. The Australian delegation accepted the challenge. I accepted it on behalf of the United States. The race is on.

Getting records and statistics from public entities is supposed to be easy – we are a nation that prides itself on open government. We are a democracy, and – in theory at least – the people are the government, and have a right of access to all public records. In practice, it’s a little different.

Revisiting the No Kill Equation

By Nathan J. Winograd | August 24, 2009 by Nathan J. Winograd

Two decades ago, the concept of a No Kill community was little more than a dream. Today, it is a reality in many cities and counties nationwide and the numbers continue to grow. And the first step is a decision, a commitment to reject kill-oriented ways of doing business. No Kill starts as an act of will.
