Houston, We Have a Problem

By Nathan J. Winograd | January 28, 2009February 5, 2009 by Nathan J. Winograd

A recent article by reporter Craig Malisow in Houston takes on the quality of care and level of killing in the City animal control shelter. Although the article is critical of the agency, it also includes some unfortunate characterizations about my career as a lawyer, my experience in sheltering, and the success of Tompkins County which are factually wrong. So that they are not repeated in an effort to undermine No Kill in Houston or elsewhere, I want to clarify the inaccuracies.

They Did It Overnight

By Nathan J. Winograd | January 27, 2009January 27, 2009 by Nathan J. Winograd

The municipal shelter in Porter County Indiana used to kill roughly 115 dogs and cats per month, young and old, healthy and sick, friendly and aggressive. There were even allegations of cruelty. After firing the long term director and staff, they now kill about 7 hopelessly ill animals or aggressive dogs a month. They did it overnight.

A Smear Campaign

By Nathan J. Winograd | January 15, 2009January 15, 2009 by Nathan J. Winograd

Before Redemption was released, I realized that the book would result in attempts to assassinate my character. This week I spent 90 minutes on the telephone with a reporter from Houston who asked me a lot of questions around my integrity and character. The line of questioning was based on the rumor and innuendo of No Kill detractors like Pat Dunaway in order to undermine my efforts and maintain a policy of killing in our shelters.

Who is Pat Dunaway?

By Nathan J. Winograd | January 15, 2009January 15, 2009 by Nathan J. Winograd

During a visit to Austin, a reporter lashed out at me for questioning the city’s effort and those of the shelter and posed questions of an inflammatory and defamatory nature. No effort was made to simply report the news; investigate fairly; or pretend to be professional and lack bias. Given our national politics of the last decade, and universal condemnation of the media’s failure to hold government agencies accountable, this outcome is distressing and disturbing,…

There Ought to Be a Law

By Nathan J. Winograd | January 11, 2009January 12, 2009 by Nathan J. Winograd

As a movement, we have been willing to pass all kinds of laws such as mandatory spay/neuter to empower animal control by regulating the public’s behavior. Now that we know that laws of these kind exacerbate killing, and now that we know what is really causing the killing—shelter policies geared to killing—we need to pass laws that do the reverse: that empower community groups (volunteers, foster parents, rescue groups, feral cat caretakers, adopters, taxpayers) by regulating how animal control operates.
