All us who have devoted our lives to animals are devastated by the fact that so many animals without homes are killed in shelters. We want to take them all into our homes to save them but that, of course, is not possible. Nathan Winograd is one of us and he has spent his life in working out the best ways to deal with this dilemma. He knows what will work to turn this country into a No Kill nation and he has a proven track record of doing just that. There is no pet "over-population" problem but there is a pet relinquishment problem and Winograd has very practical and extremely effective solutions to deal with it. His goals are definitely achievable.
Unfortunately, we have a heated cultural war going on with short-sighted "animal rights" adherents attacking all breeders, accusing us of being the source of the problem and proposing counter-productive legislation. For the last three years, I have spent all of my free time in fighting off proposed mandatory neutering legislation (MSN) in California. The person spear-heading these laws got a similar law passed in Los Angeles which has resulted in a skyrocketing number of animals being killed in shelters there. Everywhere MSN laws have passed has resulted in more animals being abandoned to a horrible death in shelters. Winograd knows that the MSN tactic is counter-productive and offers MUCH better solutions. Read this book if you want to know how we can save all those unfortunate shelter animals!
And yes, for the record, I am an "evil breeder". I have devoted 40 years to preserving an ancient rare breed and I will NOT make any apologies for that. I also have rescued many, many, many homeless animals and found them "forever homes". I could rescue even more if I didn't have to spend so much of my time fighting legislation proposed by people who should read Winograd's book and change their tactics to ones which will really work to save animals.
Thank you, Nathan, for your wonderful book.

Very enlightening
By bonita neubauer on January 16, 2019
I wasn't surprised that the places we entrust the lives of dogs and cats would turn it into an enterprise that is all about the MONEY. I always felt that they did and said what they thought we needed to hear. I know the movement to make the country "no kill" is a uphill battle but everyone needs to band together to achieve this goal. If you love dogs and cats you need to read this book before you make a contribution to an enterprise that claims to save lives. Do your research.
