Florida Animal Rescue Act, the 2nd half
This is, in my opinion, even more important. This would keep all shelters and rescues from over-zealous staff who may feel no one is good enough to adopt their dogs. It would require them to report their numbers. Wow, sunshine! Many private shelters are not required to report their numbers so can hide behind the no-kill philosophy all the while fudging the numbers by killing less desirable animals. I know this happens. I have seen it with my own eyes. Then if anything is said, you will lose your job. I WANT my shelters to be transparent. I want to know who is being good and who is slacking. Please contact your representative and ask them to support the Florida Animal Rescue Act.
