Killing rabbits seems not to count as killing

Tanya Firmage is quoted as saying that the Surrey shelter adheres to a no-kill policy but I have serious doubts as to the accuracy of that statement. Are there any statistics with respect to rabbits? My information and long time involvement in rabbit rescue certainly indicates that rabbits and other small critters at that branch have been destroyed both before and since the policy came into effect, and that they continue to be at risk of euthanasia because of lack of space. In fact, I have one of seven that had recently been slated to be put down and just last week another rescue group was contacted as to whether they had space for yet more rabbits. The pattern of killing adoptable and homeless rabbits or unloading them onto others is a well established one but perhaps it's one that is also about to change. We'll wait and see.
