According to the Kamloops executive director, "When cats are brought into the shelter, they are kept for five calendar days to give the owner a chance to claim them before being eligible for adoption."
But what about all the terrified feral cats, having been trapped and brought in? Are they all killed after five agonizing days of confinement in the cages of the shelter, because it's humane(quick and painless) and not prohibited by its policy?
If that is the case, the organization which allows such kind of practice should never be called 'animal welfare organization'. It is better described as 'animal disposal organization'.
Because if you love the animals, if you care, you can never put into its healthy body a fatal injection. You'd be frantic to find other solutions, you'd try to let it live at any cost.
