I understand. I'm living in Germany, so our laws also probably differ as well - but is there a law which permits that if a dog e.g. doesn't get adopted within a year, it may be euthasized? I thought that a "no killing" law is absolute and that an animal in a shelter never is allowed to be killed, no matter the circumstance.
No kill at least in Australia means you can't put animals to sleep due to over capacity, time frame etc. The only time they can be put down is when they've attacked or are showing high signs of aggression and the behaviour assessor finds they aren't suitable for readoption.
At that point, it becomes a duty of care to put the animal down as it's cruel to keep it in a kennel for the rest of its life and it can't be trusted as a family pet.
I understand. I think you raise an interesting thought... I get where the law is coming from, but it also makes sense that the way it is treated now makes it so that dogs who would live their entire life in captivity only suffer more.
Thank you for your insight - I appreciate it and will think about it.
