The Humane Society of Westchester's "No-Kill" policy: The movement is recognized as a measure of effectiveness in this larger context and not only at an individual organization level. “No Kill” is increasingly a term applied to communities and cities. A responsible "No-Kill" organization will euthanize an animal with an untreatable disease, who has lost the quality of life, or a dangerous dog who has significant potential to injure the public or another animal. Today, "No-Kill" means the elimination of euthanasia for healthy, adoptable dogs and cats. It was not meant to condone warehousing of animals or to be taken literally. A decade ago, the term was coined as a slogan to represent an improved way of sheltering animals and a community approach to helping them. “ Mew to You Kitteh’s” by Kevin Jarrett is licensed under CC BY 2.0."No-Kill" is a term that defines a movement, a goal, rather than being an absolute.
