The Companion Animal Protection Act

Too many shelters are not voluntarily implementing our programs. As a result, animals are being needlessly killed. In response, the No Kill Advocacy Center has developed model legislation to help animal lovers and animal advocates achieve their goal of No Kill communities: The Companion Animal Protection Act.

 

This law:

  • mandates the programs and services which have proven so successful at lifesaving in shelters which have implemented them;
  • follows the only model that has actually created a No Kill community; and,
  • focuses its effort on the very shelters that are doing the killing.

As a result, it provides a framework for success unavailable from traditional legislative models such as punitive legislation aimed at the public or through counterproductive national efforts that legitimize the killing.
