Animal Shelters: Hope for the Homeless
Some animal shelters are wonderful places; others are hideous
dumps. Their treatment of animals, purposes, and capacities vary
greatly. They may be run by the government, local humane societies, or
private individuals. Some are funded by donations alone, while others
receive tax support. Sometimes tax money comes with a stipulation that
some animals must be turned over to experimenters. Every effort should
be made to eliminate this policy, which is known as "pound
seizure." (See the "Pound Seizure"
factsheet
for more information.)
