I was wondering how UK treats its abandoned/homeless animals. In America we have 100s if not 1000s of independent animals shelters where the great majority of animals received are killed. But there is a movement to change this, what is know as NO KILL status where 90% or more of healthy animals are saved. There are more than 200 communities that have reached this magic plateau and a push for more. I live in Coastal East Florida in Brevard County where community rescue groups, activists, volunteers and animal friends are trying to move our county to NO KILL. Unfortunately we are meeting a lot of resistance both organization {animal services} and political {saving money more important than saving lives}. But there has been progress and one reason why is the sad story of Herbie the Cat who was an example of the inept and uncaring system that is in place at Brevard County Animal Services . I was the unfortunate person who experienced this tragic tale having attempted to adopt Herbie only to find out he was euthanized 2 1/2 hours before I could save him. This made it a personal issue for me and being a webmaster I created a website to help community rescue groups in their fight to save animals in our county. The website is Brevard County Advocacy for Animals .
