FOCUS ON WHAT'S IMPORTANT
What is important? Supporting existing No Kill communities, working to create more; of course. Rescuing animals in danger of being killed in shelters, fostering, donating, sharing pleas; absolutely.
But what about engaging in battles with the opponents? The ones who claim that No Kill can't happen, and deny that there are communities with open admission shelters who are saving 90% or more of the animals entering the shelters? The ones who repeat the lies about supporters of No Kill-we support puppy mills, we are in bed with Berman and the CCF, we oppose spay/neuter? I'm often tempted to ignore the lies and name calling, because I think that very few people read the crap that they post all over the internet. Then I think that there might be one person who could read these lies, and be swayed by them, and join the few voices who claim that killing shelter animals is good and necessary. So for me fighting the forces of evil like peta, and "Harve" and Randykins is also important. I might be able to save one person from joining the dark side.
