PETA releases statement on Kankakee Animal Control vote

“A community without a shelter is like a bicycle with only one wheel, and it would be turning its back on people's needs with respect to animal issues. PETA has seen firsthand how desperate people with nowhere to turn—or who have been turned away from private shelters—have cruelly killed unwanted animals or abandoned them to starve, be hit by cars, or die of disease. Every community needs an open-admission animal shelter—one that accepts all animals in need without fees or waiting lists and never turns them away for being too sick, injured, old, or aggressive to adopt out easily.”
