Wow, that was a fascinating rabbit hole

The police aren’t legally required to enforce the law

Not OP, but pharma companies have been moving towards special syringes that make the injection more patient friendly. It’s a device with a prefilled syringe where the syringe is hidden inside the device, you press it to the right part of the body, and it injects without you seeing the needle or controlling the depth. This is not specifically related to bc though- other injections

What was medical school like in the late 40's?

I don't like to kill healthy animals. No one in the vet or shelter profession does. But as long as there's a huge pet overpopulation problem, that's the way it's going to be. It's better that way, and it's better to adopt from a 'kill-shelter' because you save two lives that way. The animal you take home, and the animal who fills his cage when he's gone.

I strongly agree with everything you say, except for this line. I'm in Philly and I've volunteered with animal control (strays & owner surrenders), PSCPA (cruelty cases), and a big no-kill rescue. The no-kill rescue takes the animals almost entirely from the kill shelters, so it doesn't matter which place you adopt from. If you adopt from the no kill shelter, that opens a space to pull an animal from the kill shelter.
