I have had numerous arguments about the mathematical impossibility of "no kill" being a current realistic option for animal shelters. With that said I try to always err on the support and advocacy of animals.

I just find that when I have discussions with people who swear "no kill" is a viable opinion I feel like slamming my head into my desk. The last time I pointed out the statistic that 5 million animals enter shelters annually and 3.5 million are sadly euthanized to someone I was told to just lie versus point out the truth. I can't lie. No good comes from that.

How would you answer someone who states that "no kill" is a current viable option when it would be mathematically impossible to house 5 million animals annually?

I use the following sources for my numbers. Tell me if there is a more reliable place to get the numbers.

edit: I missed a word

I was looking at the HSUS website and saw the HSUS University.

What kind of jobs would a graduate from HSUS U be prepped for? Does the University help place graduates.

Thank you for the follow up.
