During the past decade, 85% of all cats brought into the Prince George's County Animal Services Facility (ASF) have been killed. Some of them have been young and could have benefited from a bit of help from a surrogate mom. A few have been mature and would have been perfectly happy to live out their lives sharing a couch, watching Animal Planet, at the side of a loving person. The vast majority of those killed have been healthy and adoptable.
During the single month of June 2011, 970 animals were killed at the ASF. Only 40 of these were documented as requiring euthanasia by a veterinarian.
More than three times as many, 126 of them, were baby kittens.
What does it mean to be a baby kitten at the Prince George's County ASF? Here is a description of what happens, as previously published in the Austin Statesman:
