Will No-Kill Breed Hoarding?

Dear Editor,
    Re: “Point Austin” [News, Sept. 17]: I am concerned about the way no-kill is being achieved at the Town Lake Animal Center. Every day, Craigslist is filled with ads claiming, “If you do not adopt this animal by 7pm, it will be killed.” I am not sure this is the right way to save more animals – are people adopting because they want lifelong companionship with an animal or to assuage their guilt? If it’s the former, great. But if it’s the latter, which I suspect it is, will the animal have a life worth living, and will the person that adopts them stop at just one if it’s their guilt leading them? I am afraid we are setting up an environment ripe for animal hoarding, which is a fate far worse than humane euthanasia.
