About the Indy No-Kill Initiative

The Indy No-Kill initiative seeks to implement proven techniques to Indianapolis to reform the animal welfare community to a philosophy where killing sheltered animals is not the automatic solution to every problem, but only a last resort and used on a small percentage of animals. While to many this may seem an impractical solution to the animal issues faced in our community, it has been proven to be not only practical, but cost effective. It's also a wonderful rallying point for a community that wants to prove itself a sophisticated, world-class city.

The methods for accomplishing this have been pioneered and documented by Nathan Winograd. Although many --even within animal welfare-- are somewhat skeptical of his uncompromising vision, he has proven successful in a variety of locales, large and small.

We believe that Indianapolis needs to follow Nathan's example and use his expertise, as documented on his web site, and specifically documented in his No Kill Equation.
