Ten Reasons Why We All Love Black Cats
August 14, 2017
“We had to come to the realization that just because you work at an animal shelter doesn’t mean you are passionate about cats and saving their lives.”
In Part 2 of this two-part episode, Nathan describes the current animal welfare legislation he is working on—namely the Companion Animal Protection Act (CAPA) and how it has been implemented, in whole or in part, in various cities and counties across the U.S. He also revisits some of his tougher experiences pushing legislation in more regressive areas and shelters, and warns against the naïveté inherent in the belief that all animal shelters or humane societies are truly interested in saving animals. CAPA seeks to make that ideal a reality by transforming shelters into “temporary waystations to a better life” for cats, not euthanasia sites.
