A friend recently posted a photo of Enzo, after it was revealed that he was killed due to a “behavioral mark,” with the caption: “So much for No Kill December.” Yeah, that about sums things up.

I’d like to add: Why in the heck is there even a thing called “No Kill December”? What’s the need of there being a specialized month meant to signify what NKLA’s already been giving the public the impression that they’re not doing all 12 months out of the year? And then during this 1 specialized month that they’ve set aside to not kill they still end up killing dogs? Reveals a lot. So for real, is this a genuine No Kill sheltering system or an advertising campaign cloaked over a killing system that goes 7 city shelters deep?

Lastly, a “behavioral mark” for Enzo? By whom? There’s people that actually met him that would dispute this categorization… NKLA’s own side page, set up specifically for the December campaign, claims: “This can be the first month that no healthy and treatable animals are killed in our city shelters.” Well, apparently it can’t, because Enzo was both healthy and treatable. Oh, but he isn’t going to “officially” count, due to someone putting the equivalent of a chalkboard check mark by their students name. Dubious. I realize that what’s commonly known as a true No Kill shelter (No Kill Advocacy Center) may occasionally have to kill an extremely aggressive or an extremely sick dog. Enzo was neither. Leaves me to wonder how many other L.A. City dogs went the way that he did during this month of December?
