No Kill in Motion - The Words "Healthy" and "Treatable"

We use the words healthy and treatable when we define No Kill to mean that shelters do not kill healthy and treatable animals. But what do those words really mean? In this panel discussion we talk about the meaning of those words, the Asilomar Accords of 2004 and the Matrix published by the The No Kill Advocacy Center.

Participating in the discussion are Davyd Smith of No Kill Colorado, Alan Rosenberg of the NJ Animal Observer and Aubrie Kavanaugh of Paws4Change and No Kill Huntsville. The video runs approximately 12 minutes.
