The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care & Control is giving rescuers only two hours to commit to rescuing orphaned neonatal kittens before putting the kittens to death. See infographic below for full statement from Nathan Winograd. Sadly, despite some good research I can’t find more and I can’t subscribe to Winograd’s website posts as I already subscribe to too many websites and services. I have to stop somewhere. But the information seems to be important and needs to be passed on.
Until September 7th I will give 10 cents to an animal charity for every comment. It is a way to help animal welfare without much effort at no cost. Comments help this website too, which is about animal welfare.

LA gets paid by the pound by a rendering plant for all the dogs and cats they kill. A search of the internet you will see pictures of 55 gallon drums full to the brim of dead pets waiting to be picked up and turned to soap. They used to use the fallow for dog and cat food but the euthanasia drugs was in the food and was killing peoples pets!
Thanks Tamara for adding to this. Years I wrote about the use of euthanised rescue cats and dogs being rendered down for commercial use which undermines the attitude that they are to be saved. No one wrote about it. It is was a not to be mentioned topic at the time.
Rendering down human bodies for fertiliser ain’t good for cat welfare
