A woman who founded a "no-kill" animal shelter was charged with health code and animal welfare violations after 200 dead cats were discovered rotting in garbage bags in her backyard.

Doesn't look like a "no-kill" shelter to me....

If they starved to death,
then she technically didn't
really "kill" the cats . . .

In fact, "no kill" shelters get feral or old house cats, many of them diseased. They are segregated, evaluated and dealt with in whatever manner necessary; none are put down, all eventually see a vet (paid through Strays In Need}. Usually the healthy young ones are put out by their original owners and retrieved years later in traps as aging feral. I have trapped cats for years with my mother.

I have seen this my whole life, every year I bury several kittens, several old feral that just die, and several extremely old house cats that are put down as a last resort (when their kidneys fail usu.). It is a sad business, and I can see how this woman in such a congested urban area ended up in this situation.

There is no excuse for hundreds of dead anything in any residential area, regardless of the motivation or intention behind the fact.
