There are kill shelters because shelters that never kill won’t take or pass on to kill shelters the dogs with broken legs that’ll live in pain, the dogs with health issues nobody wants to pay to treat, the dogs that have been mistreated to the point of fearful aggression, the dogs that are aesthetically undesirable, the old dogs etc
Nobody working in a rescue wakes up and says “gee golly! I sure am looking forward to killing a dog today”
Hell I have a rescued greyhound next to me right now, and no matter how many I adopted there would still be mass graves of them because they only race fast when young.
