Convenience killing is the killing of animals to create space, save money, avoid working with rescue groups, avoid the effort of treatment and behavioural work for animal shelters and pounds.
The key areas we see this issue can be improved is by mandatory reporting of euthanasia statistics and mandatory rescue group access to animals facing euthanasia. Transparent euthanasia reporting and rescue-group access laws has proven benefits to employee mental health, public health and safety, as well as a reduction of costs and increased revenue to shelters and pounds through adoption fees.
