No, absolutely not. Most of the people on this reddit are probably DC transients. And I say this as someone who has lived here for 20 years and isn't native but is less transient than most of the people on this reddit.

Thank you! "No kill" can mean warehousing unadoptable dogs for years instead of giving them a good last day and a humane death. Warehousing is torture and cruelty. It can also mean knowingly adopting out dogs with massive behavioral issues that should not be adopted and then just praying that a tragedy doesn't strike. Responsible animal stewardship involves proper care from birth to death.
