In an article on Areo, Nathan J. Winograd reviews a book by Katja Guenther, The Lives and Deaths of Shelter Animals. Nathan refutes Katja's attempt to view the logistical and real-world challenges of managing the population of animals in shelters through the lens of critical race theory.
Like the attempt to declare the science of mathematics "racist," Nathan reports that Katja's conclusions appear to be drawn, in some cases, from her own generalizations about the differences of animal care performed by persons of different ethnicity or skin color.
Nathan recognizes that to implement Katja's race-based ideas would ultimately deprive animals of caring homes, and complicate the progress already made in rescuing animals and establishing successful no-kill shelters. His article is well-documented and well-written. Read the whole thing.
