Animal Care Services (ACS) in San Antonio is facing sharp scrutiny as local advocacy group No Kill SA calls for reforms, spotlighting the steep rise in euthanasia rates within the city’s animal shelter system. Holding a downtown vigil, the group paid tribute to the over 5,000 pets they claim were euthanized by ACS in 2023, though ACS reports the number closer to 4,800. No Kill SA’s director, Lea LaPort, urged the agency to “just making sure that when they’re in there in the care of the shelter that they are getting homes by either adoption foster or rescue,” as captured by Fox San Antonio.
