I worked at an animal shelter x 20 years. FYI Humane societies depend on the continual walk ins, drop offs, volunteers and bleeding heart stories to perpetuate $$$$. In the 70s there was a movement for the Big $$ Ones like MSPCA, ASAPCA, HSUS, etc to mandate breeding only with a license. Fees for the licenses would pay for the kill. Cities and counties pay for the slaughter at tax payers expense while the breeders keep the supply going. The "Inhumane Societies" were against it cause they depend on the walk through and surrenders to make $$$$. There is no such thing as a major no kill. The "No Kills" follow the original San Fran guidelines which has multiple kill reasons. In other words, Humane Societies, Animal Control, Animal Services etc are basically slaughterhouses. The increase slaughter began after WW II when the AKC (American Killing Club) began pushing registrations. The AKC is a $$$ making organization. The more registered, the more $$$ is makes. They do not police AKC members unless its a news story.
