Spouse's Letter

Growing up I got a kitten for my eighth birthday from my parents and instantly fell in love, right when my parents walked in the door with the kitten. I raised this kitten like it was my baby and I took care of it from day one. As my 18th birthday approached my cat was ten years old and I was going off to college, we realized my cat had a kidney infection and needed to be put down. It was the hardest day of my life because I had taken care of my cat and I was sad to see her go.
As the spouse of Olivia Roman I have volunteered in animals shelters and have watched traumatic scenes of animals killed day by day. Animals lives matter too and these animals do not have a voice, so I will be their voice. These animals do not stand a chance when a once loved dog or cat is now unloved, thrown in a cage, and forgotten. The time that these animals will spend in shelters before being euthanized depends on the type of shelter these animals are in, and where the shelter is located and the condition or behavioral state the animal is in.
In San Antonio, Texas is striving to be a “no-kill” city resulting in 16,000 dogs and 12,000 cats are scraped off streets and properties in one year. It is also common for shelters that have these high “save rates” to have a sky-high rate of unassisted deaths in cages and kennels from illness or injuries. Animals are cast out and are forced to keep reproducing. To increase “save rates”, some shelters promote animal abandonment. Good samaritans want to leave homeless animals on the street, rather than taking them to a shelter. Not only are there kittens subjected to infection, disease, starvation, and being hit by cars, attacked by wildlife, and abused by cruel people, and the kittens that survive are used for reproducing and resulting in more homeless animals.
Overall, I am working on partnering with the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Together myself and the company will be their voice and continue to eliminate no kill shelters and give these animals a chance. I have been working with Henry Bergh and his motto is “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States,” and I agree with this motto and will do my best to work with them to help all animals in the world.

Spouse's Radio Interview
Interviewer: Welcome back to Colorado’s Voices Radio Station, thanks for tuning in. Today we are talking Presidents, specifically laws they are trying to set, and we finally got in touch with a very special guest, the one and only, Natalie Townsend. Can you introduce yourself to the audience?
Spouse: Hi, my name is Natalie Townsend, and I am the Presidential Spouse of the Prestigious Eagles.
Interviewer: What is your proposal?
Spouse: My proposal is to eliminate kill shelters in the world, animals everyday are being murdered and found on the streets. About 16,000 dogs and 12,000 cats are being killed everyday, and I just want to find shelters that I can completely eliminate and not have as an option.
Interviewer: How did you come up with the idea with eliminating kill shelters?
Spouse: Well my team and I, the Prestigious Eagles, have all, we loved animals and we all decided, well that is the perfect one for us. So, I have been volunteering at shelters for about two years now, and I have gotten really close with animals and I see what they go through everyday, and it is just so depressing.
Interviewer: Do you know how this proposal will be beneficial to our society?
Spouse: Well, it stop to eliminate all these animals that are once being loved and then turning into an unloved dog or cat, and it is just really sad to see someone do that, just to be like, “oh, I’ve had this dog for two years, then you’re like I don’t want it anymore,” it’s like come on you can’t do that. Your dog is family at that point and you gotta keep it close, and don’t take them to a shelter cause they say, “oh, you have about thirty days till your dog is killed,” and it ends up happening and taking a life.
Interviewer: Sad. Do you have any specific ideas and plans on how you and your team would come up with to eliminate the kill shelters?
