 Kill the Haitians! - Editorials - The Armchair Empire
What’s so ironically laughable is that the organizations and politicos pummeling GTA: Vice City with clearly unconstitutional attempts of censorship have probably never even spent two minutes playing the game to make a judgment on the severity and harmful intent of the supposedly racist phrase at the heart of the matter.
Yeah, you can technically kill anybody in Vice City in all sorts of ways (particularly with vehicular mayhem), but resorting to bloodshed in the game increases the risk that the police will start paying attention to your actions and take you down.
Yes, that’s right: The everyday gamer is a voting-age adult, which means that these politicians are not protecting the children of their constituency as they incorrectly believe, but instead are trying to restrain the rights and desires of adult gamers to play games with even a hint of gore and violence.

 "LA Can Be a No-Kill City" - (LA Times, Ed Boks) -News
A generation of skeptics, accustomed to a system that for decades has killed more than 50,000 homeless animals a year, would say no. But the Department of Animal Services, backed by the mayor and the City Council, is intent on making humane history.
Killing strays may be the quick and, at least from afar, easy thing to do.
A third of the animals killed are orphaned, neonate puppies and kittens from parents that humans neglected to spay or neuter.

The new bloodshed came a day after 48 people were killed in a particularly violent day in Iraq — including more than 30 in four suicide bombings — raising to at least 825 the number of people slain since the new Shiite-led government was announced April 28.
Two Iraqi civilians, including a child, were killed early Friday when their car swerved into a U.S. Bradley fighting vehicle near Khalis, 50 miles north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

 UGO.com Film/TV - Sin City: The Big Fat Kill - Sin City Super-Feature
While the original Sin City was by no means bereft of action, it did tend to strike a fairly moody, introspective tone at times, with whole sequences devoted solely to Marv questioning his own sanity and mulling over the justification for his killing spree.
As the result of a truce between the citizens of Old Town and the police in Sin City proper, the working girls are effectively the only law recognized in Old Town, with every hooker in town packing heat and ready to defend themselves and their turf from unruly customers and would-be mobsters alike.
What entails afterwards is a sometimes gritty, sometimes comedic, but always hard-boiled caper through the streets of Sin City as Dwight first fights to dispose of the bodies of Jack and his friends, then engages in an ongoing struggle for possession of Big Jack's severed head.

 Maddie's Fund - No-Kill Movement
Once it became clear that the City was seriously committed to this and that the leading shelters and rescue groups were on board, it was clear that the Animal Law Committee's work was done and the Mayor's Alliance for NYC Animals was just beginning.
As part of the MOU, the City committed to providing non-financial resources such as access to parks, parking permits for adoption vans and ads in subways, trains and buses to the Mayor's Alliance to help its member organizations increase the adoption of cats and dogs.
As with the City, the fact that the New York City Bar Association was behind the Mayor's Alliance provided a great deal of immediate credibility – probably more than if any one animal organization tried to do this.

 Courts Kill Atlantic City Needle Exchange Program - 8/18/05 - S. Adubato
Even though the unanimous court decision in no way questioned the motives or intent of the Atlantic City initiative, the judges agreed that state law on drug paraphernalia had to be changed in order to allow for needle exchange programs to be made legal.
Their conclusion is that the Atlantic City ordinance may in fact save lives, but can’t be enforced because the state legislature refuses to save the lives of these same drug addicts and their innocent children who needlessly contract HIV and AIDS.
In the Atlantic City Press, Atlantic City Health and Human Services Director Ron Cash argued that, “Needle exchange is one of the most effective tools that science says we have against AIDS.

 Sin City: The Big Fat Kill - Frank Miller - Graphic novel review
The third book in Frank Miller's Sin City series features another of the stories (alongside The Hard Goodbye and That Yellow Bastard) that are recreated in the feature film version, adapted by Robert Rodriguez and Miller himself.
It's also more straight-forward than the roller-coaster ride that is A Dame to Kill For - perhaps an indication of how the film-makers came to the decision to include three stories in the movie but miss the second volume out.
Although not the best book in the series, this tale from Sin City is more of the same for fans of Miller and his unique series of graphic novels.

But last year just as many dogs and cats were euthanized here, as there were killed in 1999.
So a private group of animal lovers, the Central Texas Animal Alliance, offered to pay $20,000 of their own money, to hire a "no kill" consultant; but only if the city and the shelter will consider this sometimes unorthodox means to save animals.
