Interview with US Marine Mitch Schneider, Animal Guy

While attending the No Kill Workshop presented by Animal Ark in Minneapolis, WNY Politics got a chance to interview US Marine, Mitch Schneider, who appears in the new documentary movie, Redemption, The No Kill Revolution in America.   (For the uninitiated, there is no such thing as an ex-Marine.   It is a perpetual sentence, and once you are a Marine, you are still a Marine, even if you die.)    Mitch claims he scored a zero (0) on the Myers-Briggs Thinking/Feeling indicator and thus has no feelings, but prefers to act solely on the basis of logic.    He is so uncaring that he says he it doesn't even bother him that he has no feelings.    A business major in college, Mitch took the Washoe County (Reno, Nevada) animal shelter No Kill, even though he didn't think it was possible.    This was no mean feat, as Reno was devastated by the Great Recession and is beset with abandoned animals and homes and a staggering unemployment rate.    At the onset of this venture, he was heard to remark, "If this fails, it won't be because of me."    I'm not sure what lesson we can learn from the Schneider experience.    Do we need all shelters to be led by Marines, or do we just need shelter directors to shut the hell up and do their jobs?    Listen to Mitch and you decide.....
