This article would lead one to believe that Winograd's positions and actions are reasonable and not controversial. In fact, Winograd and his "no-kill" philosophy are extremely controversial and divisive for many very good reasons. The following sources contain many valid criticism of Winograd, his affiliations with breeders and the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), his faulty claims, his simplistic and impractical ideas (which often deny reality), his slanderous and self-serving attacks on animal rights groups, and his bullying tactics:

(And that is just for starters.)

Also, the CCF apparently still promotes Winograd's book as part of its efforts to attack animal rights groups:

This article needs to be balanced with some legitimate focus on the various controversies associated with Winograd and his "No Kill Advocacy Center."

This article needs to be "about" the organization, not a promotional article about the viewpoints of the organization sourced by its own website (or the director's website). I put in some hatnotes, but this article is a mess and needs severe trimming. Normal Op (talk) 20:51, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
