Harry Reid: “I will say one more thing to the Senator. There are more animal shelters than there are domestic crisis shelters in…”

On the recordJuly 25, 2001
I will say one more thing to the Senator. There are more animal shelters than there are domestic crisis shelters in America. In Nevada, a rapidly growing community, we are so understaffed. We have a lack of facilities. These brave women are willing to break away from this domestic violence, and we are having trouble finding a place for them to go. It is a really difficult situation, not only in Nevada but all over the country. It is a national problem. We have helped with some national moneys but not nearly enough.
