I think those are all great points. I know that I personally would have a lot of trouble volunteering at a kill shelter - I just think it would be emotionally draining. And a lot of sensitive people won't set foot in a kill shelter for any reason whatsoever.
I remember watching some "neurosis porn" on ... A&E, I think. One of those reality shows where the subjects have OCD. One woman had compulsive thoughts about animal cruelty, and of course her therapist made her go to a local shelter. She sat inside weeping and gagging for what seemed like forever. Obviously she was an extreme case, but I think it can be hard for a lot of people.
