Senior Yorkie Talker | Wake up call!! I ran across this. I am crying so hard. I just can't stand to think what these poor guys go through. Hello. My name is "Lost Soul" and I'm a stray mutt mix who was found by an animal control officer when I was trying to find food in somebody's garbage can. I'm starving, skinny and scared. I'm 3 years old, and my whole life was spent chained to a tree. My owner moved and just let me run free. I'm not that beautiful. I'm a black lab mix like most of the other "prisoners" at the shelter. Most people will pass me by because of my emaciated body and skin problems. I know it's time for me to go to heaven and I accept this. I just wish I could die a peaceful death with a shot. But no, I will die in the GAS CHAMBER in Johnston County, NC. I will be put in a box with many other dogs and locked in. I will be scared and start to cry. I hope none of the other dogs get mad and start to attack me which is very common in this situation. I will start to breathe in the gas and I will feel my eyes and mouth burn and I will start howling. I will take my little nose and put it to the bottom of the grate to try to catch some fresh air. This isn't working, Oh God, Please Help, I can't breathe! I'm vomiting, dizzy and starting to black out and convulse. I hear the other "lost souls" scream and some blood is splattered on me because I'm pawing to get out.. and I cut the pads on my paws off. Oh My God this hurts and I'm so scared! I'm wondering why I have to die this way?? All I ever wanted was a family to love and warm lap to sit on!! Why do convicted murderers on death row get a shot, but I have to die in a GAS CHAMBER? I wish I could die with a shot, with a vet holding me and rubbing my ear telling me everything will be okay. I would die with some dignity and not defecate or urinate on myself. I better give in to the gas and go to heaven now, for if I don't die, they will put me in the gas chamber and do it again. I can't wait to get to heaven and have all the angels rub my belly and give me kisses.

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | Oh my gosh..that is so sad. But at the same time it makes me so mad...how could anyone do something like that!!! Why shoud humans who had commited crimes be treated better than innocent animals???? Reading that makes me want to stand even stronger for them...

Senior Yorkie Talker | I had thought about going to the shelter here and seeing if I could volunteer to help a couple of days a week, but, I don't think I could stand it.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | OMG that sounds TRULY AWFUL ! There has to be a way to stop that....I HATE hearing about euthanasia but the shot is much much more peaceful - I was with my husbands cocker in her final moments and she gently went to Rainbow Bridge....but THAT sounds just like TORTURE ! |

| Wow this really happens? I am so naive . How could people who claim to be from the human race do such a thing? do they actually go home to their family with a clear concience and sleep at night! They need to be put in that gas room...at least until they get really sick and see what its like! Those poor dogs! The only thing those poor pups did was to be unfortunate enough to have cruel selfish uncaring owners. There is none so innocent as these dogs who are helpless and trust and depend on us to take care of them. They are more loving and loyal than most human beigs could ever be and this is what that gets them! Its a sin! My heart breaks for them.

| A lot of places use this method because it is cheaper. There are many though that are using injections, because the other way is so in humane. It doesn't make since to me the way some people think it is okay to treat animals so poorly just because they are not human.

| This is awful to read. I think we need to remember, though, that if this method is cheaper, it's probably necessary. Most Humane Societies and shelters do the best that they can, and unfortunately can't afford to let the lost souls die with peace and dignity. I think that this is a great reminder of how in-need these places are. We sometime forget that while our bills are rising, so are theirs. If anyone is sadened or outraged that this is happening, make a donation to your local shelter or humane society if possible. Donations can be designated to a certain aspect of the organization, so you have complete control over where your money goes. |

| I am going to commit to making a donation to try and at least help to prevent this from happening. I just have to wait for my next check! Why dont the states take some of that money that they are feeding the murderers, rapists, and child molesters in our prisons with and put it to the innocent animals who havent hurt anyone! Honestly, I dont understand this world. Oprah for president!
