This practice needs to stop. being killed in a gas chamber is terrifying for the animals and heartbreaking for the humans involved. its disturbing and heartbreaking, just knowing thousands of dogs, cats were forced in and left to die simply for not being wanted. and there will be more and more until puppy mills and BYB are stopped. Other animals also suffer —being warehoused for years Confined to cages for years on end, they go insane out of loneliness and confinement. Many more unwanted animals are simply abandoned to suffer and die on city streets or in rural areas. There simply are not enough good homes for all the animals being born." but they need to at least be humane! and use lethal injection over the gas chamber. Lethal injection properly administered to sedated animals delivers death rapidly compared to a gas chamber. The latter takes a minimum of 20 minutes and it is not uncommon for it to take as long as 45 minutes, depending on the size, age and health of the animal. Sometimes it is necessary to gas an animal two or three times before they die.
The reason why these horrific "gas chambers" are used is because they are CHEAP. It costs money to at least humanely euthanize these animals,it needs to be outlawed .
Many States have banned gas chambers but there are still a lot who still use this method. These poor animals can not speak for them selves. we need to be their voice. Please help us and sign this petition. lets make our voices be heard. doing nothing will not change any thing. people have voiced their opinions on this and many have changed because of it.
God Rest the Souls of the Animals who Suffered and died in the gas chambers. God Heal the broken Hearts of the Rescuers. Help us find the strength to fight another day for the animals.
