No one has a right to take a life. How sick do you have to be really? The fight is on. Rather than spending money on the machines and man power to kill these animals, why dont they spend it to find them homes or more postive methods of caring for them. Im in all the way.

I support the Federation of Humane Organizations of W.Va which is sponsoring a bill that will ban the use of carbon monoxide to euthanize animals. Please eliminate the prolonged and painful death of animals, who by no fault of their own, end up in West Virginia county run animal shelters. Please support SB501 which will forbid the use of gas chambers to euthanize animals in W.Va.

Animals don't deserve this any more than it appears that the justice system in this country feels that the people on death row in the state prisons do not deserve this. I'm sure that most of these animals have not raped or murdered anyone. Their only crime is having been abandoned or left homeless or lost and not yet found. I think that they deserve as much consideration as a human being on the issue of life or death. Why not take away the plush life of people like Charlie Manson, etc. and use the bucks to pay for their amenities to pay for food and shelter for something that really hasn't committed a crime?

Convicted murderers and those who have stolen the innocence from children are treated more humanely than innocent animals, whose only sin is they are unwanted. This monstrous practice must stop!!

Please ban this very ANCIENT, cruel method of euthanization. Many who who use gas chambers are violating the animal welfare protection act -- they gas MANY animals all at once! It's sick, cruel and it's time this method be completely eliminated.

Animals feel pain, fear, joy, sadness, loneliness, probably all the things a human feel, animals feel too... Killing animals by gassing them, is horrible. They are aware of everything we do to them and it is shameful that, in the 21st century, people still find it ok to kill animals. It is not ok to kill animals as a solution to overpopulation... and if you do, then ATLEAST!! give them a PAINFREE!! death.. Use painfree injection, like we do in Denmark and many other European countries... Gassing is beyond cruel!!
