This sweet little dog is one of the many thousands of unwanted animals who waited hopefully for someone to come rescue or adopt them. His rescue never came.
Please help us abolish the gassing chamber as an acceptable form of euthanasia in the United Stat

Establish Federal Legislation to End the Use of Gassing Chambers as a Means of Euthanasia

Target:

Federal Legislators

Sponsored by:

Mary-AnnEllison, "End Gassing Chamber Atrocity NOW!"

Every day across the United States, thousands of unwanted dogs and cats are put to death by use of gassing chambers, an unnecessarily cruel and horrible manner of death.

Gassing chambers are atrocious and cause great amounts of stress and prolonged agony to the animals.They are sometimes ineffective in their task, necessitating its repeated use on the animals who simply did not die.

We hope to make residents of states who still employ this barbaric form of death aware of the fact and hope to enlist the help of many of our citizens who want this horrible form of death to be abolished to let their legislators know our feelings.

Every day in the United States, many thousands of unwanted dogs and cats are killed in gassing chambers.
This horrific manner of death is unnecessarily barbaric, causing great stress, prolonged agony, and is often not even effective in its purpose, requiring repeated uses or finally another form of euthanasia.
We the signers of this petition implore you to help us end this barbaric killing by proposing Federal legislation abolishing the use of gassing chambers.
We sincerely thank you in advance for your assistance in ending this unnecessary suffering on the part of dogs and cats in our country.

I feel we are destroying the wrong ones, it's the people that turn on you not the animals.

How can people allow this to continue happening??!! This practice of euthanizing is barbaric and distgusting. The law officials need to make this stop as it is not acceptable.

The people who do NOT prevent unwanted puppies, kittens, and other animals from coming into this world by spaying and nuetering their pets, then try to dispose of them in some sick, cruel, disgusting, perverted way, deserve to be put into these gas chambers themselves. Other people, (some so-called breeders); need to be forced to give birth time after time without having time to recuperate in between. Too many dogs and cats also die from being bred too much in this world just so people cam make more money!!! We need to find a way to make an eye for an eye a viable option for these disgusting sub-humans.

This is an appalling way to treat animals and they deserve better. Through no fault of their own they end up in shelters and they should at least have a peaceful dignified death. Shame on all the states that use this practice. Spay and neuter. Be responsible pet owners.

Please for the love of God and all animals, lets put an end to these kill shelters and turn them into animal sanctuaries. They have as much right to live as we do.

This is atrocious and brutal! I have to wonder if these people secretly enjoy inflicting such horrific suffering on the animals in their care. Shame on Dr. Ralph Houser, of North Carolina, for advocating the use of this method in lieu of the humane injection method!!! Find out how he has been a major hindrance to the stoppage of this method by following the link below. Anyone who advocates the use of this method, and who has the nerve to call themselves a professional, is a veterinary quack! http://www.animallawcoalition.com/gas-chambers/article/62

It's just sickening to know that so many good animals are killed just because they have no where to go. We domesticated these animals and they deserve to be treated right. They feel and breathe just like us. I say make people pay to own an unneutered animal and have that money go to the shelters to help them with this crisis. It shouldn't be a free right to breed for an easy buck.
