GRACE'S LAW:

A GEORGIA STATE SENATE VOTE last week brought the state closer to outlawing the use of gas chambers, rather than the more commonly used lethal injections, to euthanize homeless dogs and cats.
H.B. 788, also called "Grace's Law" in reference to a dog who survived an attempted euthanasia by carbon monoxide gassing, passed a Georgia House vote in March. After its passage in the state Senate, it returns to the House for a final vote to approve a change to the proposed legislation made by the Senate, according to the Florida Times-Union.
By all accounts, very few animal shelters will be affected should the new law be enacted, as it's expected to be. About 10 Georgia shelters -- holdovers from a 1990 law that prohibited new shelter gas chambers from being built but allowed those already in operation to remain -- currently use gas chambers as a means of euthanizing homeless pets.
But even that relatively small number is far too high, according to the animal advocates who support passage of Grace's Law. If it is enacted, shelters that currently operate animal gas chambers will be given three years to comply with the law by switching to lethal injection as a euthanasia method.
Euthanasia is just wrong when it comes to healthy animals that have been displaced for one reason or another.
This petition is an attempt to make the right people see this and stop all the senseless killing. Animal Cruelty is a crime and the killing of an animal in good health is a form of animal cruelty eventhough it is painless.
With the proper government and taxpayer backing the shelters can make the necessary purchases such as medicine/vaccine, food, toys, overhead expenses etc. to extend the time until a loving home is found for all the displaced animals.
This is one more very good example of where and how the leadership fails, and conributes to the breakdown of our society. Lack of judgement officials must ultimately be voted out of office. If positions are appointed, a deeper scrutiny must take place. The mission of our country demands it. AnimalActionUSA
