STOP THE BRUTAL ASPHYXIATION OF PETS IN THE YADKIN COUNTY NC GAS CHAMBER

Target:
The Honorable Kim Clark Phillips, Yadkin County Commission Chair

Dogs leave this world in Yadkinville's merciless gas chamber

Who dares stand before their Maker on the Day of Judgment, when their hands are stained bloody red from this legacy of torment, abuse, and destruction?

The incomprehensible torment visited upon the blameless pets of Yadkin County, North Carolina, may not go unchallenged.

Can we hold our heads high, in Twenty-first Century America, when the blameless, the vulnerable, the orphaned and the friendless, perish gasping in the steel confines of the Yadkin County Animal Shelter Carbon Monoxide Gas Chamber?

We, the undersigned, do hereby:

RESOLVE, that the Yadkin County Board of Commissioners, the Yadkin County Animal Shelter, and all relevant and responsible authorities, must cease at once the barbaric slaying of Yadkin County pets in the carbon monoxide gas chamber; and we do hereby further

RESOLVE, that euthanasia, when unavoidable, all reasonable alternatives having been exhausted, should be effected by use of the use of pharmaceutical injection, of such humane lethal agents as intravenous sodium pentothal; and we do hereby further

RESOLVE, that no one who could witness the terrifying destruction of these trusting, innocent animals would go unscarred, and that perpetuation of these methods inflicts psychological damage on all who are ordered to perform the deadly deed, if any humanity yet lives within them; and we do hereby further

RESOLVE, that such inhumane and unconscionable practices are a blight upon the imaginations and souls of our children and grandchildren, whose nightmares are ever plagued by monstrosities such as these; and we do hereby further

RESOLVE, that the animal welfare community will be prepared to applaud and commend Yadkin County for its care, kindness, and compassion, when it has accomplished these critical tasks.

RENOUNCE THE SIN OF SHAMEFUL ANIMAL ABUSE

EMBRACE THE FUTURE OF COMPASSION TOWARD OUR FELLOW BEINGS

END THE YADKIN COUNTY GAS CHAMBER!

Dogs leave this world in Yadkinville's merciless gas chamber

How can the Yadkin County Commission, in good conscience, continue stuffing helpless, orphaned pets into the carbon monoxide asphyxiation chamber in Twentieth Century America?

The unchallenged consensus among all veterinary practitioners, animal shelter administrators, ethicists, and certainly the general public, is that euthanasia of pets, when unavoidable, should be accomplished only by lethal injection, with such agents as sodium pentothal.

If the expertise of the current personnel in the shelter system lack sufficient expertise, a modest investment in training, pharmaceuticals, and equipment would suffice to halt the frightful deaths experienced in the dark, terrifying chamber of death.

Very truly yours,

Das ist einfach nur furchtbar. Die armen Tiere müssen leiden, nur weil zu viele Menschen sich Tiere anschaffen, und nach einiger Zeit feststellen, das die Tiere nerven oder stören, und sie dann einfach weg geben oder aussetzen. Die Tiere haben ein recht zu leben, denn es sind auch lebewesen die gefühle haben. Ich möchte helfen, das dieses grausame sterben ein ende hat.

Ich weiß nicht warum die Menschen so etwas tun, aber das muss auf jedenfall aufhören. Die Tiere wollen doch auch nur leben. Es sollte einfach eine Pflicht sein, ein Tier zu kastrieren, damit nicht zu viele Tiere geboren werden. Wenn kastration kostenlos wäre, dann würden das sehr viel mehr Halter auch machen und es müssten nicht so viele tiere auf so eine grausame art sterben. Ich möchte helfen, das dieses grausame sterben ein ende hat.

Gas chambers are so cruel. Yeah they are cheaper for the shelters but if the people working at the shelters care about animals at all I don't see how they can do this. These animals are already dying with no person to love them. At least they should have a more humane and one on one euthanization. I also don't understand why shelters don't transfer to other shelters rather than using euthanization.

It is absolutely INSANE that family pets are treated in such an inhumane way. I would think that this is the way it is done in China or some third world country, but, not in the USA. It is a shame we are so heartless of a society. SHAME ON US.

These animals did not ask to be born. Maybe, better policies of pet population control should be addressed.

Do it in a humane way, not like this. This is 1 minute of torture! The dogs have suffered enough already being homeless, abused, hungry, unwanted and unloved. Dogs are innocent and should not die like this. I hope people will adopt from the shelter and not buy from a pet store.

SICK HUMANS!!!!! What do you think these animals would do to you if your fate was in their hands? Love you, be loyal to you, lick you face, wag their tails, be there when they KNOW you are feeling down. This is what they deserve? This is not why they are here!!!!

The act of gassing animals in Yadkin County is not only astonishing but completely and utterly cruel. The entire nation looks upon you in disgust. This inhumane treatment of animals should not exist in the 21st century and needs to be put to an end. I for one advocate all those who are fighting what is being done to these animals. I also plan to seek every avenue possible to help put it to an end. It is pitiful that people can be so cruel in an attempt to make things as effortless as necessary for themselves. Kill as many as possible, as easily as possible with no regard for the animal. No creature should have to suffer this way! It is no better than the gas chambers used during the holocaust. It needs to end!!

Why should the Yadkin County Commission abolish use of the carbon monoxide death chamber for euthanizing orphaned pets?
