 We the undersinged are opposed to the use of Carbon Monoxide as an acceptable measure for euthanizing cats and dogs. It is cruel and inhumane and the use of injectables are a more humane way of euthanizing them.                                                                                            Veterinarians and other experts agree that a properly injected dose of sodium pentobarbital ensures a humane death for those animals whose lives must be ended.

Inhaled carbon monoxide gas, even at low levels, can be dangerous to caretakers, causing many human health problems or even resulting in death. Furthermore, carbon monoxide gas is invisible to workers, is highly flammable, and explosive.

We have shown that THE SAFEST AND MOST HUMANE WAY TO EUTHANIZE AN ANIMAL IS BY LETHAL INJECTION. Therefore, we advocate that shelters move from the use of inhalant gases to injectable barbiturates for routine euthanasia to ensure a humane death for those animals whose lives must be ended.

Sincerely,

Using the gas chamber is absolutely outdated and horrific. Haven't these animals suffered enough - yes! Many have been abused, abandoned, lived horrendous lives. Some would have had to be surrendered by elderly/infirm who believe they will be well cared for and found new homes. Start spending a little more time money in finding these beautiful creatures new homes, rehabilitation, foster care and when only ABSOLUTELY necessary humane euthanasia in the form of lethal injection. I'm disgusted to hear that the gas chamber is still in operation.

I cannot believe Pennsylvania is using a gas chamber to kill innocent animals. Have our lawmakers become so ignorant of spaying and neutering of animals to stop over population? This method of 'catch and kill' has been proven not to work and will never work. Surely you have a law against cruelty to animals and if so you are violating that law! What a horrible way to make an animal spend its last minutes on earth. Where is your humanity and compassion for Gods creatures?
