Ban Gas Chambers for Coyotes in California

  • by: Nyack Clancy
  • recipient: California Governor Jerry Brown

Even though the practice of using gas chambers for dogs and cats been outlawed in California, (and 18 other states), California city council of Seal Beach had decided that trapping and gassing coyotes in this inhumane way was good enough- until a public backlash caused them to abandon this misguided plan. But there are no laws to actually prevent it.

The plan in Seal Beach, Southern Califorinia, was to catch coytes in traps and then transfer them into mobile gas chambers, and gas the coyotes to death with Carbon dioxide (CO2). The backlash against asphyxiation was so strong that the city reversed course and abandoned extermination as a solution.

There are non-lethal and humane ways to co-exist with wildlife. To be trapped and forced into a gas chambers to choke to death is beyond inhumane. We demand that California make this practice illegal and ban gas chambers used to kill coyotes.
