This petition is to make kill shelters in the United States illegal. Every 6 seconds an animal is killed at a kill shelter in the U.S. ~They are killing animals that are healthy and don't have behavioral issues. Some are inhumanely ending the animals lives by sticking them into a metal container, much like a dumpster,  closing them in by holding down a cover and pump toxic gas into this container- an EXTREMELY painful death!  Then they repeat this process with the next round of dogs on top of the dead! WHAT A SIN & A SHAME TO MANKIND!!!! The public needs to be made aware of this!  US CONGRESS needs to do something to STOP this!!!  The video can be seen here and it is the most EVIL HORRIFIC, SICK sight:   http://www.helpsaveone.org/index.html 

PLEASE if you don't sign this petition please sign any that may be out there.  This image is embedded in my head & heart forever and my intent is to be able to help out in any way that I can to prevent this from continuing.  Please do your part and sign!!!  Your canine friends NEED YOUR HELP!!  I don't care if you are a dog lover or not ~  this is JUST WRONG AND MUST STOP!!!

Petition start date:  July 29, 2008
We the undersigned are all in agreement that US Congress needs to stop the action of gassing animals at kill shelters.  Controls and licenses laws for breeding need to be implemented ~ spay and neuter operations and controls need to be implemented~ Puppy mills need to be shut down ~ Canine Refuge area's need to be started & the no kill shelters that are up and operating need to be funded for HELPING the animals in need and finding them homes.  There are many controls that can & should be put into place and being BARBARIC and DISPOSING of animals by gassing them is the wrong answer!  This is 2008/ 2009 and there is NO EXCUSE why this is happening.  It's WRONG.

Thank you for taking the time to read and understand and thank you for being compassionate to the welfare of animals that do not need to end their lives in total FEAR & so PAINFULLY at the hands of a human.
