The animal shelters that are getting this petition are kill shelters that kill more than 50% of the animals that they get. Each year, between 3-4 million dogs and cats are put to sleep in shelters across the United States
There are shelters that still use the gas chamber as a form of euthanasia. The horrific gas execution can last up to 40 minutes and sometimes needs to be repeated. Many dogs are only at the shelter for 24-48 hours before they are killed.
The majority of the animals that are killed are due to lack of space, being too skinny or having a shy character. It's horrible that the animals that have been abused and become afraid of people are labeled as "unadoptable" as well and killed. All those animals deserve a chance to learn to trust after the cruelty they have been through. Please sign this to stop the killing of innocent animals!
Thank you so much for signing my petition! I would appreciate it if you could share this petition with your friends and family so we can send it to kill shelters all over the United States to make them stop killing their innocent animals! With your help, we can save millions of animals' lives!
