2,641 9:36 pm PST, Nov 1 Mr. Buzz Miller Gladwyne Pennsylvania United States This despicable practice must be abolished
2,640 10:33 am PDT, Oct 30 Ms. Carol Kangas So. Acworth New Hampshire United States As human beings, we have a responsibility to treat other of god's creatures as humanely as we would like to be treated. It's sad enough that these poor animals are unwanted, given the fact that all they want is to be with and love us, but that they are killed in this brutal way. It's absolutely shameful.
2,639 2:12 pm PDT, Oct 29   Anonymous New Bern North Carolina United States !!! STOP !!!
2,638 3:00 am PDT, Oct 29 Mrs. Denise Hammond Houston Texas United States Is this insensitive process being thought out? Who wants to be responsible for such a dreadful, cruel act and later be faced with regret? Educate. Promote new solutions. Have a heart.
2,637 6:31 pm PDT, Oct 28 Ms. Jennifer Linley Houston Texas United States It is just as terrible to use gas chambers on animals, as it was on humans.
2,636 5:35 pm PDT, Oct 28 Mrs. Linda Tatum Houston Texas United States Yes, please stop the cruel use of gas chambers.
2,635 4:36 pm PDT, Oct 28   Rhonda Heffernan Houston Texas United States Gas chambers are barbaric. We should be better than this.
2,634 4:19 pm PDT, Oct 28   Doris Konduros Houston, Texas 77042 Texas United States Please stop this cruelty--you are causing unnecessary suffering. Please in God's name stop.
2,633 3:55 pm PDT, Oct 28   Monica Tiller Los angeles California United States STOP this cruel & inhumane practice!

2,631 2:27 pm PDT, Oct 28 Mrs. Lindalee Schult Midway Park North Carolina United States This is disgusting. High volume killings with the TORTURE of INNOCENT animals. STOP!!
2,630 2:26 pm PDT, Oct 28   Michelle McDaniel Friendswood Texas United States disgusting
2,629 12:09 pm PDT, Oct 28   Jewell Maida Houston Texas United States I think we should first test this method on all the humans who mandated that this be the chosen way to eleminate unwanted animals. When that works, we can procede to mandate spay neuter.
2,628 3:24 am PDT, Oct 28 Ms. Maria Fongaro Verona   Italy Stop Cruelty!!!
2,627 9:48 am PDT, Oct 27 Ms. Tracey Dunn Wallingford Pennsylvania United States We need to make all states who still use the barbaric gas chamber to kill inocent animals to STOP!! It's 2009, I think it's time to move up in the world and really think about what is going on in North Carolina especially!
2,626 5:32 pm PDT, Oct 18 Mrs. Lynda J. Smith Clayton North Carolina United States I moved here to N.C. six years ago from Western New York and have been sickened by the way people here allow their pets to reproduce without considering the consequences. I am heartsick over the numbers of unwanted animals in shelters as a result of non-sterilization by pet owners. More upsetting still is the use of gas chambers to put these poor animals "down". When I've been to shelters and looked into the eyes of these animals, they seem to sense their cruel destiny. I want to do whatever I can to help these animals from such a terrible fate.
2,625 10:01 am PDT, Oct 17 Mrs. tara bar albny New York United States plain disgracful and humans are such greedy people...abuse to animals is bullshit and makes me sick..through your selves in a gas chamber too
2,624 2:02 am PDT, Oct 15 Ms. linda bowman carrboro North Carolina United States i had no idea they were using gas chambers. i think they should just make it illegal for anyone not to spay their animal for some years to come so the population can catch up, much like china i guess. gas chambers are so impersonal. if an animal at least got a pet on the head before being given an injection, at least they would know affection before leaving. i am a realist, i realize that there are more animals than we can take care of. it breaks my heart to see them euthanized. much like the jews, in a mass grave. god created them also. i wish there were an easy solution. our animals save our lives and our emotional stability.
2,623 8:10 pm PDT, Oct 14   patrice mains mckeesport Pennsylvania United States this needs to be stopped..
2,622 4:40 pm PDT, Oct 13 Ms. noelle dawson nepean   Canada i can not believe that in this day and age, that this is how we destroy animals, this is so inhumane! Laws need to change, its not bad enough the animals lose their family now they dont even get to have a decent peaceful death...instead they suffer complete and total agony for at least 30 minutes. How can we allow this to happen to mans best friend. Spay or neuter your animals, and when you have them, train them, so they are social, your laziness, results in their death. Invest the time in them, and they will give it back to you 10 fold...please dont allow your cherish pet to die this way...alone and scared and in pain!
2,621 2:10 pm PDT, Oct 8 Mrs. Mary Beth Cummings little egg harbor New Jersey United States I don't know why it's seen as normal to have someone kill your pet just so you don't have to deal with him anymore!!! And the gas chambers are so heartless, no love or soothing at the end of life. Please stop this!
2,620 1:18 pm PDT, Oct 8 Mrs. Hollie Ferguson Vancouver, Bc   Canada Please donot kill any more animals. please create no-kill sanctuaries or shelters for them.
2,619 12:19 pm PDT, Oct 5   Melanie Regan Carrboro North Carolina United States Please, please stop this cruel and horrific practice.

2,616 4:54 pm PDT, Sep 30 Mrs. Barbara levine Highland Mills New York United States I want to help stop the cruelty to these poor animals being put to death by the use of gas chambers.
2,615 10:03 am PDT, Sep 30 Mrs. ashley schuck Richlands North Carolina United States it's cruel,find other ways like putting money towards getting people educated to train there dog and the responsibilites that come with owning a pet.find ways to get them trained as therapy dogs or whatever.just killing them is the worst option and lazy.....
2,614 10:46 pm PDT, Sep 27 Ms. Marylin Olazagasti Fayetteville North Carolina United States Spay and neuter your pets!! Don't buy, ADOPT!! Be a responsible pet owner. If we all follow these, there would be no need for animals to be euthanize. Let's be human once and for all!!

2,607 6:10 am PDT, Sep 15 Ms. Lilith Diamond Bertinoro   Italy STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2,606 6:23 am PDT, Sep 14 Ms. neva Vogel McLean Virginia United States It's makes the county and states that do these kind of practices look inhuman and uncaring. It is a flaw on the citizens of these communities not to take action as we all should in Ameria. It is unnecessary pain for these animals and correctable. Gasing must be stopped. Neva Vogel
2,605 9:10 pm PDT, Sep 12   Hollie Estes RALEIGH North Carolina United States This is a horrible way to kill animals. You should be ashamed.
2,604 10:58 pm PDT, Sep 11 Mrs. Cheryl Morton Manitowoc Wisconsin United States All killing on this planet must end. Every Life Spirit in existence is to be respected and cared for. It is our responsibility to protect and provide sanctuary for each Life to continue. Only the Divine Powers that Be have the Right to extinguish that flame. -- It is a well-known fact that there are survivors of this inhumane method and senseless killing; those that are thought dead but are merely heavily sedated, and those that are very much alive yet and subjected to a second gassing. Turn it around. Would you want to be put to death (by any means) due to over-population of Humanity? Let your conscience be your guide. Be the Change you want to see in the world.
2,603 1:44 pm PDT, Sep 11   Anonymous richburg South Carolina United States These animals are like little children! Please stop the abuse! They feel pain and saddness and hurt just like children!
2,602 8:12 am PDT, Sep 10   Andrew Thomas Gaffney South Carolina United States It breaks my heart that so many animals are gassed on a daily basis. Something must be done about this. I pray to God that we can bring this to sn end in the near future.
2,601 5:25 pm PDT, Sep 7 Mrs. Anonymous Arlington Massachusetts United States Words can't say how cruel this is. We don't even kill criminals who had killed lots of people this way so why do simply homeless or lost animals that feel pain, fear and anguish like humans had to be tortured this way!
