We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:

Stop Gas Euthanasia in North Carolina

Target: Governor of North Carolina
Sponsor: Michele King
  • Signatures: 16,521
  • Goal: 100,000
  • Deadline: 12-31-2009
All you hear is a door slammed closed and the sound of screams and choking as the gas is turned on. They see one another dying, going into convulsions and bleeding out of the mouth. Some are not verified to be dead when thrown into the incinerator, freezer, or landfill.
We are not talking about the Holocaust.This happens in communities all over North Carolina, at the expense of taxpayers. 

A quarter of a million of dogs and cats are killed annually in North Carolina. Many tax-funded animal shelters are still using the gas chamber to kill unclaimed pets.  North Carolina residents are funding it. 

Please sign this petition to support only Euthanasia by Injection for all North Carolina animal shelters.

Stop Gas Euthanasia in North Carolina

All you hear is a door slammed closed and the sound of screams and choking as the gas is turned on. They see one another dying, going into convulsions and bleeding out of the mouth. Many are not quite dead and are thrown back in the incinerator. We are not talking about the Holocaust, we are talking about something that happens in your community every day. Thousands of dogs are put down every year in North Carolina. Many shelters have not updated their method of euthanasia and are still using the gas chamber. In many peoples eyes this is not humane. The only humane way to put a dog to sleep is by lethal injection through a vein in the leg. This method takes less than 30 seconds and is pain free for the most part. Please help, by signing this petition, North Carolina put a law into affect to make lethal injection into the leg the only way to euthanize an animal.
