Heart stick euthanasia rates as high, if not higher than gas chamber euthanasia, and it has been mentioned by an ex-empoyee that it is being done at the Garland, Texas Animal Control Shelter Animals are the innocents, a gift to us, and they don't have a way of pleading their case, so we must do it for them! Prisoners sent to death row aren't "euthanized' by this method, so why in God's domain would we want to do this to pets!
