END OF KILL SHELTERS

Dear Sir or Madam,

Unfortunately we continue to face overpopulation in our animal shelters, which leads to the euthanasia of many innocents. These animals are usually ones that have seen hard times, and their suffering ends by being euthonized. Some 30 states even use gas chambers which can take up to 30 minutes to end the animal's life.

We believe that euthanasia by injection (EBI) is the only humane form of euthanasia. It is significantly cheaper, quicker, and allows an animal to be comforted by shelter workers while they drift away. Wither it be gas or injection, each route is still too much. All of these poor, loving animals don't deserve to be killed only because they have no home. If a child is an orphan, you're not going to kill them if you can not find a home for them to spend time at. It's ridiculous and cruel to take life just because they're all alone. It's murder.

You can help reduce the number of free-roaming cats in your community and lower intake and euthanasia at local shelters with a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs and support adoptable pets by creating a no kill shelter. Please support the change to a no-kill and TNR program for the shelter of Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) http://www.paws-shelter.com.

Thank you,
