Please, read what is presented on Eric Lee's site, and then read the up to date research provided below regarding the topic of CO2 chamber euthanasia. This method of death is painful, terrifying, and can take over half an hour to work! This site causes unnecessary suffering to animals. Euthanasia with professional veterinary practitioners is quick, pain free, and very affordable. There is absolutely NO reason why an animal should die like this!
