We the undersigned plead & urge you to put an end to cruel animal euthanasia by gas chamber & heartstick methods.As we are all aware the shelter workers are in physical health danger from the carbon monoxide being used & possibilty of chamber explosion which has already happened.The mental stress on these workers is also an issue as they see & hear the agony of the animals.These animals are being treated as if criminals which don't even go through this.25-30 animals at a time are stuffed into the chamber,screaming,howling,crying out,choking,vomiting,fighting each other,urinating,deficating & banging their heads against the chamber wall.Many convulse go into comas & are buried alive or thrown in the garbage alive.These are living,breathing,feeling,innocent & speechless beings.Some have lost their homes,have known nothing but abuse & neglect.There is not one humane aspect in this.It is totally unacceptable.We as a nation should be setting an example in being humane.The places where it has been deemed appropriate to use gas on vicious dogs is also unacceptable as there are other ways to euthanize them and some shelters are not sticking to that one rule & are gasing other animals.These animals are also suffering going without food & water for hours before the chamber so they do not make as much of a mess.Heartstick method when the animal is not under full sedation is also cruel.The best way is through IV (via a vein).Please help us outlaw something that was a horrible & gruesome part of human history & should not exist anywhere in the U.S.We thank you for your time & understanding on this issue.
