The killing of healthy, treatable and manageable animals is not necessary. There are many alternatives to such actions if local officials and shelter managers will (1) commit to not killing these animals and (2) put their minds to work and use creative, aggressive means to make the public aware that these animals are in need of a home. Over population is a “myth” that is used as a convenient excuse to kill healthy and treatable companion animals. Other solutions, such as Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) for feral cats and low-cost spay/neuter clinics to break the reproductive cycle of these animals as well as many other options, such as the use of creative marketing techniques, including the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, etc. will enable shelters to commit to a No Kill philosophy and successfully implement it. Foundations, such as Maddie’s Fund and many others will reward those who make and implement such decisions. As I stated in the beginning, killing healthy, treatable and manageable companion animals is not necessary.

There is a Bill to Ban Gas Chambers, being presented to the General Assembly (Jan.,’09), so please contact your Represenative and Senator, to ask them to support the bill.
The America Vet. Med. Association (studies on euthanasia) state they DO NOT know the “precise time of unconsciousness”! Therefore, is “vocalization and agitation” (meowing, barking, scratching, clawing to escape) before or after, loss of consciousness?
Feral/aggressive animals can be sedated/euthanized whilst in the trap or with chemical in their food. There is no need for gassing.
Please help to ban this state-sanctioned cruelty to animals.
