Just read the letter from the petition
Tell Gaston Co NC Animal Control No to Gas, etchttp://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/tell-gaston-co-nc-animal-control-no-to-gas-etc

which seems to be against killing animals

"We are writing to ask for your support for House Bill #6, Davie's Law/ Humane Euthanasia in all North Carolina Animal shelters. It is time to put the torture to end. 

As a resident of North Carolina, I feel strongly that we should provide the most humane treatment possible for animals in our state's shelters.  Gas chambers are outdated, dangerous, costly, and inefficient.  Which we have been forced to watch.

Euthanasia by injection of sodium pentobarbital (EBI) is used in most animal shelters in our state.  Staff at  shelters should be trained to safely euthanize all sorts of animals by injection, even those who may be aggressive.  However, it can be quite dangerous to force a conscious, aggressive animal into a gas chamber.  Since animals are normally gassed in groups, placing frightened, aggressive or wild animals into a chamber with others can lead to fighting.    There life has been full of misery why must you make it worse for them, do they not deserve to die in peace with dignity.

EBI is the only method approved by all national humane organizations in the United States, and the preferred method of the National Animal Control Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association.  I understand that a recent cost study from Animal Care and Control Consultant Doug Fakkema shows that EBI can be less expensive than gas chambers, based on figures from North Carolina shelters.  This could save money for our counties, while at the same time providing a humane end to the lives of animals in the care of shelters.  And provide better care of the animals being held in the shelters living out their last days.

Inspections from several government agencies in recent years have revealed leaking and malfunctioning gas chambers, many of which have caused employee overexposure to carbon monoxide.  It simply isn't worth the risk of increased worker compensation claims and possible lawsuits, when a safer, more cost effective, and more humane method is readily available. 

Remember also most of these animals haven't been given a chance at a home with real love the least we can do for them is give them a pat on the head and a humane injection to end their lives. It may be the only affection they ever receive. If animal control staff cares a bit about these animals then where is the humanity.  It's a good thing people don't always get what we deserve because we would pay dearly for what we have and continue to do to our animals.

any explanation if somebody needs one:

Thank you! You signed at 9:13 AM PDT, Sep 25, 2009

Concerned citizens, Animal Lovers, Animal Advocates and Animal Rescues respectfully request from the Town Council of Saltville, VA that they either change, amend or rescind the dog limit ordinance passed on September 8, 2009.  This ordinance will affect the only rescue in town, Saving Furry Friend Rescue, and in effect possibly close them down.  If the ordinance cannot be amended, changed or rescinded, please grandfather the rescue in.

Please sign our petition asking Massachusetts General Hospital to end the cruel and outdated use of live sheep in its trauma training courses.

Later this month, PCRM physicians will lead an educational demonstration at Mass General in Boston to bring attention to this issue. Please sign this petition that our physicians will present to the hospital’s president.

At Mass General, Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATL courses typically involve cutting open live, anesthetized sheep and practicing procedures such as inserting a tube and needle into the animals’ chest cavities and cutting into their throats. After the training session, the animals are killed. Mass General continues this inhumane practice even though the American College of Surgeons has approved simulators for this training. The hospital even owns and uses one of the simulators to teach ATLS surgical skills to medical students—but it continues to use live sheep to teach the very same procedures to practicing physicians.

Please sign the petition and then forward this e-mail to your friends and family.
