 Grace's Law - Ga. House Bill 606 - this is a bill that would outlaw the use of gas chambers for euthanasia by Georgia's animal control facilities. The bill is named after a dog who survived the gas chamber.

Quite the opposite - the shrieks and screams of the unfortunates put to death in this way are a testimony to the lie

Only ONE PERCENT of all shelters in the U.S. still use this method. There are 15 shelters in Georgia that use the gas chambers. Georgia needs to come into the 21st century, and MUST stop literally torturing animals to death.

Georgia Voters for Animal Welfare needs YOUR help to end the madness. Here is your opportunity to make a difference.  Now comes the critical part. Last year, a similar bill died in committee.  We only have until March 12 to get the bill out of committee, so time is of the essence.

Tom McCall is the Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture. His address is: 226 State Capitol,
Georgia 30334
Phone: (404) 656-5115
Fax: (404) 463-4122

Please also do the same for the Governor as his support is crucial as well. His address:
Governor Sonny Perdue
State Capitol
Atlanta, GA 30334

Hi

I just voted in Care2.com's "America's Favorite Animal Shelter" contest to help my favorite animal welfare group, Winging Cat Rescue Inc, win a grand prize of $10,000. Think of the homeless pets we could save with $10,000! But I need your help to get enough votes to help Winging Cat Rescue Inc win.

Please vote here:
http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/75602/?refer=25566.07.1222271425.1404

If you're not familiar with them, Winging Cat Rescue's
mission is to save cats and kittens from death row. place them in foster care, and ultimately find forever homes for as many as possible. They are a nationwide licensed rescue organization currently focusing on (but not exlusive to) an animal control pound in Griffin, Georgia in the U.S. This pound uses inhumane gas chambers as their method of "euthanasia" and Winging Cat Rescue is determined to save as many cats as they can. They rely solely on private donations. You can visit their website to read more about their work, view some of the beautiful deserving cats they are trying to help and also learn about the low cost spay/neuter programs they sponsor.

To meet some of the volunteers personally, along with LOTS of fellow animal lovers, come join the Supporters of Winging Cat Rescue here on Care2

Thank you for considering Winging Cat Rescue.

P.S. You have to live in the U.S. to vote, but if you don't please pass this message on to your animal loving friends who do. Thanks!
