Gas chambers are one of the most cruel and barbaric methods to kill animals. In order to save money, the animals are not given any sedative before they are thrown into the gas box. It takes 15 to 25 minutes before these helpless and innocent creatures die in this chamber. The dogs are thrown into these gas boxes with the aid of a pole, a tight strangling chain around their necks. The cats are put into portable animal carriers, so that they cannot escape. They are subjected to intolerable suffering, their lungs literally burned and destroyed by carbon monoxide. To reduce waste matter, the employees of these high-kill pounds are instructed to stop feeding the animals for three (3) days prior to gassing them. They are only allowed to drink a little water. Euthanasia by injection of barbituates would be a distinct preferable resolution. It would not be more expensive and would diminish the suffering to these animals.
In the name of all animals, those who are without neither voice nor choice, we thank you for joining us for this extremely important action for those who depend on us to speak for them. Together, we can give these innocent animals a second chance for a better life, a life they so deserve.
