Governor McCrory finally backed down and the state is banning gas chambers for good. This victory belongs to the 760 of you who refused to let these innocent animals suffer in silence. We forced them to end this cruelty so now we stay alert to ensure these chambers stay shut …

We urge Governor Patrick L McCrory of North Carolina to introduce legislation outlawing gas chambers to euthanize animals, end the practice of euthanizing healthy dogs, cats, puppies and kittens, and encourage spay/neuter of pets to reduce population, reducing euthanization rates from over 80% (dogs) and 96% (cats) as recently reported for Davidson County shelter. Use of gas chambers on innocent animals is inhumane and unacceptable.


Use of gas chambers to euthanize animals is cruelty in its most egregious form. Gas chambers frighten, torture and painfully execute innocent animals in the most horrendous manner, often taking as much as 30 minutes of suffering, during which time the animal suffers, while fighting to breathe. There is nothing humane about gas chambers.

We hit 100 signatures today but Governor McCrory still refuses to acknowledge the torture happening in these gas chambers. This is only the beginning of the pressure we are putting on his office to end this barbaric practice.

This is the most barbaric and inhumane treatment of animals I have ever heard. We need to join together and put a stop to this type of archaic practice by outlawing it in North Carolina.

As one state after another re-vamps its animal protection laws, euthanizing healthy animals will be seen for the unspeakable practice it is and be retired universally.

GOD-willing, very soon the very best and enforceable animal welfare laws and regulations shall become prevalent throughout the world. May GOD-ALMIGHTY save animals from the horrors of human induced abuse, cruelty, torture, and unjustifiable neglect, and habitat destruction.

You should be so ashamed! Didn't the use of gas chambers in Nazi Germany tell you that gas chambers are a gruesome way to kill!
