We, the undersigned endorse the following petition:
Kill the Kill Shelters!
This petition is to get rid of kill shelters in the United States. Every 6 seconds an animal is killed at kill shelters in the U.S. Kill shelters kill animals even if they are healthy and don\'t have behavioral issues. Shelters don\'t always euthanize the animals either. Some shelters, like the one in the video, (the link is to the right under the section called links)inhumanely end the animals lives by sticking them into a box and pumping toxic gas into it. Not only do kill shelters end innocent lives, they prevent someone from having the ideal pet they have long been searching for. Although animals can\'t speak, we as humans do not have the right to do whatever we please with them. Especially killing them just for the heck of it and throwing them out like trash.The animals being killed could have the best personality you could find anywhere. In the video there are puppies being put in a box, on top of other dead animals, not knowing they will be killed just because they are is an inconveniance to the shelter...THIS MUST STOP! Killing an animal simply because they haven\'t been adopted is not an excuse nor is it fair to both the animals and fellow human beings.
Please spread this to as many people as possible. It would really be appreciated.
I really cannot stop thinking about the stuff people keep leaving in the comments section and it honestly keeps me up at night wondering how things became so coldhearted. Some of the messages are just so heartbreaking that I have to step away from my laptop sometimes because it feels like there is this huge weight sitting right on my chest while I try to figure out what to do next with all this.

I never imagined this would actually take off but seeing the momentum build makes me feel like we might finally force a change. It is honestly gutting to keep thinking about those puppies in the boxes but knowing so many of you care gives me a sliver of hope.

Millions of great adoptable animals given only 1 night to find home and most of them are getting killed just in a few hours. It's a concentration camp supported by gov and our tax money. Price to save a dog from kill shelter is about 200$ that is a price to pull out the animal. It's a crime and it's time to stop it.

My dog was a rescue and she is the best thing that ever happened to me. Every dog deserves a chance.
