Gas chambers have no place in our nation’s public or private animal shelters. They cannot provide a truly humane (pain- and stress-free) euthanasia for any animal; they are more expensive than the humane alternative, euthanasia by injection; they pose risk of injury and even death to shelter staff; and they have been condemned for routine shelter euthanasia by the AVMA, as well as by Humane World for Animals, NACA and every other national animal welfare organization. See what Humane World is doing to eliminate gas chambers from our nation’s shelters.
