Petition text:
To: North Carolina Legislators
We, the undersigned, insist upon humane euthanasia in North Carolina's municipal pounds. Because we do not consider gas chamber extermination humane, we do not want to finance its use with our taxes.
We strongly urge a ban on carbon monoxide poisoning as a method of killing unwanted animals. The variables necessary for humane gas chamber deaths are impossible to insure in North Carolina's pounds because of limited staff and resources, ineffective regulation, and unenforceable state laws.
Therefore, we strongly advocate that shelters move from the use of carbon monoxide and other inhalant gases to a lethal injection of sodium pentobarbital for routine euthanasia to ensure a humane death for those animals whose lives must be ended.
