City pound removes its gas chamber

[Catherine]

I have seen videos of the gas chambers at work. That was years ago and it is everything you imagined only worse. I can't imagine who created this method. I think they used to drown them in some places so perhaps this seemed modern and progressive. 
They didn't use a humane gas. They often used car exhaust.

There will always need to be shelters. Some people will be irresponsible and abandon their pets.
What can change is the way shelters are run. Many shelters are no kill and they way they treat the animals is beautiful. This is especially true of private shelters and Humane Society/SPCA shelters.
We have to push and make our voices heard so that city run shelters become as humane as privately run shelters.

Cutting up the gas chamber is a real public statement. It sends a message to other shelters that they should do the same thing.
