The petition seeks to stop a form of animal cruelty that is still widely used to euthanize dogs and cats in shelters across the U.S. If animal shelters label certain cats and dogs to be destroyed, lethal injection is a more humane way of killing the animals. When dogs and cats are killed by gassing, the animal suffers an average of 40 minutes in a horrible, torture filled manner which is against laws of nature. This method of killing is still used in 31 states today. If we are going to promote a culture of nonviolence, we must include all aspects of our lives. The law should not only include banning the use of gas chambers but include the creation and possession of gas chambers.
