Controlled atmosphere killing (CAK) or controlled atmosphere stunning (CAS) is a method for slaughtering animals such as chickens by placing the animals in a container in which the atmosphere lacks oxygen and consists of an asphyxiant gas (one or more of argon, nitrogen or carbon dioxide), causing the animals to lose consciousness. Argon and nitrogen are important components of a gassing process which seem to cause no pain, and for this reason many consider it more humane than other methods of killing. I propose that the government hold hearings on this issue as a humane method of capital punishment. The condemned are simply put to sleep without a trace of pain. I am totally against capital punishment unless the murderer keeps escaping from prison and killing more people.
