Background (Preamble):

A few states still euthanize animals routinely using the gas chamber.

Using the gas chamber is not humane, it is merely a method of mass destruction and torture as seen in Hitler's Germany.

We see it as barbaric, as well as deem it cruel and unusual punishment when executing prisoners. Why then is it humane to execute innocent animals?

Please think about you being in their position and stop this barbaric means of euthanasia in North Carolina.

Petition:

A federal court in California found this method to be cruel and unusual punishment. The last use of a gas chamber was on March 3, 1999, when Walter LaGrand, a German national, was executed in Arizona.

If it is cruel and unusual punishment for a convicted murderer, then it is cruel and unusual punishment for an innocent animal.
