Wow! I’m underwhelmed with the responses from the e-mail I sent to the 3 representatives of North Carolina government. Here is what I wrote:

Gentlemen:

I received an e-mail with a video about the gassing of homeless pets in death tubes in North Carolina. In a day and age when the more humane way of euthanizing through an injection while the dog is being held as it goes to sleep, muzzled or not, is available, why use such a barbaric method for putting these animals to sleep?

I’m doing my best to spread the word that N.C. is still using this frightening method of euthanasia, and am boycotting anything North Carolinian until the governor initiates state legislation banning gassing and this practice is stopped in favor of what the civilized parts of this great nation is doing, injection as mentioned above.

When I hear anyone mention North Carolina, I will let them know how little that state thinks of God’s creatures to put them through such a horrific death. This is appalling.
