This is a cruel and archaic method, it is also more expensive.
If multiple animals are placed in a chamber, they can start fighting out of fear and desperation. It is a very stressful situation, the gas can take longer to be effective if the animal is stressed. A lethal injection is much quicker and humane.
*28 states do not have a ban in place on gas chambers (and 11 states still use them). All 50 U.S. states (and provinces of Canada) need to ban this method.
*Spay & Neuter. Adopt, don't shop. Please help - there are so many homeless pets!
Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma have either confirmed or suspected use; no bans in place!
Success: North Carolina just banned gas chambers on February 15, 2015!
