USA: Gassing animals

---Estimated number of cats and dogs euthanized by US shelters each year: 3-4 million (HSUS estimate)---

Petition text*: Videos showing the gassing of pets are heartwrenching to watch.

Some of the larger animals are still alive when they come out of the kill box. They are still breathing, or struggleing to breath.

The animals, cry, scream out loud and claw and climb on top of each other trying to get out.

It is horrific ...
