gas boxes vrs. injection for euthanize cats
In the news:
Animal lovers protest a Cowichan Valley Pound in order to stop a cruel way to euthanize of cats.
On-line petition has gained more than 1,1000 to stop the use of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide gas.
Public pressure against the use of "gas boxes" to euthanize cats have been successful in the past.
One shelter manager argues that when used properly a "gas box" is more humane than injection. Injection of chemicals can often prove to be too traumatic according Helen Roberts, shelter manager with the Nanaimo Animal Shelter. The gas proves to be an anesthetic.
If cats are clawing and trying to escape that can be 'cause the box wasn't set up properly. It should be pre-filled so that the cat goes unconscious right away.
