As a North Carolina resident and a supporter of the American Humane Association, I urge you to support House Bill 6, known as Davie's Law.
Introduced by Rep. Cary Allred, HB 6 would eliminate the use of gas chambers as a method for euthanizing shelter animals by Jan. 1, 2011.
The bill would ensure that North Carolina's unwanted, sick or unadoptable cats and dogs are humanely euthanized by injection instead.
American Humane considers euthanasia by injection of sodium pentobarbital to be the only acceptable and humane means of euthanasia for animals in animal shelters. Currently, 32 shelters in North Carolina use gas as a means of euthanizing their animals. Should the bill pass, American Humane is prepared to support these shelters through their transition to euthanasia by injection.
Please support HB 6 and put an end to gas chambers for shelter animals in North Carolina.

Sincerely
