It is fast and easy to do; just write a quick message to a few people asking them to put an end to the killing of pets in gas chambers in Louisiana. All the info you need is right on this web page:
Phone calls are more effective so please also consider make a few quick phone calls.
NOTE: please do this with love in your hearts for these homeless animals. Love is more powerful than hate or anger.
If our shelter pets must die let it be in a more humane way.
Please pass this along and post it everywhere! Myspace, facebook, twitter, blogs, websites, local media! Together we can make a difference. Please take action today!
Like most of the people in our state I care about the pets I have and the homeless pets that end up in our city’s animal control facilities. I would like to see as many of these pets find new homes and leave the shelters alive. But until programs are put into place like low cost and no cost spay and neuter, foster care, offsite adoptions, evening hours, and volunteer programs (to name a few), I also know that the continual flood of animals entering the shelters means that animals will have to be killed.
But if animals are to be killed it should be in the most humane way — euthanasia by injection of sodium pentobarbital, or an alternate oral version of the drug correctly carried out. The use of gas in gas chambers to kill shelter animals needs to end now.
Governments are put into place to be of service to the people and if you did a poll you would find that most people would prefer that the animal control facilities do a much better job of rehoming homeless pets and if they must die then they wish that their deaths be as painless and free of stress as possible.
As a tax payer I do NOT want my tax money spent for needless animal suffering through the use of gas chambers when there is a more humane way. Since lethal injection is the method used in all veterinarians’ offices to end a pet’s life, and is recommended by all national humane organizations in the America as the most humane, least stressful, safest, and most cost effective it should be the only allowable method to kill pets in our state’s animal control system.
As public servants it is the duty of government officials to strongly consider the will of the public in all matters. Note that across America the outcry to do away with the gassing of shelter pets is growing ever louder. I am adding my voice to theirs and ask that you hear me.
I chose to be the voice of the voiceless and beg that the use of gas chambers be outlawed for the state of Louisiana.
“In this country tax-payers spend $1 billion dollars annually to pick up, house, and euthanize homeless animals. If only 5% of that total were allocated to spay/neuter programs, we could open 250 public, low-cost spay/neuter clinics across the country and sterilize more than $4 million animals each year.” – ryannewmanfoundation.org/news

Help stop the gassing of shelter animals in the state of Louisiana
Some animal shelters in Louisiana still use the gas chamber to kill unwanted pets even though most people feel that it is much more inhumane than lethal injection.
You can help ban the use of gas chambers in Louisiana!
If there is one thing you do in the following days that can make a huge difference to the way shelter animals die in Louisiana, this is it. Until we can put a stop to the killing at lease let us join together and help make the killing more humane.
The dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens in the animal shelters deserve a kinder way to leave this earth. Please share this info with everyone you can. Even people without pets would like to see them suffer less. Please I am begging you to help.

I received the following email message on the gassing of pets in Louisiana:
A big Thank You to all who made calls, on behalf of the animals at Vermilion Parish Rabies Control. As most of you know, they really do not care about what is happening at this facility ~ their repeated comments were that they are abiding by the state law.
So this brought us to what we need to do next ~ WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE STATE LAW CONCERNING THE USE OF GAS CHAMBERS!
Call to Action: Send Messages to Louisiana State Officials on September 1st
I’m asking all of you, to once again, come together in unity and send messages to Louisiana State Officials that we need to ban the use of gas chambers, once and for all!! Please start thinking of what you’d like to express (please no profanity) and then wait until Tuesday, September 1st to send it. I think that if we all send it on the same day our outrage will be noticed! If any of you have friends in the media or press pass this on to them too! (post to your websites – facebook, twitter, myspace, petfinder site, etc…) We can’t continue “to not do anything”.
Sample letter to send: Please reword it for the most impact.
Dear State of Louisiana Officials,
There is an issue at hand that needs immediate attention, it is concerning the way in which we discard animals who are left homeless, for one reason or another, and end up in rabies control or animal shelters and killed by the use of a gas chamber.
Most of you know that animals bring so much to our lives~there are police dogs who serve, seeing eye dogs who give the blind their independence, therapy dogs who give hope to those who have none, and company to those who are homebound or elderly~and what do we do when they are homeless?
We toss them into a gas chamber, turn it on and then 20-30 minutes later we discard their bodies in a landfill. Have we lost sense of reality, and compassion, or are we so desensitized to what is happening?
A small rabies control facility in Vermilion parish has been killing animals in a chamber that is broken! They are having to use a screwdriver to keep the door shut, and the animals are having to endure two cycles to finally succumb to their death. IS THIS APPROPRIATE TO YOU? How many facilities are operating this way?
The animals can’t speak, so how do you know? I’m asking you to BAN THE GAS CHAMBER IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA! If animals have to die, shouldn’t we do it with some compassion, don’t they at least deserve this? The injectable euthanasia is a faster, more humane way to let them go. While we strive for no killings at all, this is a better alternative and the cost is the same.
Clearly we have a choice, we do not have to torture animals in gas chambers. Louisiana can make a positive move on behalf of the animals, Please BAN THE GAS CHAMBERS!
Also remember the Attorney General- James Caldwell at AdminInfo@ag.state.la.us ; Secretary of State – Jay Dardenne at admin@sos.louisiana.gov ; Page Cortez at cortez@legis.state.la.us ; David Vitter at http://vitter.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.ContactForm ; Mike Michot at lasen23@legis.state.la.us ; Charles Boustany at la07ima@mail.house.gov ; Deputy Legislative Director at nicholas.cahanin@la.gov
Here are all of the emails in a row for easy copy and paste into an email (but it is better to send them one at a time and address them to each person). Also note that it has been found to be more effective to print out and send a paper letter by mail or make a phone call. Why? Because these require more effort on your part and the officials know most people will not go to this trouble — so it has more impact.
THERE ARE SO MANY YOU CAN CONTACT ~ please don’t stop now, make a call, or two, and send emails to BAN THE GAS CHAMBER!!!!!! PLEASE wait until Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 1st ~ Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 1st ~ Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 1st
~Let’s come together again in memory of Kiddo & Friends! They suffered unnecessarily………….surely we can spend a little time emailing for them?
Find and count yourself; I have seen these #’s:
14 states mandate injection
13 ban gas
These still use gas: LA, OH, AL GA, NC, IL, KY, MS, OK, SC, TX, WV (all small population states except TX).
I got this (typed) info last year, so may change.
Virginia has banned gas chambers, (search line says also NY and CA, but I can’t find that) http://www.animallawcoalition.com/gas-chambers/article/350
The cost analysis done by the Humane Society of the United States revealed:
Cost per animal with Carbon Monoxide is $1.323 per animal
Cost per year with Carbon Monoxide: $13,230
Cost per animal with Sodium Pentobarbital is $1.27
Cost per year with Sodium Pentobarbital is $12,700
The costs per year were based on euthanasia of 10,000 animals per year. All costs, including labor and supplies have been included. My source of information is the Humane Society of the United States Euthanasia Training Manual referenced from pages 127 – 129.

Rabies Control in Vermilion Parish, LA. — just know I care…
Just thought I should contact you and let you know that I care about the homeless animals in Vermilion and hope that you will see that people love pets and wish that you would do better and help them more. And yes it is possible to save more pets.
Other animal controls have learned to improve and save more pet lives. It can be done with leaders that believe it and work at it. Please consider the wishes of the people of your parish and know that improvement is possible with the will to do so. May one day you find this will.

Subject: setting the record straight
To whom it may or may not concern,
Brief Statement:
I am Melissa, the Director of Vermilion Parish Rabies/Animal Control for those that are unaware. I have been at my job for 4 months now and in light of the circumstances I wanted to give this brief statement and then continue with regular business.
I do not want anything to overshadow what has been accomplished at Rabies/Animal Control. We all love animals and show every animal that comes in the respect he/she deserves. We are all compassionate, caring and have a tough job. Our job is not easy and when rumors/falsehoods are put out there the only thing I can say is come talk to me and get the right message. We do not have an In-House adoption program but we do have an agreement with Animal Aid for Vermilion Area. Animal Aid has every opportunity to pick over the dogs and cats, they deem adoptable and have them pulled to their cages, that I have designated for that purpose. I have held dogs for them but it is their responsibility to make sure to inform me if there are any to be moved.(NOT my staff) In the future I want all adoptable animals to be pulled in writing.
We are finishing the room that will be used for Lethal injection. Scott has his certificate and I just got back from training on Aug 3 and 4 for my certification. We need an exam table and supplies.
The sink that was approved of for dish washing will be in tomorrow and now we can be more efficient at our daily duties. The building had so many projects when I first started that I am trying to get everything done but it will be at my pace since I am the one making sure it gets done.
When Mr. Jeff Dorson came in, it was under false pretences but when I finally got the truth from him I still gave him a transparent tour. If it had not been for the tour I gave him he would not have had any pictures. I was unaware that is was out to get the Police and he knew that. I showed him the things I liked, didn’t like and the improvements that I along with the Police Jury’s permission would take care of. Please don’t let the actions of an individual such as this affect your perceptions of our facility.
Please post a link to this web page to your facebook, twitter, blogs, petfinder site, and any other place on the Internet and spread the news by emails and egroups too! Here is the short link to this page: End Gas Chambers for Shelter Pets in Louisiana http://wp.me/pc4ch-5B
Racheal Sance, a pet rescuer sent me this writing in an email and I was so moved by it that I did a search for it online to see if I could post it to my blog. I found posted on House Rabbit Society’s website on this web page: http://www.rabbit.org/adoption/saying-goodbye.html I emailed them and received permission to repost it here. It is a sad story, but one we all need to read and pass on.
Adopt A Mutt!
The note from Racheal’s email: I’m not sure who Amy Espie is but I’ve experienced this so many times working at TPAC. It’s heartbreaking, if you put yourself in this persons shoes maybe you’ll see… maybe it’ll make just one person realize how terrible it is everyday for so many beautiful, intelligent, deserving but unwanted animals. And maybe if people stop to think they’ll see that this is in every shelter, tens of thousands of shelters all across our country every single day and even if just one person here and there decides to spay and neuter maybe we can save some lives…..
Sunday. A friend and I take our dogs for a run in the park. The late-afternoon sunlight is pure gold, and a fresh breeze rustles the tall grass. A family approaches us on the trail: a man, woman, and two small boys. They are accompanied by a large tan dog with the distended nipples of motherhood and an adorable pup who looks just like his mom. The pup pesters his mom, taking five steps for every one of hers. She patiently tolerates his rambunctiousness.
It’s a heartwarming scene that totally depresses me.
What has happened to me? I love dogs. I love puppies. And yet the sight of puppies makes me sad. Every time I see or hear of a litter of kittens or pups, I also see cages full of homeless ones and the bins full of dead ones at the shelter where I work.
Monday. It’s 8 PM, time to go home. I walk past the cages in the Stray Cat Room. A calico cat and her two kittens sit quietly on the shelf in their cage. The mother grooms one of the kittens. A pink card attached to the cage tells me it’s time to say goodbye to these three. I feel the familiar mixture of sadness, anger, and bitterness.
A huddled gray ball of fur in an adjoining cage catches my eye. In the farthest corner of her cage, a bedraggled cat hides her head under a sheet of newspaper. I peer between the bars. “Hi, Kitty,” I say softly. “Are you totally miserable? I don’t blame you.” I chatter on, more for my own benefit than for hers. I put some treats into her bowl and leave.
Tuesday. A small, frightened black rabbit is rescued from a cellar by one of our Humane Officers. That evening she gives birth to five babies. Four days later, when her stray period is up, the babies are injected with sodium pentobarbital. A few seconds later, they are dead. The mother is put up for adoption.
Gray Cat clings to her corner, still facing the wall. I notice that she’s eaten the treats I left, which encourages me. I talk to her again. “I know it’s hard to believe, but actually you’re pretty lucky. Decent food, a clean litter box, people who care about you; and, with a little luck, one special person to appreciate and adore you forever.” Gray Cat is not impressed.
Wednesday. I talk to the people in my dog-training class about spaying and neutering. “Of the ten million dogs and cats who are killed every year at animal shelters in the US, nearly three million are purebreds,” I explain. “And the other seven million had a purebred in their very recent past. Stand at our front counter any day of the week and you will hear the same stories again and again: ‘We’re moving’; ‘The landlord says no’; ‘He barks and the neighbors called the cops on us’; ‘She messes in the house.’ An expensive dog with a behavior problem is just as disposable as an all-American mutt.
“Spend a day at the shelter and you’ll also hear the repertoire of reasons people give for not having their animals spayed or neutered: ‘We want the children to experience the miracle of birth’; ‘Neutering is unnatural’; ‘It’s cruel’; “I wouldn’t want anyone to do it to me’; ‘My cat is from champion stock’; ‘We’ve already got homes lined up for all the babies.’ But try to explain these reasons to a loving, beautiful animal (or even an ill-tempered, homely one) whose time is up, who is receiving a death sentence when his only crime is that some human let him be born instead of facing the reality of the overpopulation disaster. I’ve never heard a rationalization that didn’t fade into nothing in the face of even one death.”
On my way out, I stop at Gray Cat’s cage again. “Hi, Gray C. Still memorizing that bit of wall, I see.” A miracle! She turns and looks at me. Her emerald eyes size me up. Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but she seems a little less frightened, her body a shade more relaxed. “Listen,” I tell her, “you’ve probably met some pretty unevolved humans out there. We’re not all like that. Give us another chance, okay?” She blinks dubiously. This is progress.
Thursday. The animal care technicians at the shelter are the bravest people in the world. I watch them scrub kennels and clean litter boxes. I see them take a moment to play with a kitten or hold a lonely pup. I hear them calm the frightened ones with a gentle word. And every now and then I force myself to witness what they must face every day. That same dog who they cared for, petted, and talked to must finally be given the only thing we have left to offer: a gentle, respectful death. What have we come to when the best we can do is to kill them kindly?
Jim puts a leash on the Labrador retriever. She cowers in the back of the kennel, tail between her legs. He tugs on the leash. She whimpers and crouches down lower. He kneels beside her. “It’s okay, pup. Don’t be scared.” She stops whimpering but won’t move. He scoops her up in his arms and carries her to the Euthanasia Room. She’s been at the shelter for two weeks. She’s so frightened that all she does is lie in the corner. No one wants her. Now she will die. Carol holds her while Jim shaves a small patch of fur from her leg. She is quiet and trembling. Jim continues to talk to her. He gives her the injection. She slumps onto the table. Carol carries her body to the Chill Room and adds it to the pile.
In the Cat Room, Gray Cat is sitting in her usual corner, but she’s not facing the wall today. The room is noisy. Adorable kittens fill row upon row of cages. Friendly adult cats come forward, asking for attention. I open her cage to give her a treat. “It isn’t fair,” I tell her. “You have every right to distrust people, but if you don’t act adoptable, how can you compete with all these other cats?” I reach my hand closer to her. I touch her. She lets me! I thank her.
Friday. At home, a veterinary clinic calls me to find out if I have room for another unwanted. The owners brought a young mini-lop in to be euthanized. Why? They’re moving out of state. They don’t want to take the rabbit. They haven’t found any friend who will take him, and they don’t want “a bunch of strangers” coming to their house to see the rabbit.
When I get to work, Gray C. is not in her cage. I look everywhere. I try not to be too hopeful. I tell myself, Don’t pursue it. I ignore my own good advice. I go to the Chill Room. She is there, in one of the bins, her body curled up against that of a terrier. I touch her, for the second and last time. Her body is getting cold. She is gone. I mourn her. But who will mourn the calico kitten underneath her, and the angora rabbit in the next bin? Who will mourn all ten million of them, one by one?
Please visit the House Rabbit Society website. Dogs and cats are not the only animal dieing in our animal shelters.
‘Tis the night before Christmas and all through the town,
every shelter is full – we are lost but not found,
Our numbers are hung on our kennels so bare,
we hope every minute that someone will care.
They’ll come to adopt us and give us the call,
Come here, Max and Sparkie – come fetch your new ball!
But now we sit here and think of the days..
we were treated so fondly – we had cute, baby ways.
Once we were little, then we grew and we grew -
now we’re no longer young and we’re no longer new.
So out the back door we were thrown like the trash,
they reacted so quickly – why were they so rash?
We jump on the children, don’t come when they call,
we bark when they leave us, climb over the wall.
We should have been neutered, we should have been spayed,
now we suffer the consequence of the errors THEY made.
If only they’d trained us, if only we knew…
we’d have done what they asked us and worshiped them too.
We were left in the backyard, or – worse – left to roam
now we’re tired and lonely and out of a home
They dropped us off here and they kissed us good-bye…
“Maybe someone else will give you a try.”
So now here we are, all confused and alone…
in a shelter with others who long for a home.
The kind workers come through with a meal and a pat,
with so many to care for, they can’t stay to chat,
They move to the next kennel, giving each of us cheer…
we know that they wonder how long we’ll be here.
We lay down to sleep and sweet dreams fill our heads..
of a home filled with love and our own cozy beds.
Then we wake to see sad eyes, brimming with tears –
our friends filled with emptiness, worry, and fear.
If you can’t adopt us and there’s no room at the Inn –
could you help with the bills and fill our food bin?
We count on your kindness each day of the year –
can you give more than hope to everyone here?
Please make a donation to pay for the heat…
and help get us something special to eat.
The shelter that cares for us wants us to live,
and more of us will, if more people will give.
Please consider giving generously to your local animal shelter, rescue group, or humane organization. Donations of pet food, supplies, your time, or your money is so welcome at this holiday season and year round.
Tangi Humane Society has new chain link kennels and now needs a cement slab for them
A concerned Tangipahoa citizen donated twenty new chain link kennels to Tangi Humane for their rescue animal shelter. Now they need a cement slab to sit them on. A slab of the size they need will run about $4000.00 so donations of goods and money is needed.
“Our next step is to raise the funds or supplies needed for a cement slab to go under the kennels,” President Randy Stegall said. “Placing the kennels on a slab is the best way to provide our rescued animals with a clean and sanitary living environment.”
“We would greatly appreciate donations of needed materials (approximately 16 cubic yards of cement, plus framing), help from experienced cement workers, or monetary donations to pay for the slab,” he said.
Adopt A Mutt!
Tangi Humane is an all-volunteer no-kill animal rescue relying on donations from the Tangipahoa Parish community to provide services and shelter to animals in need. All funds raised are used to care for and protect local animals.

Only nine dogs and puppies survived the Hammond shelter killings
Please say a prayer for the ones that didn’t make it out that animal shelter alive on August 4th.
Donations are needed for the rescued dogs and puppies
Friends of the Shelter has established a special fund for the eight dogs and puppies saved from the killing at the shelter on August 4, 2008. Tangi Adopt A Rescue (TAAR) a Tangipahoa Parish animal rescue groups has the animals in their care.
Money is needed to help pay for their care and vet costs. Also please consider helping by becoming a foster mom to one of our pets up for adoption.
Pet Adoption – Adopt one!
These dogs and puppies will be available for adoption after about a 2-3 week quarantine time and another veterinarian health check or two. All will be Spay and Neutered of course! If people spayed and neutered their pets then there would NOT have been 176 animals in the shelter to kill that day.

A very sad story: Monday, August 4, approximately 170 dogs and cats were euthanized at the Tangipahoa Parish Animal Shelter. Tangipahoa Parish is just northeast of New Orleans; the shelter is located in Hammond, LA.
The news of the euthanasia had quickly spread among animal welfare activists and rescuer across the state. People involved with the shelter through rescue volunteer work, as well as former shelter employees, immediately responded with outrage and skepticism of the shelter’s account of the situation. An appeal was made to the news media to investigate and uncover the details.

About 170 dogs and cats were euthanized Monday at the Tangipahoa Parish Animal Shelter.
…Tangipohoa Animal Rescue worker Barbara Jaeger says the mass euthanasia was completely unnecessary. “I mean I can see euthanizing some that are sick and suffering that should be done but to just euthanize everything in there and we could have found rescue groups to help place them if they were over crowding. It was treatable…
All of the rescued dogs/puppies were vet checked today and so far they look pretty good – none are deadly sick yet – worms, kennel cough, and other treatable minor problems so far.
Tangipahoa Parish Animal Shelter is a governmental agency under the Tangipahoa Parish Council. We protect animals and people throughout Tangipahoa Parish by enforcing city, parish & state laws.

The historic website www.DogsInDanger.com is featured in next week’s edition of People Magazine, on newsstands this Sunday, March 1st. People Magazine has 40 million readers, more than all the major television news networks combined.
After its launch a few months ago being reported by hundreds of television and newspaper reports, over 330 animal control agencies in the country now utilize it as a
specialized “adoption portal” only for animal control shelters.
WE URGE YOU to take a copy of People magazine to your local animal control agency shelter or municipal animal pound and demand that they register and start posting their dogs. After all, it is all free, and who can argue against saving lives and governmental monies!
Founded by the brother of Companion Animal Network Executive Director Garo Alexanian after a successful pilot website created by C.A.N. for NY City Animal Control, over 3,600 adoptions of dogs on death row have occurred through www.DogsInDanger.com in the few months it has been in existence.
Four servers have been placed online to handle the expected overwhelming public reaction. It is our way of telling the nation that SHELTER ANIMALS MUST BE GIVEN ADOPTION PRIORITY BY THE PUBLIC.
Thank you for being the voice of those who are dying every day because people are simply unaware that animals are being killed in their community due to people buying and breeding.
