Your voice is needed on Tuesday, April 21 for the NC Gas Chamber Ban Call-In day.
The animals need you to pick up the phone and make a call on their behalf. It will take only a few minutes and after you're done you can know that this simple act will help make a difference.

The House Bill 6 / Senate Bill 199 (Davies Law) that bans gas chambers is in danger of not passing. We need you to call in and thank Governor Beverly Perdue for her past support of the ban on gas chambers in North Carolina and ask her to make HER voice heard now and keep her campaign promise to end gas chambers in North Carolina.

Sept. 29, 2008 Perdue Statement on Animal Treatment
As governor, Bev will work to ensure that animal shelters across the state use injection as the only method of euthanasia and will support legislation requiring its use and prohibiting other methods. It is the only way to guarantee that animals and shelter workers are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Ask Governor Perdue to call on NC legislators to pass House Bill 6 / Senate Bill 199 (Davies Law) that bans gas chambers and allows only injection for euthanasia. This law ensures that:

* Shelter animals will have a more humane, peaceful death.
* Shelter workers will be protected from the harmful exposure to carbon monoxide.
* Taxpayers will save money as gas chambers are more costly to operate and maintain.

How to Contact Governor Bev Perdue:
Go to http://www.governor.state.nc.us/ and click on contact us. Complete the form, asking the Governor to support House Bill 6 / Senate Bill 199.

* Raleigh Office and Tollfree number: (800) 662-7952 or (919) 733-2391
* Eastern Office in New Bern: (252) 514-4825
* Western Office in Asheville: (828) 251-6160
* Piedmont Office in Charlotte: (704) 330-5290

On Tuesday, April 21, lets flood the Governors office with calls and e-mails with the message to end gas chambers in our animal shelters! Dont forget to say thank you for her support!

Vfem, please don't be offended by my saying this, but as BYC and SS are *so* divisively political, wouldn't it be nice if TEG could be a nice little oasis of calm, without non-gardening-related issues being brought in to start arguments? I can see discussing things like climate change or regulation of organic practices or suchlike, but this is really pretty totally non garden related...

Just one person's opinion,

Pat, who does support the intent of that bill, just really really tired of all the grandstanding and hysterics that sort of thing seems to lead to on the sister sites...

I just saw this more on animal saving since its sponsered by the SPCA. As for outstanding political issues, I try to stay away from so I understand. I just thought anyone local who the issue may touch may like to know.

It is amazing just how political a conversation can become though... such as the white house garden thread.

I thought this would be a bit more of a subdued subject as it only affects NC animals. I didn't even think there would be a response. :/
