If you'd like to tell these folks what you think of their actions to stop the gas chamber bill from moving to the House or the Senate for a vote, be my guest: Senator John Bulloch, Chairman of the Senate Ag Committee: arrogantly professed to one of the drafters of the bill that he would kill it because 1) we introduced it too late, 2) our sponsors were no good (an admitted lesbian, a hot head and several bleeding-heart liberals), 3) he's a farmer and a hunter and comes from five generations of farmers and 4) he hates PETA and HSUS. Seriously, no kidding, those were his reasons, and he was not reluctant to share them last Friday. Senator Bulloch's email is: john.bulloch@

senate.ga.gov Representative Gene Maddox, DVM (a goddamn veterinarian! ): Secretary of the House Committee on Agriculture who killed the bill last year because 1) animals don't suffer in the gas chambers, though he never used one in his county's shelter when he was the county's vet, and 2) the AVMA says gas chambers are ok [he refuses to acknowledge that the AVMA says lethal injection is the preferred method and that gas chambers are ok only when operated within certain guidelines; none or very few of GA's chambers are operated within the guidelines, but Maddox won't investigate for himself because he wants to use the AVMA as a scapegoat]. A GA AVMA representative testified today saying that most all vets prefer lethal injection... but GVMA and AVMA won't take an official position on the bill

because they have no jurisdiction or regulatory power over licensed shelters. Dr. Maddox's email is: topdrawer@ mchsi.com Agriculture Commissioner, Tommy Irvin, and his entire staff at GDOA are opposed to the bill to ban the gas chambers. Why??? You tell me. I guess they don't want to have to do any extra work with licensing, inspections, etc. They're just lazy, and Tommy is an arrogant [insert explitive] who thinks he determines everything that happens with animals in the State of Georgia... no animal activists are going to tell him what to do. Commissioner Irvin stood up from the audience at last year's hearing and yelled and pointed his finger at one of the men who testified in favor of the bill, telling him to "go back to Habersham County."

tirvin@ agr.state.ga. us and his loyal assistant Mary Greene: mgreene@ agr.state.ga. us Cindy Wiem, President of the GA Association of Animal Control: testified against the bills at the hearings today because animal control officers need to be able to shoot vicious dogs in the field to protect themselves.

cindywiem@ Carolyn Danese, President of the Humane (yes, "Humane") Association of Georgia (HAGA) who testified against the bill at last year's hearing because, among other ridiculous reasons, the State of Georgia might run out of the lethal injection solution, as she claims it did in 1999.. and who is known for her close relationships with Tommy Irvin and other individuals in the GA Dept of Agriculture. ... and who has not endorsed the bill to ban the gas chambers, yet attended the hearings today.

TO ALL ANIMAL LOVERS.....

 

I just called the 2 state senators office in Georgia imploring them to support and pass on March 12, the Georgia State.. Bill 606 Anti-Gas Chamber Bill which will end euthanizing innocent animals by gassing them to death.. They told they they've received only about 20-30 phone calls so far. Considering how important this bill is for the animals I don't think that number is going to be of any influence in the rigid minds of gov't representatives in supporting and passing this anti-gassing bill..

 

Those 2 simple phone calls may just make the difference for millions of animals suffocating to death in these barbaric gassing facilities.

 

No euthanization method is humane....I PRAY ONE DAY our innocent animals will finally be granted the same rights to their lives as we humans are.

 

PLEASE PLEASE CALL AND CROSSPOST.

Kristy Grieco <kgrieco (AT) bellsouth (DOT) net>Monday, March 9, 2009 11:49:04 PMOUTLAW gas chambers in GA! SIGN THIS PETITION NOW BEFORE IT's TOO LATE!!!! Let's stop this cruel practice of euthanasia.. ......... .......

 

PLEASE NOTE - THE PETITION IS A TWO PART 'SUBMIT' PROCESS -- YOU CLICK ONCE TO 'SIGN' AND THEN YOU NEED TO CLICK ONCE MORE TO 'SEND'----- PLEASE BE SURE TO CLICK TWICE OTHERWISE YOUR SIGNATURE WILL NOT BE ADDED. THANKS!

 

Signatures are needed before 3/12/2009

 

 

 

 

Below is the link to a petition to support Grace's Bill - Georgia House Bill 606 - this is a bill that would outlaw the use of gas chambers for euthanasia by Georgia's animal control facilities.

 

 

 

The bill is named after a dog who survived the horror of an "unsuccessful" gas chamber event.Some try to argue that these gas chambers are a kind and gentle method to euthanize animals - but believe me, it's quite the opposite - it is an excruciating, agonizing, terrifying death for these poor creatures - If you have any doubts about the barbarity of this practice, watch this video: http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=iMR9scfrsx0Only ONE PERCENT of all shelters in the U.S. still use this horrific method (15 shelters in Georgia still use gas chambers). Georgia needs to come into the 21st century,

and MUST stop literally torturing animals to death.

 

Even though this petition is only seeking 1,000 signatures, it's falling short. The petition is being addressed to Representative Tom McCall (404 656 5115) and Representative Ellis Black (404 656 0287) - who have a lot of influence.

 

 

 

Please take a moment to sign the petition and tell these Representives how important it is that this House Bill 606 be passed. Then, please send this email to others (You don't have to be a GA resident to sign the petition and help stop this barbaric and torturous practice).

Hannah Tostensen [gavoters@ darientel. net] Monday, March 09, 2009 9:50 PMUndisclosed RecipientsMacon Telegraph Coverage of Today's Hearings

 

The article below was written by Travis Fain of The Macon Telegraph, who covered the two hearings this morning held at the Capitol on HB 606 and SB 232.

I attended both hearings and, like others in attendance who support a total ban on Georgia’s gas chambers, was disappointed that no action was taken on either the House or the Senate version of the bill.

While it my understanding that neither bill is “dead†and can be reintroduced in the first week of next year’s 2010 legislative session, it is unconscionable that thousands more animals will experience horrific deaths in Georgia gas chambers before January of next year, gasping for their last breaths.

This will be in tomorrow's paper. ANIMAL GAS CHAMBERS BILLS STALL

A pair of bills that would outlaw the gas chamber for stray animals apparently wont' be going anywhere this year.

House Bill 606 and Senate Bill 232 would both outlaw the practice, which is currently used in Macon, statewide. Advocates say it's inhumane, that animals suffer when Carbon Monoxide is used to gas them, and that sometimes they don't even die. They would prefer lethal injections, but that can be more expensive, since doses have to be administered one at a time.

Neither bill has passed committee, though a hearing was held on Senate Bill 232 Monday.

"These animals howl, they scream, they cough, they scratch to try to get out," said Linda Cordry, of Liberty County. One dog that survived the process in Liberty County came out "alive, covered in (vomit), fecal matter and urine," she said.

The bill was heard in the Senate Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee. Chairman John Bulloch said people on both sides of the issue might think it's simple, "but it's not." He said more time was needed to study the issue, and that a bill might move next year, but not this year.

The House version of the bill hasn't been scheduled for a hearing, leaving it one step behind the Senate bill.Macon currently uses the gas chamber, but plans to switch to lethal injections July 1, City Councilman Larry Schlesinger said Monday. Schlesinger attended the Senate committee hearing and said the gas chamber "definitely" should be outlawed statewide.
