NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) - Officials at the New Hanover County animal shelter have decided to stop using carbon monoxide chambers as a method to put animals to sleep.

"Jean and I are both proud to be proactive in doing away with the chamber," said Dr. Bob Weedon.

Some call the euthanasia chambers inhumane, Jean McNeil and Dr. Weedon support using a chamber to euthanize out of control animals.

Since August, staffers have administered sedatives to dangerous dogs before euthanizing them with another injection.

McNeil had a meeting with her staff earlier this week to discuss the progress. She says her staff is comfortable with the technique and feel they don't need a chamber at this point.

The staff will likely sell the chamber, which is valued around $15,000.

The county will also save a few thousand dollars a month, since they will no longer need annual maintenance to rent carbon monoxide tanks.

"Of all the creatures, man is the most detestable. Of the entire

 

brood, he is the only one that possesses malice. He is the only

 

creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. The

 

fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual

 

superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong

 

proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot."--Mark
