Help Shut Down Brutal Gassing Pound in Quebec

Mark your calendars! May 2, 2009 at 1:00 p.m A protest rally at the dog pound of St-Lin, Saint-Lin-Lauren, Quebec.

This dog pound services at least 30 municipalities. Some say no effort is made to find owners of impounded animals.

Others agree tags and collars and other identifying marks are removed to make it impossible for the owners to find their pets. The animals are then brutally killed in gas chambers.

Go here to sign a petition to close this facility: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/animal-advocates-demand-the-closure-of-a-kill-pound-using-the-gas-chamber/

Nicole Joncas, animal advocate and founder of Tejas Animal Refuge, explains, "Everyday dogs and cats are killed in the unsupervised dogs pounds across the nation.

"While the dogs are put in loose, the cats are stuffed into cat carriers.
"The dogs are put into the gas chamber with a long pole and a choker around their necks. The dogs are petrified as they are being swung into the chamber. They cry begging for help. No one is listening. They walk around looking for a way out. They go toward the door where they were put into the chamber. Suddenly they hear a hissing sound .... they look around hoping that someone is coming to take them home. The dogs struggle to stay standing. They go down. They empty their bowels and their bladders. They gasp for breath as the gas is entering their lungs. Ten to fifteen minutes later the dogs are no longer moving. There's no more crying, no groaning no gasping. It's silent in the chamber. The killer gas has done it's ghastly job.
"After some time the one who put them into gas chamber begins to drag their lifeless bodies into the refrigerated container. They are piled one on top of the other. The refrigerator door is closed."

Joncas continues, "The following day, when the refrigerator door Isa opened to bring in the new victims some dogs who had been gassed the day before are seen wagging their tails. These dogs are then put into the incinerator. If they did not die in the gas chamber and they did not die in the refrigerated container, WERE THEY DEAD WHEN THEY WERE PLACED IN THE INCINERATOR?

"Animaquebec, who is mandated to oversee these pounds, has again greatly failed the animals of Quebec. Anyone off the streets can get the job of killing animals in the gas chamber. He's told how to shove them in and how to push the buttons. There is no veterinarian to certify that the animals are dead."
I have the affidavit of a former employee of the dog pound of St-Lin who confirmed that he had no formal training on how to KILL. He was told in effort to cut down the amount of feces and urine in the gas chamber, that the dogs and cats on death row not be fed for the last 3 days of their lives, and to give them only a bit of water. He said this was a directive from Animaquebec.
