City pound removes its gas chamber

[Catherine]

This is worth making note of. The Cameron Animal Shelter finally removed its gas chamber. For years they killed animals in this inhumane way. They finally have admitted that it is outdated and inhumane.
Now we need them to take the next step and become a no kill shelter.

There is another shelter in the area that is no kill that is trying to work with the city to move things in the right direction. They are going to be setting up a bigger shelter. They are working at solving the stray cat problem by spaying and neutering.

Things are changing. There are still "shelters" out there with outdated inhumane methods, but they are being influenced by animal lovers who push for improvements. Some day no city run shelter anywhere will kill hundreds of animals with gas chambers and other cruel methods. Some day all shelters will be no kill.

If the spay and neuter programs are continued and spread to all cities with stray cat problems some day there will not be a stray cat problem. It will take time, but it will happen. It does help if we keep supporting and pushing for the spay neuter programs.
Cities will back programs like this if they think the voters want them.
