Remember the dog that survived the gas chamber

As with many things especially today, a band aid can cause more problems that fix.

There are unfortunately many things like this today.

If we outlawed abortion, girls will start dying again from "coat hanger" abortions, and we would have an over abundance of unwanted kids with no solution.

Same could happen with animals. You most likely would see a huge jump in the stray animal population.

So then is it more human to let them die a slow painful death picking scrapes off the streets and disease?

A noble cause to be sure, I am just not sure it is the right answer today.

 Energy maybe better devoted to the root causes of the problem.

But then nn years later there is another problem directly related to the solving of the old problem. We just keep passing the problem along. (can you say Stimulus as an example?)

During the Regan years we gave a bunch of "undocumented workers" citizenship or green cards, whatever, with the promise they would fix the border issue.

Has that been fixed?

So if outlaw the gas chambers, then we could become complacent because we are more "human" now, but the initial problems causing these poor animals to require euthanize has not changed.

So I wonder if we spend the time to accomplish changing out gas chambers, to working the problems of why we have all these animals that need to be killed, would we then be better off in the long run and less euthanize animals would result?

All those animals are in cages so being transferred to a crate is just as boring to them.

You are buying into the human emotion, not the animal emotion.

Spend the time to fixc the cause, and less animals will be euthanize.
