Animal activists suing sheriff's office

A pair of animal-rights groups are suing the Union County Sheriff's Office over its use of a gas chamber to euthanize some animals at the county animal shelter. The lawsuit claims the sheriff's office violates N.C. law against cruel treatment of animals by using carbon monoxide gas to kill sick, injured, very old, very young or pregnant animals brought to the shelter in Monroe. Sheriff Eddie Cathey denied his office, which oversees the shelter, has done anything wrong. "The things we are accused of, the violations of statutes, (are) totally untrue," he said. He declined to elaborate, saying he had not been served with the complaint yet. The lawsuit was filed Friday in Union County District Court. The plaintiffs, the N.C. Coalition for Humane Euthanasia and the Humane Society of Union County, say using a gas chamber violates N.C.

I have a sheriff that is our animal enforcement officer.He is a puppet!.We saved a small dog that had been abandoned.Those that abandoned the animal and two others are on the run(warrents for them)They had there grandmother who bought the animal come to court.We were forced to give the animal to her.The judge sentenced it to death.We WERE NOT ALLOWED to PRESENT our side of the CASE.The JUDGE represented the Plaintiff.She asked for money saying we had refused her.The JUDGE changed the way the Affidavitt was written in court for the lady.I had been to the Sheriff,filed complaints,to the DA Larry Grant whom looked me in the eye and said even if I let the Sheriff write up a charge I will not Prosecute any animal charge.This is why we were not allowed to present our case.We have Vets saying abuse occurred.The plaintiff lady (may she rot in hell)lied sio much they ran together.She had not had the animal in nearly 9 months and the Judge had to ID it for her.Corrupt,my God yes corruption runs rampant here.Those that are supposed to support and enforce the laws(even to animals) refuse to do so.I have wriiten the Oklahoma Gov.The Senetor the TV ,the OSBI.No will do anything.Our belief in America has been shattered and those responsable for this tragic event,those that withheld the truth, those that pretend to stand for right shall suffer a vengence that will see the end of there days.Am I angry,I am past angry.I am an American.I believe in the Law and the Constitution says that when those that represent us no longer do so it is not just our right but our duty to rise up and remove those from power.Those that have the animal,I pray they choke on there food every day.She weighed 3.6 lbs when we saved her from the highway,she would pee herself if you moved your hand.She had worms crawling out her anus her right eye was matted shut,she was covered in ticks and fleas and this lady had the nerve to say she had been feeding her every other day.I have exhausted all my means to get the animal back.I am fightind a system of law and government that does not favor those armed with the truth and those that are in the right but rather a gov.that bends to the wicked.My life shall soon be over as I will give it for the cause.But those of you out there should know these names.Steve W.Billy Rosa Counsil,Patricia Counsil.They are animal abusers of the worse kind.Judge Lowwell Burgess.Sheriff Jimmy Duncan,DA,s Laura Wallis and Larry Grant.I do not know what to tell you in your fight with the sheriff but for me the answer is one I have thought hard on.I must sacrifice my life for right and truth.Thats all anyone seems to understand or want to cover these days.Yeah I called and wrote TV..Notta there either..Evil wins all the time,its a sad truth.Our country will fall because of it.I will at least know in my heart I was able to give my life to rid it of a few vermin..I wish you the best of luck..R

Gas chambers are totally inhumane and most states no longer use them for execution of condemned prisoners. It infuriates me that people continue to disregard the fact that animals have feelings such as pain, fear, etc. I wish they could talk (and fight back with lawyers).

In this case the judge was wrong to sentence the animal to death before hearing your side of the story.

i believe that no animal should suffer.i also believe that since our country is ao eager to put an innocent animal to sleep because there's no room for them,why can't we start putting humans who break the law r not welcome back in our sociaty b put to sleep. the same cruel way they do animals. that is justice for me & alot cheaper on the wking tax payers

Recently I wrote a blog entry offering a leftist critique of the ideology of "Green" environmentalism, eco-friendliness, and lifestyle politics in general (veganism, "dumpster diving," "buying organic," etc.). I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the matter and any responses you might have to its criticisms.
