Animal Rights Activists Suing Union County Sheriff’s Office

MONROE, N.C. -- A lawsuit filed in Monroe on Friday asks a judge to stop Union County's animal shelter from killing young, geriatric, injured, sick or pregnant animals in its gas chamber. �We hope to stop the inhumane euthanasia of defenseless animals,� said Sue Ratliff, head of the Humane Society of Union County. Her group and another, the North Carolina Coalition for Humane Euthanasia, are suing Union County. They support lethal injections for euthanasia. Their attorney, Rodney Alexander, said many of the deaths in Union County's gas chamber violate state law. �Union County's sheriff's department, based on documents we've received from them, is euthanizing young, sick, injured, old and pregnant animals in the gas chamber,� Alexander said. �We believe that it's against the law.

ok my comment has to do with animal testing..people say animal testing will help us and it is needed well i got some news for all those people out there who think tht. animal testing is a cruel puishment for poor helpless animals so humanbeings can be satisfied with things like covergirl makeup and pringles we dont NEED makeup or pringles wich infact are one of the foods tht contribute to makeing americans obese. i think we need to put are foot down and stop this NOW if u really think about it it is abuse because animals are in most cases not given pain killers and are USED for human satisfaction not necessary items in most cases. its is cruel for example dogs are kept in cages and not let out and can be in there for many years and have not vet care or interaction. and animals in the pound tht are euthanized each year are put down for tht exact reason....maybe if we buy non animal tested products we wont cause as much suffering for these animals and products might be cheaper because when we buy producst made by covergirl some of tht money is probaly going to the testing of animals!!!! so we need to put our foot down and STOP THIS CRISIS! i hope this is reconized so people can seee wht suffering and pain these animals go through!

Do animal rights activists and vegans tend to be pro-life?
I support animal rights, and I'm also against abortion, especially partial birth abortion. In cases of rape and/or incest, a D&C can be done immediately afterwards. The pain and suffering inflicted onto helpless animals must stop, and the painful deaths inflicted onto human fetuses also must stop. Few can deny that many human fetuses feel pain when their skulls are punctured in preparation for the suction instrument that removes their brains. Do most animal rights activists and vegans tend to be pro-life? It would definitely make logical sense.

It's a helpless feeling when you're looking at the damage some insect or disease has done in your garden. There's not much to be done after the fact, except learn from it and keep it from happening again. Can pests be managed and controlled?
