  • @EXCEED1111@ Hey um.. I dont mean to fuel this argument even more... (i apologise if there are spelling mistakes - im dyslexic) but why do you think all dogs should be killed? Yeah we live in a free country, but this video is bound to have all sorts of dog lovers like me upset and angry! So maybe your comment "Dogs should be killed" wasnt the best thing to put on here! It isnt fair - i dont agree with killing dogs/cats x

  • hey douche bag its called the internet i dont have to spell things right ya stupid fag but i can spell right in real life so how bout u go fuck off bitch

  • i dont need to because my ability to write in real life EXCEEDS yours ....fucking douche bag

  • No, You should do. In fact, You wrote broken sentence without grammer.

    You can't tell it in spite of it. Go back

    to school again.

  • look fag idc i know how to write in real life you ignorant piece of shit so how bout You go back to school

  • If a dog should be killed it should be loved to death :_(

  • omg i was in tears... the gassing, and animal testing must stop!

  • Il faut faire fermer les chambres à gaz au Canada, honte au Canada!

  • The dogs in these photos are almost all young and healthy...

  • ANOTHER THING THAT NEEDS TO STOP IS the animals that are injected with pentobarbital being rendered for cat and dog food!

  • Comment removed

  • poor little dogs they are so cute

  • I would like to thank all of you for your comments. Amazing how much I have grown in just a few short years.

  • Every time I see cats, dogs, puppies, kittens put in cages, it saddens me...how do we love indeed.

  • If every person on the planet, stop for a moment, and think about the pain those animals are enduring, and imagine they are having the same pain, maybe, the suffering will stop...People have to be more aware of the consequence of breeding and discarding a nimals, whatever the reason is...Be more responsible....That's the word...Responsibility...

  • agreed. and thanks for your comment.

  • I only wish people were half as concerned about Wildlife Damage Control and "Critter Getters" gassing them and drowning them by inhumane crude cruel methods........they have just as many feelings as your pets do.........and as cats do.........skunks, raccoons, opposums, like their lives don't matter and cats do?

  • They all matter. All creatures great or small. This is just one small fight.

  • I know... I think that most people don't know about wildlife being gassed... they think it's only cats and dogs... I care about them all.

  • It is up to each and every one of us to educate the public about ALL cruelty to ALL animals. If you think you know something that other people are not aware of, you should take a stance and spread the word verbally or by setting up a petition on Care2. Once you start this, you will be amazed how fast the word will travel. We need more people to act.

  • 1Blarney and I (and a few other good souls) are in Chemainus tomorrow educating the public by leafleting. When council fails to take notice, perhaps the public won't. We're all voters. If you aren't sure how to begin to address this issue in your community reach out to the internet community. You'd be surprised how many people can help you to end this atrocity in your region.

    In peace.

  • We all have a responsibility to act for ending animal cruelty .... Quebec has a very bad reputation in animal cruelty...We need to act fast!!!

    Thank everybody who does something for stopping the violence!!!

  • We will succeed in our mission against all animal cruelty, if all people join together and be soldiers in our army of non-radical activists.

    We need you and the animals need you. So, come one & all - Fight for the helpless victims and speak for those whose cries are not heard.

    Thank You!

    Carol, Montreal, QC. Canada

  • Have faith and this is for all animals that are Gassed it must be and will be stopped. Keep the Faith! With love from Carol:)

  • I fear that it will be many.

    Duncan and North Cowichan in British Columbia are voting on gassing soon in July.

  • I have a question? 

    Where else are there gas boxes in Canada?

  • This would probably require a call to every single animal control facility across the country.

  • I believe many people will post it here who know already.

    Yes Justice, that does mean making those calls. It's something that never used to occur to us before.

  • Yes, how many other places gas animals in Canada?????

  • We are better than this Canada. Stop gassing dogs. After all they have been through, they deserve better. If they must be euthenized, they deserve a painless, humane death.

  • Let's hope it comes to pass.

  • This is the 21st century. That we are still allowing the gassing of any animal in Canada is unspeakable.

    Please write the mayors and council members and request euthanasia by injection! It's so much faster and less stressful on the cats. If they must die, it needs to be done with compassion and caring. Not by "tanking" as its called.

    Vicki Boutilier

  • Brilliant!

  • Gassing is cruel!

    Why can't they put them to sleep by injection?

    Or even better, people should stop breeding and buying from pet shops and adopt from shelters instead.

  • In a lot of places they will leave it to the pound to do as they want. And that is not challenged at all. 

    Now the pound contractor in our area and the methods they use are being challenged.

    Please open the side bar, copy their emails and send them a polite email and tell them that they should be using sedation prior to euthanization for the cats like they do for their dogs.

  • I wonder about that too polar cat, especially since that is the way vets do it. If gassing was really ok and humane, then vets would be doing it.

    But they don't. That says a lot, doesn't it?

  • Once lawmakers make the decision to Stop The Gassing, the three pronged approach is put into place, which is low-cost spay/neutering programs, education, and embracing fosters and rescues. And Adoption rates go up, less animals are surrendered, simply because people experience an awakening and begin to care.

  • There are two mayors and council who are deciding in the month of July whether to get rid of the gas box and take the cats to the vet for injection as they do for the dogs. They can do that till they are trained to do it themselves.

    Please write mayor and council

  • Your dedication is amazing. Here are the current honors:

  • I believe in large animals are euthanized because they've been wronged by humans who do not spay and neuter or who do not committ to their pet for life. Let's make this right by giving them the opportunity to die humanely.

    Darlene from Duncan

  • That's why we are helping you in Duncan Feline Friend. Cats are sentient being too and deserve the same compassion.

  • Are the people who live in these communities aware of what is going on in their own back yards? Why is it okay to humanely euthenize dogs in some of those shelters but not cats? Cats are loving members of our families and provide unconditional love. What a horrific way to repay them for loving us. For those that know what is going on & prefer to save money...I say shame on all of you! All Canadians need to say no to gassing any cat, dog or animal that has no home no matter what the cost!

  • Sparky, Almost 10 years ago these communities found out about the electrothinator and all the complaints and media attention descended on it. Maybe they do no know about the gas box. You've made an excellent point Sparky. Email them at the addresses on the side. In Duncan, call 1-250-746-3100 and ask for the mayor's office. They open at 9:00 am PST

  • Hello everyone. Congratulations on your hard work and dedication regarding the plight of animals in Canada. Here are your results:

  • very powerful video indeed in my country if this ha[ppend there would be a public outcry lets hope the people of canada put an end to this evil practice forever

  • WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU IN 7 WOLFS?

  • im from england

  • Welcome, 7wolfs of the U.K. Thank you for your comment.

  • your welcome

  • It's very unfortunate that Coastal only chooses to take dogs to the vet for lethal injection.

    Do the public know, when they drop their cats off there for euthanasia.. that they die in a chamber filled with CO2 gas? I don't think so.

    The public more than likely didn't know at Nanaimo either. Terrible.

    Have they offered to step up and get rid of the gas box? No.

    Certainly not the most proactive people in animal

    care.

    Vicki Boutilier

  • Gassing is legal in Canada. This needs to be changed. Mandatory S/N laws and BREEDING laws need to change. Bringing more animals into the world for money,bumping the old ones out and then killing the discarded ones as cheaply as possible. If death has to happen it should be 'A HUMANE DEATH AT THE HANDS OF HUMANS". Duncan and North Cowichan need to move forward and change their inhumane killing practices. CO2 burns/stings, makes an animal fight for air to the point of injury before death.

  • YET ANOTHER HUMAN FAIL: We befriended these creatures centuries ago then proceeded to fail to take care of them. This is the ultimate betrayal of trust, they are so willing to give us their unconditional love.

    MANDATORY SPAY/NEUTER laws must come into effect to make up for the sins of the past.

  • We need help your help desperately for Duncan & North Cowichan. In July, these 2 places will decide about destroying cats in the gas box. PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO COPY AND PASTE THE EMAILS IN THE SIDEBAR ON THE RIGHT. SEND A POLITE NOTE TO "MAYOR AND COUNCIL" TELLING THEM YOU WANT THEM TO STOP USING THE GAS BOX . I can tell you that it is this ACTION STEP we need. Please! I believe any animal lover of cats, dogs any living thing will help us and write. I don't know what more to say....

  • Duncan and North Cowichan allow dogs to be euthanized by lethal injection by the contractor - BUT Cats are Gassed. We Need your help to bring the message to these two communities that Cats should be afforded the same treatment as dogs. Even though gassing is legal - its NOT right. As Blarney said - please copy and paste the mayor and council and let them know its NOT OK to Gas Cats

    If they must be euthanized, then do it humanely.

  • We need to address the cause as to why so many animals around the world are killed because they are unwanted. I do not endorse that any animal should be killed due to being unwanted but do agree that Gas Chambers should be banned as a form of euthanasia.

  • How many causes are there? Apathy, greed, pride are just three.

  • MANDATORY SPAY/NEUTER FOR THE ENTIRE USA WILL STOP THIS OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM. Killing animals for lack of a home will never be the answer....... How sick that we do it at all. Regardless of using gas- a needle or heartstick...euthanasia is NOT the answer.

  • You bet grinningdoggy. I hate to think how many animals killed don't make to their first year.

    They're babies for God's sake!

  • Yes! I know this is horribly true. BORN TO DIE PETS is what we call them. Puppies barely weeks old- murdered. All of the animals killed are TOTALLY INNOCENT.

    This happens in Canada- the USA and around the globe in various forms. Enough is enough. Even if we do get more no-kill shelters( which is great) even they will run out of room if we do not get a handle on the over- population issue. WE NEED TO MAKE SPAY/NEUTER A LAW everywhere possible or this nightmare will never end.

    :-(

  • and.....the gassing of young kittens and puppies should not be done. They suffocate more slowly as their lungs are not developed. Did you know that?

  • People must neuter their animals .. there is no excuse !

  • I agree neesan. That is one important way to reduce the number of animal killed for lack of a home.

  • You said it all.. please spread around for more people to see what we can do to help!!!

  • I can't link the BC gassing petition as you have said Gisele, but for anyone looking for it.. go to Google - type in 'stop cats from being gassed' and the GoPetition has been right at the top of the search.

    It's called 'Stop Cats From Being Gassed to Death at Coastal Animal Services'. Please sign and forward everyone to help get the word out.

    Thank-you!

  • I need to thank and recognize that the rescue and shelter/pound photos used were taken by Carol Bowman-Henderson, Pet Rescue by Judy, Southeast Border Collie Rescue, Jackie Schwing, (and some by me). A picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you everyone.

  • In a perfect world, we could save them all.

  • Unfortunately its a neverending problem - some people just are not responsible for their pets.

  • Good Day Everyone. We went from #46 to #11 Most Viewed. Thanks for your interest and support for the animals!

    TheDogLiberator

  • That can mean only one thing dogliberator.......that people do care and are mad enough to do something about it.

  • Agreed, that's the name of my website, but youtube does not allow links to be posted in a comment! I've worked hard for many causes, including Wisconsin, New Mexico, Florida, Georgia, and Denver. All of it is volunteer work on my part. I feel great sadness doing these videos, yet great joy when I watch the outcome unfold.

    ~Gisele

  • Thank you for this wonderful tribute to all those lost souls who have been alsughtered in Canada's horrific gas chambers! This holocaust involving the senseless murder of healthy, sentient beings puts the killers in the same class as those who destroyed innocent lives in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. Think about it, this is an "Eternal Treblinka"!

  • You are welcome!

    ~Gisele

  • Thank you for saying that. I saw a video of gassing once and it is seared into my mind forever. It was the sounds that went with it that got to me. I think that was when everything changed.

  • omfg i hate humans long live dogs what about cats never saw them in this video

  • If you click under the video - the video response it takes you to the cat video

  • Victoria, BRitish Columbia and Nanaimo, British Columbia both have made the right decisions to end the gassing of any animals. Nanaimo just recently. Let them know made the right decision. Duncan and North Cowichan are nestled in between the two cities., Time to join the rest.

  • Well, I don't believe the ''If you must kill me, do it with kindness'' thing. Sorry but I don't think ''killing'' and ''kindness'' can be put together. However, I do agree that we must stop the gas chambers. The only ACCEPTABLE method of killing should be lethal injection, and no other. Many pounds and animal shelters still use the gas chamber and it has got to stop. It is terribly cruel. STOP THE GAS CHAMBERS! STOP THE CRUELTY!

  • "killing with kindness" means lethal injection. Banning Puppy Mill Practices and Spay & Neuter is the solution.

    ~Gisele

  • Yes, Puppy Mills must be banned, too. They're horrible. We must encourage people to adopt in good shelters instead of buying in pet stores... (and spaying and neutering.) Thanks for this video, Gisele.

  • You are welcome!

    ~Gisele

  • I understand that those two words together is perplexing. Jim Willis, World Animal Day Ambassador, supports the "Kill Them With Kindness" campaign.  Isn't it amazing that we think we are civilized yet are gassing animals by the truckload?

  • Where are the vets to stand up and say no to this??

  • Does anybody know of a vet that uses the gas box?

    If not, why not?

    Thousands of vets use sedation, then euthanization by injection. How they do is speaking volumes.

  • We will fight for them until all are free from suffering.. and no killing at all. Put breeders and puppy mills out of business.

  • Right on Sammans. That's where the cost is. People pumping puppies out to make a buck.

    I saw video of a places in New Mexico that dispose of 800 animals per month. I'll bet they are scrambling to stop excess animals coming in.

  • Love your answer!!!

    ~Gisele

  • I say it's time for gassing to be stopped everywhere. WE all must speak out. Thanks my friend for spreading the word. It may take one shelter at a time, but in the end hopefully it will stop.

  • It will stop because there are so many people that don't want to turn away. I know I want to help ending gassing of animal everywhere.

  • If only we would all speak out as you say tipster!

    I love people who speak their mind and Americans are known for it. It's a great way to be.

    Speaking out is the best way and probably the only way. Tell them what we want.

  • Ah, we will always speak out. Thanks for the great reply and thanks for posting this video.

  • Great video!!

    Thanks for sharing

  • Thanks for watching!

    ~Gisele

  • Please check back from time to time. We have 2 decisions on the gas box left. The first one was successful, and now the cats there will go to the vets for euthanization like the dogs.

    It was already in the contract, would you believe it but the company wasn't following it. When it was brought to light in June, they had to stop using the box. They like that box best.

  • This is not okay. I live only a few miles away from Duncan and did not know that gassings are conducted in that community. I believe that Victoria's SPCA has stopped gassing. Apparently we must, all of us, personally go into these "shelters" and impounds and ensure that the word "humane" is truly present. The shelters rely on our donations and government one-time-only grants. The pounds are political locals, and the local taxpayer decides policy, if they get out and vote.

  • Way to go askalice50 hook up with 1Blarney Load of love from Carol:)

  • *** It was public pressure and gettiing the word out and it is working. The Victoria SPCA got rid of their gas box and got rid of the Wests at the same time. Lynn and Rick West had run that place and the gas box for many, many years.

    The CRD (Capital Regional Districtgot rid of their gas box a couple of years ago and changed the manager there. He got rid of the box too saying it wasn't worth the controversy.

    So it can be done.

  • Sent this email: I am shocked to discover that this is considered a viable option to get rid of animals who don't have homes. What is wrong with people who think this is acceptable. The last time I heard about gassing was during the second world war. I'm sure I don't need to remind you of that. You people need to deal with this immediately and come up with a better solution to the problem of people who surrender their animals, or don't spay/neuter their pets. Why should the animals suffer????

  • You've got it Gillian. Guess what else people aren't understanding about this? Many of those pets that are picked up are lost and abandoned pets. Some are happy when their picked up and wagging their tails and purring when their placed in the box. That changes when the gas starts hissing inside.

    It's such a betrayal.

  • OMG, it's absolutely barbaric. I have shared this video with others so hopefully the decision-makers will get a flurry of email. The more people know about this, the better chance it'll be abolished. This just breaks my heart.

  • I think that the idea you came up with is what will abolish the use of the gas box. It's when people like you and so many others read and see this and want to know how to help.

    That's the power of the internet that we can write to the decisionmakers. Their duty is to listen to the will of the people. Plus they want to get re-elected. This is how we let them know what we want.

  • Can anyone get the email address to send a message to the Montreal council??

  • I looked and there is a mayor and links to lots of boroughs. Is there supposed to be one mayor and council. Maybe there is someone from that area that would know how to contact the entire body of politicians? Please someone else take a look and advise.

  • I have all the contacts for the Mayor. Will copy on here in amoment!

  • Thank-you so much for this wonderful video

    Gisele!!!

    If New Mexico can ban the gas chambers, BC should be able to ban the box as well!

    Been trying to link the Coastal Gassing Cats petition - guess that why I couldn't get a post on here.

    Vicki Boutilier

  • Amen Vicki!

    ~Gisele

  • BC... does that mean Britsh Columbia or Border Collie? Sorry, I'm tired! Welcome! You're #46 top rated today!

  • Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person. ~ Buckminster Fuller ~ Carol Waterman,Montreal,Qc

  • my official welcome to YouTube Miss Carol! Glad to have you.

  • Thank you Gisele for your wonderful work. You are truly an Angel of animals!

    Animals give us pure unconditional love. They have helped me to be a kinder, gentler person.

    Carol Waterman, Montreal, Qc.Canada

  • Its a shame that any animal must be euthanized - but to take the cheapest route to the end - is barbaric. Lets show our support for this cause

  • Working on a cat video for you! Stay Tuned!

  • It is the cats that need help in Duncan and North Cowichan. And they need help now as decisions are being considered. How to help? Click this site in utube favourites, rank it, then:

    1. Pull the description down on the right

    2. Copy and paste the email addresses and politely tell them what you think

    3. Tell them where else you know the gas box has been prohibited

    4. Keep checking back with us

  • On June 15 2009 the Nanaimo Mayor and Council voted to make the Nanaimo Pouind confirm to the terms of their contract- that all animals killed must be by lethal injection. That's includes cats who were being gassed at the pound.

  • how wonderful. Congrats.

  • HOORAY for the Nanaimo Mayor & Council. I just hope that before any animal is given this lethal injection, that they will administer the proper drug so that the animal does not go through any suffering.

    Carol Waterman,Montreal, Canada

  • Nanaimo did the right thing and kudos to them.

    When we know better, we do better and that is exactly what Nanaimo did. After the last meeting Nanaimo, BC council knew better and they did better that very same night. They decided. Nanaimo rocks!

    There are many good politicians and we must let THEM know that.

  • "when the angels can't sing, and your world is still lacking of me... " we must do something. We can't save them all, but to die a horrible death, is just too much to accept.

    ~Gisele

  • You did it again my friend! Wonderful work when youonce again make my cry. Why don't people understand. It is like Mahatma Ghandi said "The greatness of a nation and its' moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.'

  • Ah, Your Isis girl is on 3:37! too great of a photo to pass up! She's gorgeous! Thank you Jackie!!!

  • Yes Reckless, I heard those words too. That is why I hope that people will turn toward this issue and tell the politicians where they live. All the gas boxes must stop being used for our companion animals.

    We can no longer stay in denial!

  • Denial no more. Welcome to YouTube!

  • So many people don't know gas is used all over Canada and US. I can't tell you how many people just stare in disbelief when I tell them. Then they say, "Are you serious? Why do they use the gas box instead of a vet like people do with their own animals." Honest to God, they hardly can believe it.

  • What a great video for Canada!

    Who knew that the gas box is still be used here?

    WHEN WE KNOW BETTER....WE'LL DO BETTER!

  • "but you never knew, and the truth that you'll find will always be the truth you hide" a quote from this song. Many do not know Ms. Anita, about the gassings. It's time for people like us to let others know, and let them make up their own minds. People vote, don't they?

  • Absolutely true! To educate will eradicate cruelty to our precious animals!

    Thank You Gisele.

    Carol Waterman, Montreal, Qc. Canada

  • Carol, you have a lot to do in Quebec. Isn't that province loaded with puppy mills?

  • Hi 1Blarney

    Yes, shamefully, Quebec is noted to be the Capital of Puppy Mills of Canada. We have so much to do - to educate the public, pressure the governments to drastically change our existing animal laws. Our mission is to fight against all animal cruelty.

    Against the inhumane treatment of animals in kill-pounds, using the gas chambers; the cruelty of all farm animals; the cruelty caused to animals before & during transportation to the slaughter house and more.

    Carol, Qc Canada

  • Hi Carol,

    Gassing animals and puppymills are so directly connected. Go into any pound, shelter and see how many there are so young. Purebred or not, these are all displaced pets, there are too many that just aren't baby puppies and people find them not so cute anymore.

  • I agree! Shamefully, Quebec is known to be the capital of puppy mills in Canada. We must stop this and pressure our government to drastically change its' animal laws. There will be a huge demo on October 4th, in Quebec City, for WAD day. Come and join us if you are not far from this city. We will be demonstrating against ALL animal cruelty. The Honorable Marlene Jennings MP of N.D.G. and Lachine, Qc. will be there, amongst other prominent people.

    I will post a link for the details

  • I am so happy that this video is in Canada because who do that the gas box is still being used.

    WHEN WE KNOW BETTER...WE'LL DO BETTER!

  • There is an awakening in Canada. We've done it before, let's help them out and make it happen. Stop The Gassing.
