A bill was introduced on Capitol Hill aiming to ban the use of gas chambers in animal shelters, drawing support from locals, activists and celebrities alike.
According to Utah Animal Rights Coalition executive director Jeremy Beckham, Utah is one of the few remaining states to still allow the practice of euthanizing animals in this way. Something he hopes will change.
Even though this bill has made its rounds on Capitol Hill for years, Beckham says he is more optimistic about it passing, this year. “This is just a bit of a black mark on this incredibly sacred place,” said Heigl. “I believe our animals and our voiceless and our innocent deserve our conservation and our care. I think as Utahns, we are better than this.”
Salt Lake County animal services say they don’t use gas chambers and there are more humane ways to put an animal down if that’s the last option. “We believe that if we are doing probably the majority of euthanasia in the state because we are the largest no-kill municipal shelter, that it could be achievable for other shelters as well,” said Callista Pearson.
