Advocating for the plight of rescue animals can often take a heart-wrenching turn when new information is gleaned in the name of inhumanity. It is hard enough to comprehend millions of animals ending up in shelters and rescues, often through a selfish act by a human being, and then being euthanized because they ran out of time or space at the facility. It is truly unfathomable that gassing rescue animals to end their lives is still legal in many states. Imagine the fear a rescue animal may already have in the first place and heighten that visual with being lodged in a tight cage with other unfortunate victims or placed in a concrete room where you will choke, feel pain and struggle for breath before death intervenes.

This is an atrocity not fit for human beings or animals.
