West Valley City animal shelter gas chamber (Jordan Whitney, ABC 4 News ) SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC 4 News)- It's a bill to regulate animal euthanasia at government-controlled animal shelters. It passed through a house committee last Friday. But, it's been altered to allow for use of carbon monoxide chambers.
HB 185 would allow shelters to use gas chambers as a means of killing unwanted animals. Anne Davis is the executive director of the Animal Advocacy Alliance of Utah. Davis said,” It's barbaric some of the things that are going on.”

When Dan Alix returned to his Salt Lake City home from a short vacation 18 months ago, he found the family's cherished beagle, 16-year-old Chance, had run away.
After a frantic search through shelters around the Salt Lake Valley, Chance turned up at the Midvale Animal Shelter, still wearing his collar and identifying tags. An irate Alix confronted shelter staffers, wondering why they hadn't called him.

HB185 Animal Euthanasia Standards, passed the House Government Operations Committee unanonmously on Friday February 26th. We are now pushing to see that it is put on the Consent Calendar so that the entire House can vote on it. This is likely due tothe fact that it got a unanonmous vote.
The bill is not ideal. It does not ban gas chambers like we would have liked. I does, however, set standards for their use. They can only put one animal at a time in a single chamber. Regulations, standards for conditions and care plus certifactions, will be discussed and implemented this summer along with members of the Animal Control Officers Assn.
HB185
HB185, ANIMAL EUTHANASIA STANDARDS,
SPONSORED BY REPRESENTATIVE, JAY SEEGMILLER
The bill will ban the most egregious forms of euthanasia such as shooting, beating, drowning, starving, that is going on in Counties such as San Juan and Millard.

A Logan man was arrested and charged Friday with felony animal cruelty after police say he used an airsoft gun to shoot a small dog in the testicles multiple times.
Emilio D. Hoy, 22, was booked into the Cache County Jail after police acquired information from an anonymous source that he reportedly tortured a Jack Russell terrier Dec. 24 by holding the dog upside down by its tail and discharging the air gun at the animal’s testicles from a few inches away. Airsoft guns fire small, non-lethal plastic rounds.
